The Substandard materials used in the frames...

...on the Toyota Tacoma was on every vehicle. BUT, not every vehicle was covered in the Re-purchase.

No, not at all.

But, let's just say the value of the vehicle involved was lower than the repair.

Toyota was offering 150% for the Re-purchase price, you see. So, in order to fall into the area where the truck owner would actually receive a check rather than hideous repairs the vehicle had to be a much older model.

That was a lot of money to Toyota. After all, their mechanics were paid anyway in most of the dealerships and they could get a discounted price for the actual mechanic's time at a certified Toyota dealership.

I have to set it straight, to most owners these trucks are more fun than any present under the tree. They are fun trucks. Seriously, right up to the point where they ain't no more and their bodies won't stay attached to their frames.

So, to mitigate their losses, Toyota decided to set certain conditions on the Re-purchase.
