In this case it is true. Toyota does not support their cars for very long. I have a 1988 Corolla gt-s, a 1999 Solara V6, and a 2003 MR2 Spyder. Many parts simply are not available. It's sad because, I love these old cars, but I find myself sometimes making my own parts or retrofitting other parts.
They are also in constant need of attention. Most of it doesn't keep them off of the road, but still they need maintenance. Consequently, I bought a newer car as my dependable transportation when more than one is broken at a time.
