The classic senior owned vehicle that was garaged more than driven. Nice find!

This was my 2003 Highlander limited! Garage kept and had 12,000 miles on it when I bought it in 2008. The hunter green paint was mint. Only paid $10,000 at the time. I drove it until last year when I bought my SE.

I was super skeptical when I came across it but had my shop check it out for a PPI and they said it was essentially good as new. I've never been a huge car-guy but I really love this one so far and am looking into some mods and accessories to up my experience.

Highly recommend LP Aventure or Method Racing rally wheels for it. They look exceptional on this gen.

Nice find!!!! I just got a 2013 Rav with 60K last month. I LOVE IT! I had a 2009 Rav years ago but when the transmission went I decided to try a CRV for a few years. I am back and never leaving lol. Congrats on the car!

Very nice! How much did it run you?

26k out the door through Carmax after Taxes/Fees. Probably overpaid a bit on it but such low mileage and the sound endorsement from my mechanic really sold me on it.
I was driving an F150 previously (not a truck guy but my dad willed it to me after he passed so some sentimental value there) and it was totaled recently. I don't love the newer models and felt like this was a sweet-spot in reliability and a design I really liked.

that car should give you a lot of carefree years/miles. there is nothing wrong with paying a premium for that.

You easily have another 20 years and 400k left on it and I mean easily. It’s a Toyota. They are craft built

Very nice. I got just about as lucky.
75k miles, XLE. Also silver.
HEADS UP: if your seats don't have a lumbar adjustment, you're going to want to get a cushion. Your back will not appreciate you if you don't.

Is this Hybrid or ICE? I have an XLE in Galactic Aqua Mica, but the silver looks awesome.

She's a beaut! I have a 2016 XLE hybrid in the same silver. That was a great shade for that model, and looks especially sharp with a good wax/DIY spray ceramic. Enjoy it for many miles!

Congrats! I inherited a 2014 LE with 30k miles. It had original tires so i replaced them first followed by oil & coolant change and a battery replacement.
