If you’re a Toyota owner, you should know that there’s a huge accelerator (note: safety) problem across its models and the company has issued a recall on close to six million cars already.
I’m a Toyota fan and one reason why is because they virtually make the most practical and most durable mass production cars in the market. But this issue will definitely have tarnished that reputation.
Now, if you happen to own one of the affected models, you should also know that other car companies would want you to ditch that Toyota and buy one of theirs. Oh yes. Business is still a predatory thing.
Rival automakers GM, Ford, Chrysler and Hyundai are all offering cash incentives for those who’d like to trade in their Toyota. Chrysler is offering $1,000 for Toyota trucks to be traded in for any Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, and Jeep vehicles. Hyundai is offering the same $1,000 cash bonus for any Toyota vehicle traded in for the Sonata, Elantra and Elantra Touring cars.
So, if you’re a Toyota owner, will you trade in your Toyota for any of these vehicles?
Our take? $1,000 doesn’t seem like a good enough deal to take on a new car. Sure it sort of takes car of the bit of depreciate you suffer from buying a new car. And personally, I’d still take Toyota over a Chrysler or a Hyundai. Better weather it out. Toyota’s near a permanent fix anyway.
