Toy with me, baby! or How to handle a used car salesman?

Toyota check engine lights come on when they need an oil change. They generally reset when the oil is changed but some model years required the technician (or you) to reset it manually. That check engine light may mean nothing.

I also had one come on after my air filter cover not quite right when it was relatched. I pulled the latch back up, resealed it and everything went back to normal.

Jim can give you much more current info but the price of the used car is giong to be whatever they happen to write on the sticker, usually $3-4K over what they have in it. There are always exceptions to that, but we slapped a minumum $4000 on everything used and expected to make $1000 gross on each one.
