Q: Questions about the Toyota Prius and hybrids?
I’m looking to trade in my car for a hybrid, and I have a few questions.. I drive mostly in the city, and I find the Prius gets the best mileage, and I really like the interior. I’m open to other suggestions and would love to hear your ACTUAL EXPERIENCES with them. And would you suggest getting one now or waiting on till next year’s? (and how long would that be?)
And what edition would you suggest?
And what edition would you suggest?
A: My Prius is an ‘07 Package #2 and it serves me very well. I get 42mpg in the winter, 50mpg in the summer (since the engine is not running all the time, in hot weather it’s easier to keep the gasoline engine warmed up).
I got the Package #2 because I figure I didn’t need the fancy things like on-board GPS, bluetooth or the Bose speaker system. I kind of regretted not getting the package (#3) with the bluetooth option though now that I got a cell phone that will work with it, but I’m still very happy with mine.
Before the inevitable idiot starts blabbing how the battery needs to be replaced every 2 years for thousands of dollars, here’s the real scoop: The Prius battery carries an 8-year / 100,000-mile warranty. If it fails before then, Toyota will replace it for you free, so don’t let that scare you.
The only problem is that you probably won’t be able to find a Prius to buy. Right now the waiting list at dealerships is like 3-6 months depending on where you are.
Q: Questions about replacing Toyota Truck Engine?
I have a Toyota Truck that needs the engine replaced that has been parked for about a year.
What should I reasonably expect to pay to have the engine replaced?
What else should I expect to have to do to get this truck running again after it has been sitting for so long and how much might I expect to pay for that?
A: It really depends on what you replace the engine with. Are you going with a new engine from the dealer or a used or rebuilt engine from a local mechanic? Also depends on the model of the truck. If a local mechanic rebuilds your engine (I would go with this, myself) it will probably run around $2,000. If you buy a rebuilt engine and have a local mechanic install it it will probably cost around $4,000. Often after a vehicle has been parked for about a year, the battery will be bad, and the front and rear transmission seals will also need replacing. It usually is much cheaper to replace the front transmission seal while they are replacing the motor (since the motor or transmission needs to be removed to gain access to this front seal). If you replace this seal while rebuilding the motor it should cost about $100. The rear transmission seal I would just wait and see if it leaks before I replaced it since access to this rear seal is quite easy. Sometimes the front disk brakes will seize up after sitting so long and that cost will vary, but somewhere around $50 to $200 to fix that – but that one really depends on what must be done to free it up.
Q: Where’s a good site to ask TOYOTA questions now that the TROLLS have ruined this one?
A: Sorry for my rant.
Definition of a Toyota Troll- A person who hates Toyota, and posts here 24/7 ranting about how bad the company is. No one cares.
If you hate Toyota, thats okay. But to the point of when you start posting crap about it 24/7 is just unbelievable.
Toyota quality is not perfect, but at least they’re reliable. And I will continue to buy them.
Q: I have oil questions about my brand new Toyota Corolla?
-When do I need to add more oil and how much (it has 1,200 miles right now)
-How do I find out what weight is currently in there?
-Can one mix synthetic and non-synthetic?
A: You don’t need to add any oil unless you see the level in the oil pan is below what it should be. It’s normal for cars to burn a little oil, but a brand new car should not burn enough for this to be noticeable, so if it occurs go see your dealer.
If you just add oil, you add little quantities until you get the right level. If you change the oil (and do not forget the filter) look in your manual.
Do NOT use synthetic oil in your engine, mixed or not. While it will not damage the engine, you will simply waste your money and will not have the benefits. Even though they say it lasts longer, it’s always a good idea to flush the oil after a few months (no more than 4, or 3,000 miles – yes even if it says 5,000 miles) as moisture might have gotten in; your oil filter might be full of debris, etc. Synthetic oil, unless required by the manufacturer, should not be used, you’re working hard for your money, keep it for yourself. Use the money you’re saving sticking with mineral oil to change the oil more often if you really want the best.
You can never change the oil too often!

Q: I have a few questions about the 2008 Toyota Prius?
1. I test drove one, but I don’t remember the exact sequence to start it. What is it?
2. The gas gauge is a simple E —– F that uses only squares. Is there a way to see approx. mileage left or another way to see it?
A: If it has smart-key (almost all of them do…except the base model which is rare), all you need to do is have the key with you. The car knows you have it. You don’t have to put it anywhere. Then just hold the brake pedal while you push the power button, put it in Drive and off you go!
