I'm researching for my next vehicle and my mechanic recommended looking at Toyotas for the same reasons that Honda is known for: longevity, reliability, cost, etc. When I pointed this out he had no further words. Can someone explain? My last 2 vehicles by happenstance were Honda and Acura/Honda, but literally a middleman purchased what was available on my behalf.

I am going to move from the mediocre dealership to an independent shop that is passionate about Toyota products. Need help finding a shop.

I sadly crashed my rav with no ins. Now I don’t know if I should sell it for parts or spend eons w/out a car trying to fix it. It has 150k on it , still starts but the passenger wheel is pushed back possible frame or strut damage. I’m broke and need a car what do you think I should do? Advice is appreciated.

I can take picture and it works, but I can't upload one from my photo gallery. If all's me to allow permissions, but then doesn't give me the option for storage permission. This is on Android

My mom will give me her Avensis Diesel, from 2010 with a 2.0l 126bhp turbo. I wanted to push it for around 160/170 bhp, but I don't know what to change. I tought about changing part of the exhaust system and the fuel injection system, but I don't know if there's a better option. Any ideas?

This is the car I have and I am thinking of taking this to Africa where the conditions will not be like the uk. A lot more dust,some roads are not paved so some off roading and it will be much harder to find good mechanics with parts there.

Are these cars reliable, are the common issues I should know about, is the evap canister an issues with these etc or anything else?

Also I welcome any advice on parts to take as I’m going to keep the car there, so I will be taking lots of servicing parts(this can be found there but cheaper here), is there any parts people recommend and also most important off road mods to do which won’t kill the bank I also highly would love to hear this. Thank you

Hello Toyota community,

I'm in the UK - my sister has a 2002 Corolla which is stuck in it's MOT because of a faulty air bag sensor - I know it's a big ask, does anyone know or have a contact for someone/somewhere that could supply the part? The information we have from the dealership is: part number is 89170-02180 Sensor Assy, Air Bag, Centre.

The dealership can't get the part anymore as Toyota have stopped making it, EBay etc have been trawled and people who sell Corolla parts on there contacted to no avail.

Any suggestions or leads are gratefully received. With thanks

For three months I’ve been calling Toyota motor credit to get proof my car has been repoed. They refuse to send it. The first person I talked to told me I’d have it in two weeks in the mail. I requested an email but they said it’s impossible. Sure, ok, waited and nothing. So, I called back, second person told me they haven’t sent it yet because they’re waiting on someone to approve it and to wait. So I called back two weeks later and complained and this person tells me that there is no set waiting time. It could take a month. So o called after a month because I still didn’t receive it. I’ve even asked if I can drive to a location to physically pick it up myself. Impossible they say. I need the proof my car has been repossessed so I can get a loan to pay off my debts. It’s been three months. I hate Toyota!!

hello, I got in an accident (wasnt at fault, t-boned a girl that tried to do an illegal left turn crossing double yellow. my airbags deployed and frame damage)last month that left my 2019 Yaris deemed as a total loss ): insurance said we can buy it back and get it repaired but it'll have a salvaged title. I decided to take the payout and just get a used car. we were originally looking at a 2017 corolla at the dealership priced at 16k but my dad and I saw the 2013 corolla, it had one owner only. I instantly liked it because of the body plus its superrr clean and nice, past owner definitely took great care of it! we both test drove it and I loved it ! some minor cosmetic damage but its not a big deal, I just dont want a new car because of the car payments rn at all😅.

my parent's main concern was of the high mileage as this will go to my little sister when I get a new car in 2-5 years, but I told them I wont be driving as much since im graduating college this weekend. the rep also told us they got the car 3 days ago.

insurance will give us about 15k for the payout.. I'm hoping we can get the corolla for $8-10k but im not too sure... my mom tried to bargain the corolla initially and the rep was meh about the price. I just dont know how Toyota does it when the car is old + high mileage but in great shape.. we all are totally new to buying used from a dealership😅

curious if anyone had an experience buying an older used car with high mileage? appreciate it !

I live in Toronto, which we all know theft is on an all-time high so when I receive my RAV4, for sure I'm installing the immobilizer but I just found out the Toyota dealer would be able to install it however it's $300 more than CSI (North York, Ontario). I'm not sure if I should go with Toyota or go to the third-party then install the same immobilizer for $300 less.

Also, if I choose to install it with CSI, would it affect the warranty with Toyota?

Would my vehicle (newly purchased) Corolla hybrid nightshade be eligible to have minor frame damage covered under warranty ? I also have platinum coverage under the maintenance plan.

