Im trying to get a toyota highlander Limited hybrid or a regular Limited. 2010-2013. I can't find something under 13000 or 12000 cheapest. Most are out of town. You got a great deal deal! Know any around for around that price let me know.

@eggmanwi please! Honda "rust bucket" should be it's real name! I drive 4 of those rusted through Subframes. Maybe the new ones sure.

Thank you for sharing your experience and tips.

Thank you it's been great so far

Hopefully you're able to find one a little cheaper

@@Oldbass40 there is no way to get that out here in california. I'm looking at a 2009 limited as well but it's 13k with 11900 miles, I think I'm going to get it because Toyota runs forever!!!! I have a 2006 Toyota solara with 200k mileage it stills runs like a beast no major problems yet and I think it will last 300+ miles

@@the_truth50 yeah the price I got mine for is definitely a one in a million. I've looked on Autotrader many times since I got mine and anything similar to mine is at least 10k. I still love mine and hope it lasts a long time. Hopefully you have success with what you end up getting. Covid-19 has made used car prices insane. If you can wait longer I'd bet prices will begin to come down

@@Oldbass40 agree! I would do a complete tune up and I think it should be goof for another 100k easily. My Toyota still running I love it and I will wait til December maybe by then this circus is over!

Thank you for the nice comments! Yes I'm very happy and congratulations on yours as well.

@kmhack1012 How many miles did Suvanna go to?!?

That's awesome man! How many miles do you have on them?

I figured it out after making the video. I just didn't know how to properly open it when I made the video

In my opinion I don’t like the 2008 highlander or 2010 because in my opinion I don’t like the face. of the front in my opinion looks very weird One thing I don’t like about the used Toyota highlander’s is the seats I they like a little smooshed and I have owned One of these 2008 highlander in my opinion I just don’t like it

@@itslasun2.0 can you prefer Chevy Tahoe with all the interior falling apart? Lol

@@yodead369 Sure 😂

@@itslasun2.0 in my opinion 😂 wow

@Ángel Martinez meh, it’s to Grandma. Plus the high risk of catalytic converter theft make that car not a good option.

No such thing as 4WD highlander. Theres AWD

@@18HunnidBK obviously, Toyota classified the model as four wheel drive so that's simply what I wrote . I have all drive vehicles yes they're the same thing. Everybody's got to be a politician.

Hows the highlander ? Looking at a 2009 with 104k they want 10k.

@@moe9587 great deal! Just start it up in the A.M. make sure it doesn't make a rattling nosie from the timing gears! I test drove a few and they seem to have an engine vibration between 900 and 1000 RPM check that also and see if it's smooth or rough.

@@moe9587 the only other major problems they have or had are: 1. Timing gear rattle which is a $6,000 repair if you want it done. 2. Rubber oil lines should have been replaced with metal ones or they can just shoot all the oil out on the highway. 3. Wheel bearings especially the rear ones wear out first.

Congratulations on your great deal

Awesome! Thanks for sharing about yours.

@@Oldbass40 I was going ask if yours was made in Japan? I just checked mine, and apparently l got lucky. A lot of them where made in Indiana.

@@proconjon4208 ones that we’re made before 2011 were made in Japan or check your vin, if it starts with a JV it’s made in Japan

Hi, I’m loving this video and the community of posts that have followed. I just bought my 2009 Highlander limited with 95k miles for $13,950 from a private seller. The interior exterior and engine are in mint condition. The ONLY downside is it spent its life in Wisconsin and appears to have a lot of rust on the underside. My question for @proconjon4208 is: were the replacement of the tie rods, sway bar and brakes the only thing it needed? I just bought mine last week and will be taking it in to a mechanic to get the rust damage evaluated. Just would like to hear more of your experience with the same car from the rust belt. Thanks!

Hybrid stuff? Car Care Nut!

I ended up finding a used one at a Salvage yard for only $100. It wasn't in perfect condition but much better than the one in this video

@@Oldbass40 I would still recommend some high-quality tan sheepskins, so much more comfortable than leather and It protects the seats. Another item I picked up is a cloth cover for the center console. eBay, like $10. Feels great on the arm and the consoles have issues with cracking due to how thin the leather is.

@@artistnyc123 I actually prefer just the seat without a cover. The prior owner had already replaced the armrest cover on mine

Congratulations on your purchase. Sorry to hear about your door. Maybe that part is available used somewhere like eBay or www.car-part.com. That would save you some money.

Do you still have the 2009 Highlander? Wondering what differences you noticed between the 2nd and 3rd generations? How many miles did they go to?? Thanks :)

@@haleyolsen I do still have both Highlanders. First off, we absolutely love them. I am also familiar with the third generation. But the 2009 is the limited trim level. So it has every available bell and whistle. I believe we are sitting on around 135,000 mi right now. With that being said, I do not take it to the dealer, however, I take it to the local repair shop but do the dealer recommendations. It runs very quiet. We love it. The key to the Highlander is getting the V6.

