+1! It is always a roll of the dice. Hell, you could have purchased a Toyota "Reliable Beige Machine" and have the transmission grenade on you within 10,000 miles. It's about the percentages, so if you get a hold of a good one that doesn't need any work, hang on to it for as long as you can! Your next one could be a dud.