I am just double checking on if I am missing something. It seems the camery is equal to the crown in every category (foot print, HP, cargo capacity, technology, but with superior mpg, and faster, because its lighter. Why is the crown more expensive? Other than looks preference, why would someone buy the crown?

*Edit I mean 2024 crown sedan... though they both seem to be the same as well

I live in Belgium and I'm looking for a new car from Toyota and I'm interested in the GR yaris or the GR86 but both are "out of stock" in Belgium.

So 2 questions: How can I know when they will be back, if ever? And also, how can I know which car or new version of existing model will come out? if both of those cars arent coming back, i'd like to buy when a new car comes out, but how can i know whats coming this year?

Hey y’all what low rolling resistance tires would recommend for 2021 Camry Hybrid SE with 10k miles (besides the Cross Climates which aren’t really low rolling resistance)

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I put in a deposit on a RAV4 Prime in MD that was originally slated to be delivered by the end of the month. The shipping timeframe has now been updated to be within June 5th - June 10th. However, the lease cash deal is only good until June 3rd and I placed my deposit under the premise that the offer would still be available.

Has anyone been in this scenario before? I'm anxious that they are just going to pocket my deposit. and I get rug-pulled from the 6500 lease cash offer as well.

Got a 24 Camry LE about 2 months ago, cloth seats already got small stains. Want to get seat cover but don’t know which ones are valid. Does anyone know of or recommend any?

I’m looking at getting a safe for the center console of my Toyota Camry 2017. The company I’m looking at starts their models at 2018 and newer. Does anyone know if the center console on the 2017 the same as a 2018?

Fully stock, only painted emblems and hubcaps.

Hi everyone, I am extremely frustrated. I cannot seem to buy the right type of wiperblade for these specific arms on my Avalon. I bought a pair of rainx blades, but it looks like those fit j hooks. Obviously my car isn’t a j hook and I cannot find a pair that would go on to these- let alone a tutorial on YouTube. Every yt video has a jhook or is so awfully recorded I can’t tell shit. I am so frustrated. I bought another pair from Amazon but those just look like cricket legs and i dont know what to do with those. Someone please help me

I just got a Toyota prado 2020 GCC but when I open the browser and play a video when I drive it shows me some lock so I can’t watch the videos

How do I bypass this ?

Hey everyone, I need some advice. I'm considering buying a used 2009 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab for $11,800. It has 99,063 miles on it, was owned by only one person, and was only used for personal purposes. There are no reported accidents. Do you think this is a good purchase? If you have any other recommendations for vehicles under $12,000, please let me know. Thanks!

GR Yaris gearbox/flywheel f*cked?

Hi all, having issues with mine a month and a half into ownership and I'm wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem.

Bought mine on 32200 miles, currently on 34900. Yesterday whilst changing gear from 1st to 2nd I noticed a grinding noise and the car started vibrating a bit more agressively from then onwards. On occasions when setting off from 1st I could feel a grinding noise, and then again whilst going into second.

No warning lights on the dash or on the app.

I've contacted Toyota and got it booked in for the end of the month at a main dealer to have a look at it, luckily it's still under warranty.

The technician on the phone wasn't able to tell me what the issue could possibly be.

The car is parked up and I'm not planning to drive it until I go to Toyota.

Have any of you had a similar issue, or maybe have any idea of what the issue is?

Thanks!

I tried searching online and it made me more confused.

So I got the new Toyota Veloz and it's my first time using EPB plus it has automatic mode that engages when I shift to P which I think is nice.

I read the manual but I wanna know how you guys actually do it when parking and starting to drive. Also on uphill/downhill.

This is what Im currently doing

Starting: P - D - EPB disengage
Parking: D - P (EPB auto engage)
Up down hill: P - N - EPB disengage - D then depressing the pedal slowly

Thanks

I'm buying a used 2003 Avalon, and it has ciggerette port and a charging port in the center console, but no AUX input. Is it hidden away somewhere on the car or maybe I have to take the radio out to wire it in somewhere? I want to play my own music but this car doesn't have an input

Hi all. I am in need of a solid farm vehicle, something I can beat up and haul wood, gravel, etc with. I’m not looking for luxury but something reliable and a workhorse. I can across an 08 Sequoia for $10K with 180K miles on it. The vehicle history appears to be clean and has records of service. I realize this is a lot of miles; but it is a Toyota after all! So I thought that by putting minimal miles on it, we could have this thing for a long while with proper care on it.

Does this seem reasonable? I’d love to hear your experience with this model. I currently own an 04 RAV4 and love it, but it’s more of my daily driver and is too small for hauling things.

Thanks for your time!
