Agreed. The new car I purchased early last year has remote start. First car I've owned with it. I'll admit it is nice when it is cold outside to give it a "head start" while I'm getting my stuff together.

However it is just that, a convenience or nice-to-have not a necessity, not even remotely. (pun intended) If there was an ongoing fee associated with it I would let it lapse. In fact such a thing would deter me, would be a black mark against choosing that make/model to begin with.

I already have very low regard for Toyota - they are one of the 3 makes on the market on my "never buy" or "never even consider" list.

A Toyota with 100k miles is barely broken in.

I gotta ask what makes you say that?

Why would you nit consider the best made car you can buy according to Scotty Kilmer? And I concur having owned six of them and never spent a dime on repair other than battery and tires. Last one I drove for almost ten years and spent not one dime on repairs.
