If it's not Toyota, take the Patrol.

This may not answer your question, but it may raise a laugh:

A man applying for a job at a Mildura lemon grove seemed to be far too
qualified for the job.

The foreman frowned and said, "I have to ask you this; have you had any
actual experience in picking lemons?"

He replied: "I've been divorced three times,
Bought a Pajero and I voted for Kevin Rudd."

nothing beats good old fashioned research! dont buy anything or listen to anyone until you have the knowledge to understand what it is you are being told!
