I am searching for a used Toyota but am concerned about the possibility of inheriting a sludge problem. I know its a small percentage, but I got burned on the Honda tranmissions recall & don’t want another huge bill. Should these cars be avoided due to this single factor?

Nope. Select a 4-banger. It was the 6-bangers that had a problem.
Then get whatever you choose thoroughly checked at the local garage before buying.

Happy holidays.

Should I avoid Toyota Used Cars because of Sludge?
