car news japan image
???
My dad just bought my a new used car that has 165k miles on it. Now all of a sudden, he's experiencing "Buyer's remorse". He thinks he spent too much money on the car. Good news runs VERY well and there's nothing to worry about in the present time being. He has me paranoid now and I don't know what to think.
Answer
For a lot of cars, 300,000 miles is the usual EOL (end of life) point -- not just mechanically, but to a point where the car costs money to run and doesn't use gas as efficiently. If you bought a Honda or Toyota or any other brand that originates from Japan, you probably will be fine up until 300,000 or even more; as long as the car was maintained consistently.
If you got a Pontiac or a Chrysler or a Ford, it could run until 300,000, but may be less likely to due to reliability issues that are commonly found in some cars.

How much will Toyota car prices rise?

I'm planning on purchasing a 2011 Toyota Rav4 this June. Buying earlier is not really an option. News reports say that the prices will increase due to the crisis in Japan. I'm wondering how much more ($ or percent) these prices will rise. I'm looking for responses from qualified people (car salesmen, Toyota company workers, etc.) Thanks!
Answer
The popular models like the Prius, Corolla and RAV4 will go up as supply falls in the coming weeks.
Whether they will still be inflated by June will depend on whether the plants are operating at full capacity by that time. Worst case scenario - there may not even be a RAV4 available for you to buy.
Sure the vehicles can be built in other plants, but a number of the parts ultimately come from Japan. If they aren't producing those parts, then the vehicles cannot be completed.
