Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Apr 07, 2007 11:00 am) There are a lot of unhappy Toyota owners that thought like you do. It is a crap shoot anymore with any car that is not under warranty. The cost of repair has gone up a lot faster than the average wages in this country. You could say the same about health insurance. The difference is if you are sick, broke with out insurance the law requires that you be cared for on the tax payers dollar. That is not the case with a $5000 repair bill on a car past the warranty. ToyLex cost as much or more to repair as a Cadillac.

Replying to: gagrice (Apr 07, 2007 11:09 am) ToyLex cost as much or more to repair as a Cadillac. So their cost to repair is still high ? I assumed by now they would be at least equal to the domestics.

Replying to: rockylee (Apr 07, 2007 11:32 am) Any modern car is expensive to fix. It costs the same per hour to fix a Hyundai as an Aston Martin, only it's more hours and more expensive parts. I don't feel like Toyota owes me, or Cadillac owes me one MINUTE past their warranty. That's their warranty. 5 years, take it or leave it. I fully understand that when I buy the car. What I'm really anxious about it buying a car that breaks constantly within the warranty---wherein I'm making car payments on a car that isn't working. Now THAT sucks and I don't want to go there.

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Apr 07, 2007 12:43 pm) Well Hyundai, has you covered for a long time both bumper to bumper 6/60K and 10/100K powertrain. GM, also has a decent powertrain warranty 5/100K and in the case of Buick, Cadillac, Saab, they have a 4/50K warranty bumper to bumper. I thought I read on this site hyundai, ranked at the top in reliabilty scores ? I could be wrong. I know they rank among the leaders. I still think it's like dice, luck with the throw.

Replying to: rockylee (Apr 07, 2007 1:16 pm) The Caddy dealer near me gives 6 year 100k mile bumper to bumper $0 deductible with every Certified used Cadillac. That is the reason I tried talking my wife into the 2006 White Diamond Escalade. She just does not like the looks. Prefers the Denali Yukon or Envoy. She also likes the GL by MB.

Replying to: gagrice (Apr 07, 2007 1:57 pm) gagrice you do know that every GM certified used vehicle now carries a 5yr/100k warranty from their date first date of in service right? Replies to this message: gagrice (Apr 07, 2007 3:14 pm) rockylee (Apr 08, 2007 1:00 am)

Replying to: kratas101 (Apr 07, 2007 3:01 pm) That is the factory standard warranty. I would assume the Certified 6 & 100k is some extended warranty. The salesman was very proud of the fact that it was B to B with no deductible. I am sure that was from original date of sale. Rocky, My wife does not like the angular lines on the Cadillacs. I guess it appeals to a younger crowd. I drove the 2007 Escalade which was very nice. Except the seats are so much harder than the 2006 and older models. The one I drove was near $70k and the 2006 with 21k miles was $40k. Too big of a hit for me to accept. That is what I am seeing with all the big luxury SUVs. Including the Lexus that is supposed to have great resale. Replies to this message: rockylee (Apr 08, 2007 1:00 am)
