Mine is a 2012 that has 200k kms. Feels barely broken into, runs like new. However I was looking at a 2001 Highlander Limited for a friend. Saw one in top shape but with 450k kms. Owner has all maintenance records since 2001. Was wondering if it was worth getting it for $5000?
2012 with 200k KMS, well done. As for the 2001 Highlander, I think the price is a little steep and would try to bring the price down a bit. Service records and KMS are one thing, but check the under carriage and body for it's condition.

Great vehicle. What do you mean what to do? Maintenance wise? Oil change, check coolant level, if brakes have lots of life left, and make sure tires are in good shape. Check coolant hoses for cracks, make sure battery is healthy and if alternator is charging properly. These cars can go far without issues.
@@tkclips506 hey! Okay So the starter just was changed, along with timing belt & the alternator. I also just got new breaks, tires a wheel alignment and a new battery. I just got my oil changed, last week and they checked my transmission level, motor life etc. My check engine light is on though but that is because my car needs struts I was going to get that sometime next month. Do you think it will be okay on the highway?
@@tkclips506also my mom is telling she don’t think it would be a good decision because if I bring it to college with me now, in two months for the summer time I have to drive it back but I keep telling her that it’s an Toyota and those cars are built to last!
@@randycausey5269 Ok, so a ton of work was done to it, you should be fine. Regarding the check engine light, it's not due to the struts, I have a feeling it's O2 sensor of some sort. Buy yourself an OBD2 Bluetooth reader on Amazon for around 20 bucks or so, download a free app and it will tell you what the check engine light is. Is yours a V6? The V6 3.0 engines are much better than the 4 cylinder ones, either way it's a Toyota, they just go.
@@tkclips506 okay so, my mechanic just checked my car about ten minutes ago. He told me that the car is fine but I do need structs/shocks. I have two options I can either do the trip or leave the car down here and for the summer time come back and it will have the struts, idk what to do is structs/shocks something that can wait?
The Highlander is very popular in Cambodia almost all of them are import from US and Canada as a used car then they refresh it and sell more then $10000US depend on which year.
It's such a great and reliable car that it gets boring over time lol. I'm glad you enjoy the Highlander. The windshield got replaced eventually and I since sold it. Which pick up will you buy?
@@RamBo-uu9so That truck will will be around for a long time by the sound of it. Having a true 4x4 is great, gives you that edge, especially a truck that can haul. I ended up purchasing a 1997 LX450, so far I'm loving it, but a gas guzzler.
The Best SUV
They really are. What year is yours?

Are you going to re-apolster the seats? Its not that hard, i did it on mine...
No, I have sold the car. I do miss it a little. I have since bought a 1997 LX450. Where did you buy the seat upholstery for yours?

@@tkclips506 that's a nice car too! I am tempted but my trips would double in fuel costs and I like how small the HL is
Our 06 has 332k runs great!!
Amazing vehicle indeed, so great and reliable, it just keeps going. Wow, 332K and an 06, broken in nicely.
@@tkclips506 3k oil changes, 40k diff, 60 k tranny and a good carbon/oil cleaning of the throttle body and intake manifold.
@@RamBo-uu9so well taken care of, love it
Hey do you still have it? I have an 02 Highlander with 160K miles, I wanna take it to college with me (6HRS) way what to do?

Seems like it is loved by many around the world. The V6 3 liter engine is the best out of all of them in my opinion. Do you own one?
2001 Limited@@tkclips506
That's my car! Same color, but mine has a good windshield. Mine=167K miles. Love it, though thinking of going to a pickup.
Great video, thanks!

I purchased the 07 Tundra SR5 4x4… it now has 287k runs great. I change the engine oil every 3k. Keep the truck till it or I die first.
