Yes. 
It doesn't take long these days for threads to run off topic.
Evidence of that Dazzler? and not he said she said. And yes I have owned a few Toyotas but I bought new when I bought the GU and I couldn't justify the extra 20k for another Toyota.
Been a diesel mechanic since 84 and around fleet since then, including a stint with the government motor garage outback fleet.
Compared to other makes Toyota rarely have issues. Sure you will get the odd one but nothing consistent.
Why do you think the mines in the main run Landcruisers and Hilux? Reliable, solid and resale beyond most other brands.
I couldnt justify an extra 20k just like you. So I only ever buy second hand Toyota. Its not an emotive thing, simply based on facts and experience.
Why do you think Toyota sell for a premium. There is a silly argument that its based on perception not reality. Once again mines and fleet buyers only give a rats about the bottom line. Theres the evidence.
In 30yrs around fleet i have only ever heard one person say they wont buy Toyota again.
In no way am I bagging out any other brand which is what you are accused of whenever you raise this. Toyota spend the $$ on R and D. Nissan dont because they cant afford it and the 3.0l engine was a classic example. The 4.2td wouldnt meet euro 3 emissions. They couldnt afford to build a new one so they dropped the 3l in it. I bet they would have loved to have the $$ to build a new one but they dont.
Hop in a 200series and then a Patrol. Chalk and cheese. The 200 really is worth the extra $$ just by how much better it is. Now they have a stripped out version for the mines they will dominate the market again.
Maybe your experience has been different.
cheers