The Prius will tell you average mpg but it unfortunately won’t tell you how many miles are left on the tank. The tank is a flexible bladder that changes in volume with temperature. So it’s nearly impossible to tell how much fuel is left in the tank. I believe that’s why they don’t include the “miles to empty” feature. Just start to look for a gas station when the gauge gets to 2 bars and you’ll be fine.
Q: TOYOTA PLANT QUESTIONS, DOES THiS PAY GOOD??
My friend works at a toyota plant in northeast georgia and he make 13.50 an hour and 20.00 an hour overtime and he does overtime all the time, and eventually he will make better than that but my question is, would this be something good for me to get into?
A: Depends on what you need to live on and what you want to do. Toyota is a stable company and would have good benefits. It can be a career and many do it. However; keep a few things in mind. Would you want to work overtime all the time. Many work 60 hours a week. Once you have a family etc. how will this effect life for you. Do you have the skills to advance. If the plant shut down would you have any viable skills that can transfer to another job. It all depends on your goals, skill level, and time commitments. Many auto workers are now baggers at grocery stores after being laid off and not having any transferable skill.
Q: A few questions about Toyota Supras?
Two questions.
1. Why is it that a stock 1998 Toyota Supra Twin-Turbo cost a ridiculous amount of money? $30-40k
2. How much did Toyota Supra TT’s cost back in the 90’s?
A: Because they are highly desirable.
It’s one of the few Motors/Tranny’s in the World that can handle 1,000+ HP with minimal modifications.
They look awesome, have a huge Aftermarket Following.
Everything about them is badass.
I believe (cost adjusted) they were about the same back in the Day to be honest. Perhaps a little bit less.
Not to mention they are getting Rarer all the time. So the only thing they are going to do is go up in value.
Don’t forget that people are willing to spend $40K+ on one. That is probably the number one reason they cost that much. If nobody is willing to spend that much, the price will come down.
Q: I got a few questions about the Toyota Camry?
1. Does a Camry with a V6 engine take alot of gas?
2.If i buy a used one how may kilometers should it have on it or it doesn’t matter
3.and last are the parts cheap?
A: I’ve owned a 95 Camry and had good luck with it.
The 4 cylinder typically gets only a few mpg better than the V6 in most cases. You would think the 6 would be a gas guzzler. The reason they are close is because the 4 cylinder needs to work harder than the 6 to get the car moving. Harder work means more gas used.
If you have the choice, I’d go with the 6. More power when you need it and it’s a smoother running engine. Just keep your foot out of the gas or it will use it.
I’d keep the mileage under 200,000km.
Camrys don’t need a lot of unexpected repairs, but things do happen. When you do have to fix something it can be more expensive than a domestic car, on average. Like any car, if you keep up on rutine maintance it should last a while.

Q: 1987 Toyota Corolla Power and Exhaust Questions?
So the a/c runs blows cold and works but when I come to a stop the entire car starts to shudder and the rpm’s fluctuate but only when the a/c is on. It also runs sluggish with the a/c on, and I notice that when I come to a stop and have my turn signal on, the voltage starts to drop and rise with the turn signal. Could it be the alternator?
Also the exhaust is loud (and not in a good way), what’s the highest max price for exhaust? I know it definetely needs a new muffler, and most likely a few other things are messed up.
A: Its most likely the distributer that is messing up your voltage
You can get a good new exaust system for around $100 if you shop around
Q: Someone stated on one of my questions that Toyota is not the company they once were, is this true?
they said that there are more and more recalls every year
A: When you grow to be the number two car maker in the world and begin producing cars all over the world – you’re not going to be the same company.
More cars from more plants would naturally mean more recalls. And, as they move into more unchartered hybrid waters, you can probably expect more issues.
Toyota has a good run with reliability (unlike just about all other Japanese makes). It must be a tough fight to keep these quality standards up accross the globe.
Appearance wise, don’t think Toyota has “heritage” of outstanding cars. They have flip-flopped with some real turkeys in the past.
Q: Is there a number that i could call toyota and get some help answering some questions about my car?
A: Toyota “Customer Experience Center,”
800-331-4331 Found at www.toyota.com under “contact us.”
Hope this helps. God Bless!
Q: toyota interview questions?
i have a job interview with toyota for a warehouse associate job on tuesday i was wondering if anyone knows any questions they may ask me from a previous interview.
A: I do have friends working for Toyota as warehouse manager and order taker.
You job responsibilities as warehouse associate involves filling the orders, packing the parts prior to delivery, stocking inventories, and of course, a bit of heavy lifting.
During the interview, they would ask you if you understand auto parts well. How can you tell if that is a correct part and some general questions.
This job is not a very high demand job. They’ll train you if you are the right person.
Good luck.
