Japanese newspapers are reporting that Toyota is expected to post its first net loss since 1963 for the fiscal year through March.

Toyota, although a favorite for buyers for its cars’ reliability and resale value, is not immune to the global auto market fallout. If you were planning on buying a Toyota, now is a great time. Don’t be afraid to negotiate the price of the vehicle down, even though some Toyota models are top sellers.
