They love Toyotas and everyone drives old cars that they keep running.

Our mechanic is driving a 1984 Rav 4.
Our 2011 Kia we shipped from US. Lost it’s transmission here it took 9 months to get it fixed. So we bought a 2001 Nissan for $4000 Our mechanic says he’ll be able to keep it running forever.
Once the Kia was fixed we sold our 2011 Kia for $13,000. Twice as much as the blue book in US.
