2001 Toyota Highlander

2001 Toyota Highlander – 308,000 Miles – Clean Title – $2,800 Plus Tax & Fees (Firm) If you're looking for a cheap, dependable SUV and understand that a 25-year-old vehicle with over 300,000 miles will have imperfections, this 2001 Toyota Highlander may be worth a look. This Highlander has a clean title and has had only three previous owners. According to the Carfax report, the first owner was a corporate owner who kept the vehicle for nearly four years, averaging about 9,000 miles per year while servicing it regularly at Marina del Rey Toyota. The second owner kept it for almost 15 years and averaged approximately 15,000 miles per year. During that ownership period, Carfax shows a damage report sometime between July 2005 and June 2007, but no additional details are available. Another minor accident was reported in June 2018 involving the rear of the vehicle. The rear bumper and paint currently look good, so we do not know whether repairs were performed or if it was simply a minor fender bender. Service records also indicate this owner maintained the vehicle regularly. The third owner kept it for approximately six years and averaged about 9,500 miles per year. The odometer currently shows 308,000 miles, which works out to roughly 12,000 miles per year over its lifetime—quite reasonable for a Toyota of this age. Mechanically, the engine and transmission perform as they should. The vehicle recently passed California smog inspection without any issues. There are no records showing a timing belt replacement. However, this engine is a non-interference design, meaning that if the timing belt were to fail, it would not typically cause internal engine damage. Cosmetically, the paint still presents well overall, but several flat surfaces have clear coat peeling, which is common for a vehicle of this age. Inside, it has an aftermarket Bluetooth radio. The front leather seats have some rips, although seat covers are currently installed. The center armrest is cracked, and the lumbar support levers are missing from both front seats. We have included photos of all cosmetic imperfections we noticed so buyers can make an informed decision. Because this vehicle is priced below $5,000, it is being sold strictly AS-IS. We strongly encourage all buyers to test drive it thoroughly and have it inspected by the mechanic of their choice before purchase. If you're looking for a perfect vehicle, this is probably not the one for you. If you're looking for affordable transportation and understand you're buying an older high-mileage SUV, this Highlander could be a good fit. Based on our inspection, our recommendation for future maintenance would be replacing the valve cover gasket and motor mounts when convenient.
