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?

I agree. The 4-cylinder Toyota engines don’t seem to have sludge problems, and continue to be as reliable as ever.

And, NO, you don’t need a V6.

Should I avoid Toyota Used Cars because of Sludge?
