Hello Scotty, just wanted to let you know that you've made me a believer in toyota. My father in law has an 02 echo with 390 000km. I just had to replace the starter for him. In the 20 years he has owned it, that is the only major work he had done. Also, he does not do any regular maintenance on the vehicle. My next car will be a Toyota. Thanks for your videos.
Just be sure to avoid problem models, like those with the oil-burning 2AZ-FE engine, that Scotty has talked about.
