    Toyota In More Problems

    Well big business and politics ...... They've also have started facing issues in South Africa so it complicates the whole theory about American auto makers. Unless the plot really thickens and SA is acting up based on Big Brothers instructions and in exchange of cheaper vehicles! Earlier, Toyota reported a huge swing back into profit in the last quarter of 2009. Its net income was 153 billion yen ($1.68bn; £1.06bn) after a loss of 164 billion yen a year earlier. Toyota confirmed its estimate that it would lose about $2bn (£1.23bn) in costs and lost sales from its worldwide recall of potentially faulty vehicles. It added it had not yet worked out the cost of the latest reports of brake problems with the new Prius - BBC.

    N 16 Super Saloon

    Rear head rest and I think on the older models dual airbags, touch ac etc
  5. Woah 1.9?? Is there big price difference between manual and auto? Cos the ones on AL are being priced at 2.4. In fact I went to see the green one. Thats auto BTW- any idea why the car market has suddenly gone dry??
  6. If the MTA6 is filed to match the CR then you "shouldn't" have any issues. As the CR is printed off system should match the records right?
  7. The above friend said the following - Veeeeery comfortable (its a her and she literally purred!) - Had issues with parts as the agent usually said they dont have it in stock. They had to get it down from Singa - She couldn't sell it for months finall sold it for 2.3mn whereas bought it for about 2.8 I think.
  8. Well I think he signs the MTA6 and you sign the MTA8. But maybe I'm wrong
  9. Hi, Hope you had a great one!
  10. Hi a friedn bought a tribute and couldn't sell it for months. Not sure whether it was sold I could check. The CRV is the best bet IMO.
  11. You need to get the MTA6 signed by the registered owner AFAIK
  12. Thanks Jaga
  13. Hi any update guys
  14. Thanks. Which YOM are you referring to?
  15. Hi guys, What's the current market price of an ES8 VTI Appreciate a fast response as this is kinda urgent
  16. Good one - quoting the Fortune article. To be fair though Hyundai did switch directions and hence the older cars may actually be as bad as the are supposed to. But hell lets give them a second chance shall we!!
  17. Two sides to the story. Lower taxes mean; better cars on roads therefore safer to passengers and environment. Also better fuel economy ends up as a saving.(except for tax on fuel) But it also means more vehicle on the roads; and as I don't think we have an exit plan for the older vehicles this means more congestion and more pollution etc. Also bear in mind infrastructure is not really up to par. Higher taxes can also be seen as a deterrent to everybody buying a car. Also average person is going to need credit to finance a new car so more debt. It's Catch 22 really and hence not worth wasting time on
  18. Yeah a t***** is best. even though the Korean have overtaken the Japanese on technology, KM etc

    Weird Noise

    Hi guys, any opinions on this?
  23. Hi guys. There's a weird noise akin to a spring being would up (tic tic tic) when I drive. It starts as soon as the wheels start turning and speeds up in time to the speed of the wheels. Took it to the local garage and he said it was the brakes! So changed it and then the noise stopped. But its back after about a week. Please help.
  24. My ABS light turns on at ignition and only turns off after the engine is started. Tech at A*W said it was cooked! Apparently the ABS indicator should turn off within 1 sec of turning the car on.
