Just go buy a pre-2012 Toyota, take it to a reputable independent Toyota-specific shop in your area, and say "make it good, boss". Pay him whatever he asks. Then go find an insurance broker, ask them to put you in touch with someone who can provide you with an agreed-value insurance policy. Insure the vehicle for purchase price + what the shop changed you. Get regular oil changes at Jiffylube, and take the car into the Toyota guy once a year. Although it may not be flashy, you'll have a reliable, efficient ride for many, many years. New cars simply aren't worth the creepy factor.
