Bogus Lawsuit CostsToyota 1 Billion $ - Toyota Yaris Forums

I bought a base '05 Tacoma in 2006 for $15K. Two years and 32K miles later I totaled it after hitting black ice and sliding into a rock cut bank. The insurance adjuster offered $14,750 for it. $250 depreciation! I took the money and put it down on a Tundra.

I had a recall notice in my desk for the vehicle awaiting me to make an appointment at the dealer.

If I was a crook, I could have claimed the throttle stuck and I hit a icy spot, totaling the truck. Probably would have got a new Tacoma +$$$'s from Toyota. Not my style.