Hello, it is a really nice vehicle. It drives and rides different than the CR-V but I do like it. Since it has a 6 cylinder engine it's gas mileage is not very good. I get around 18mpg around town.

I ended up figuring out how to open it and it works fine. I had assumed it would automatically open when pulling the handle which it didn't. You had to hold the dash button or use the remote button to open it

@@Oldbass40 and press the square rubber button to the right of the latch to close.

Yep I had already used that even before figuring out how to get it to open

Awesome find!

Hey Buddy! All is good here...Hopefully you will end up getting a good deal on one. Thanks for watching :)

Good luck finding another 2009 with 163k in that condition for 7K or less. It's not out there in the Limited trim, I've been looking. Not close.

Yeah prices are high. Yes the battery pack on a hybrid will eventually have to be replaced and they're quite pricey. I haven't owned one so I can't say how long they last

@@Oldbass40 Thanks. by the way how many miles this one had? You won't find a great deal like this no more for a 09-13 limited model. Limited is model is luxurious.

@@omarbernal2408 It had around 160,000 when I bought it

$5-6k for a hybrid battery replacement

Edit: after doing mad research. I just found out if there is an oil leak around the Timing chain cover you have to drop the whole engine to replace the seal. And that's a big job average 4k to do. But if yall have that kind of money then go ahead. Same goes for the Rx350 of that Generation. Same engine.

Thank you

I'm getting around 18mpg around town and 21mpg on the highway

Oh wow.. so they hold their performance pretty well then. Thanks

They have been done since I got it and the front bumper was repainted. I also found a good used driver's seat and also learned the power tailgate does work I just didn't know how to open it. I really love it

Well that’s good and you have one of the best engines Toyota has ever made

I am having to add about 1 quart to it about every 1,000 miles. It now has 194,000

It's been running great. I love it. Let me know if you find one

@@Oldbass40 any advice on the Best Way to find One. I'm using car gurus currently

@@mikebrown8014 my mother has it and I can tell you that it’s a very reliable car, she got it at a car painting shop for sale back in 2017 and it’s been great till today.

@@Gabriella_Macy What Year did she buy is it 2009 or later thanks for the info

@@mikebrown8014 2008 base model

I'm about to have 4 grandkids I'll be using the space for them. No more systems

@@Oldbass40 I know man. Respect. You did your duty. 👍

Nope, I actually say that during the video

@@Oldbass40 okk sorry

Stock JBL sound system for the limited edition is awesome

Around 18mpg around town and 20mpg on the highway

It would fit but I am keeping it stock and if I ever upgrade it'll be something small.

You paid only $200???

@@Oldbass40 wish I could post a picture for you on here lol. The story is my buddy went off the road during icy condition's and it made a bad noise from the rear end after that so he thought it was going to need major work and so did I at the time of purchase but he was planning to have it picked up my the scrap yard for $100 so I offered $200 lol. Turns out the emergency brake bracket had broke in half and it was catching on something. I have less then $500 into it with new parts, a trailer hitch & wiring, insurance and putting it on the road 😂

@@garybell1771 That's amazing! If you don't mind send the pictures to my email oldbass40@gmail.com

@@garybell1771 nothing personal but you don't sound like much of a friend.

@@artistnyc123 well you don't know me so you can take it as you want. As I stated it was going to the scrap yard for half what I paid for it and when my buddy found out it was being put on the road he was ecstatic! He didn't need the vehicle and it was GIVEN to him in the first place by his inlaws. Idk what you expect someone who buys something broken from you to do? Fix it and sell it back to you for what you have into it for parts and time because you weren't mechanically inclined enough to fix it? Because that sounds like a "repair shop" and if you wanted to get it fixed and then keep it I think that's where you want to go. If you are the friend selling things and then having regrets so you blame your friends for ripping you off then you sir aren't much of a friend. No disrespect either just trying to put things in perspective for everyone reading comments. Love ya all

Yep, almost at 200k now. I've had to replace both front wheel bearings, front struts, lower control arm and the dog bone motor mount. Also the AC compressor, evaporator and new seals on the AC lines from front to back.

@@Oldbass40 oh ok ,sound fair . I bought the identical vehicle like yours last Sunday.

Mines not leaking and it’s got 150,000 miles

It had 163k when I bought it

Sure I will but not the price I paid...

@@Oldbass40 we will definitely agree on the price, Reall I want to buy a Highlander 2007 or 2009 and FYI, I am not in USA.

@@akramalshuhary2640 I understand but of course that won't work out
