 Before you purchase a car, check to see if the company stands behind their product.  Some companies do and some companies do not.  According to my recent experience with Toyota, they definitely do not stand behind their product.  Paint was chipping off immediately after purchase and it was determined to be a defective paint job by the factory.  Google "Toyota paint peeling" and you'll get tons of results.  I called into their corporate customer service and they were immediately trying to deny that a warranty applied even without hearing which model car and year I had.
