I think you get more $$$ for the VW than the Toyota for 2nd hand if it there a big waiting list for the car.
Dont forget it cost more for the Toyota to repair than the euro cars

I've own a Toyota Camry for 2 years before changing to the E60, all I have to do is to do regular engine oil change .. I think Toyota is still indestructible.
