Because it says Toyota on it.
When I was looking for a truck, I came across plenty of used F-150s, Rams, and Silverados for $4000 or so that were in pretty good shape. The cheapest Toyotas had well over 300,000 miles and were full of rust and various other problems––-for the low price of $6500 and going up from there.

Check out the infinity qx56. It's not much more expensive. I was looking at sequoias until I saw the qx up close.

My dad has an 02 Sequoia Limited with close to 150k on it. The only work done to it so far has been pads/rotors and oil changes. It even has the original battery still
It now is in need of a front suspension rebuild but still runs great. We've taken it on several trips down south or out west and the ride is so smooth and comfy. It kicks the shit out driving/riding in any of the big 3's offerings. Toyota builds quality shit.

I originally wanted a Sequoia. Once I started shopping around, I figured out really quick that I could not afford it. I don't get it. I ended up with a Crewmax Tundra which is basically the same thing except it has a bed instead of a 3rd row seat and back roof/hatch. So, 15-20k more for that?
  - Now, I have decided that I probably really didn't need the Sequoia anyway.

Even the older ones hold there value. Problem with buying them used is they are good quality and don't really break so people don't maintain them or just do the basics. By the time your looking at buying it used you have to do all the fluids, timing belt etc. with other imports like BMW,Mercedes they are maintained better becaus stuff does breaks and people fix it the majority of the ones I have seen are better maintained because of this.

If it's fanboys, there are enough out there to make it worthwhile to consider when comparing resale and replacement values. I bought an '86 Ranger in 1991 for $7500.00, and drove it for about eight years. At the end of that time, I had to pay someone (the junkyard...) to take it off my hands. I'd spent something like $10,000.00 in repairs keeping that thing on the road over that time frame, too. The Toyota truck that replaced it was a 1990. Paid $7000.00 for it, and when it was stolen in 2002, the insurance company was forced to pay me $8100.00 when they totaled it out. Yeah, I had to go to an independent adjuster to make that happen, but that's what a comparable truck was going for in 2002. Maintenance costs in that five-year span? Just about nil––All I did was change the oil. The Ranger went through two transmissions in the first five years I owned it. Bought a 1993 4Runner a few years later for around the same price, and when that thing got totaled in an accident, the only things I could find in comparable condition were priced at around $9300.00. Which was precisely what the insurance company wound up settling for. Toyotas, for whatever reason, hold their value. Buy one used, maintain it properly, and you'll probably come out money ahead when it comes time to sell it. Whatever you spend on a comparable US-made vehicle? You're basically pissing it away. Hell, I've got a twenty year-old Land Cruiser out in the driveway right now that still drives and handles better than some of the brand-new US-made SUVs that belong to friends of mine. It's not just the "fanboy" factor, either––Toyota makes good stuff, and their lemon-to-good car ratio is a hell of a lot better than most manufacturers. The other nice thing? They stand behind their products, at least in my experience. |

Toyota's hold their value. My base model Toyota Tacoma (4 cylinder engine, 2-WD, tiny ass tires) is the first vehicle I've owned that has maintained a positive value, it's still worth more than what I owe on it. Every other vehicle I've owned I was always underwater with it until right before the loan was paid off.

Because they are uber reliable, will easily run 300,000 miles and are built like a tank.
Ford, Chevy and GMC all have huge pension benefits that cost between $1,350-1,750 per vehicle sold. Toyota doesn't so they can invest that money into higher quality materials where the domestic companies have to cut corners to cover pensions. Those changes explain why Toyota's have better build quality. And don't think I'm a domestic basher. We owned an Expedition and now own a F150. Both do not have the same quality as my old Tacoma (that I wish I still had) or my wife's new Sienna. Domestics are getting better, but they are still behind the Toyota. |

Might cost a bit more than GM vehicles, but they hold their value more as well. At least from what I have noticed..
