Been shopping for around for used Highlanders... Shocked at the quality.

So the only Toyota's I have personally driven were my two Tacoma's (2007 and 2017), my uncle's 1989 Trecel, and my first car--Toyota MR2 1991. They were all great, but I have to admit, I haven't experienced Toyota's true quality until now.

I have been test driving a few used Highlanders (2009-2013) in the last few weeks, and I am nearly floored at the quality of these SUVs. I know some of these Highlanders were made in Japan, and I can clearly see the difference.

Most of the Highlanders I have driven were in the 70K-100K mileage range, and they were almost like new. There weren't any rattles and the engines pulled hard, they felt a lot better than my 2017 Tacoma...

On the Freeway there was minimal noise, and they overall just feel solid and well built. ...These are vehicles that are old and have tons of miles.

When I first started looking at these cars, I thought the 16-20K price was outrageous. After test driving, I definitely see why there is a premium

I driven lots of used Nissan's, Honda's, and Chevy's. Used Highlanders are in a different league.

There is virtually no reason to buy a brand new highlander at $45K a pop.

 

You buy one yet? They are really nice vehicles for sure.
