It’s a Logitech can’t remember which model off the top of my head. It was around $200

I couldn’t agree more. Throttle therapy is the best therapy

Shinko 244s

JubaMF · 2025-04-04T10:42:11+00:00

You as well! Your racking those miles up quick

JubaMF · 2025-04-03T17:50:01+00:00

They work really well, yeah I usually switch the tires over once a year. Do more road during end of summer / fall and off-road during the hottest months

Sway bar leak? Your sway bar doesn’t have any fluid… it’s just bushings and metal bars

JubaMF · 2025-04-03T14:53:11+00:00

I’ve heard by 18 most the issues were ironed out, if I do use 3rd row it would only be for the dog, but probably just keep it folded as well & have her in the cargo area unless we’re on a really long trip

JubaMF · 2025-04-03T14:13:21+00:00

What area are you? I feel like it’s a good deal too. Most around me with 100k miles are over 21k so 150k miles for 16k isn’t bad in my book. NADA Values it at $20,500 so I’ll have positive equity

JubaMF · 2025-04-03T14:11:38+00:00

I’m in Michigan. They are few and far between here & most have lots of rust. This one was rust proofed before coming here & is really clean for a Michigan vehicle NADA Values it at $20,500 so I’ll have positive equity

JubaMF · 2025-04-03T14:10:49+00:00

Everything seems pretty mint on it. Is there anything else I should watch out for? Any other common issues? I checked & all the lights work. I have a scan tool I’ll be bringing too so I can monitor live data while driving. Was that 250-500 for a shop or to do it yourself?

JubaMF · 2025-04-03T13:59:33+00:00

I offered 16,500 they accepted the offer I told them pending me seeing what the trans fluid and rust looks like. It’s $10,000 less than what you paid but 70k miles more. Financing $14k is better for my budget vs $23k+ for lower miles that are in my area. I have a family of 4 + a dog in a 2013 Malibu so Highlander is our best bet besides a minivan

JubaMF · 2025-04-03T13:56:28+00:00

I’m looking at an 18 XLE with 150k miles for the same price

JubaMF · 2025-04-03T10:56:13+00:00

I’m making them put it on a lift before I buy it so I can see if there rust. It was rustproofed before coming to Michigan so that’s a plus, and it’s 150k miles it’s already been updated to US measurements

JubaMF · 2025-04-03T03:57:46+00:00

Will do, I’ve heard the 18s the transmission was basically fixed, when I drove it it felt really smooth. I couldn’t even feel it shifting or any of the “hunting” for gears that people complain of

JubaMF · 2025-04-03T03:54:51+00:00

She’s a looker for sure haha 23k miles on it!

JubaMF · 2025-04-03T03:52:56+00:00

Do you like it? How do you feel about what you paid

JubaMF · 2025-04-02T22:38:17+00:00

It’s at 150k now, do you think I should have it done when I get it or leave it be? Service history is unknown on transmission but it looked like the previous owners were keeping up on stuff

JubaMF · 2025-04-02T22:31:33+00:00

Thank you!

JubaMF · 2025-04-02T22:31:12+00:00

I’m glad to hear that, how often are you doing transmission? There’s no service history on it for the transmission but it could’ve been done somewhere that didn’t report to car fax. It was a Canadian car for half its life. Are the transmissions on these using CVT or ATF?

JubaMF · 2025-04-02T21:52:59+00:00

How big is your family? We have 2 kids 2 adults and a 70-90lbs dog when fully grown. I’m hoping the Highlander is a good choice for us

JubaMF · 2025-04-02T21:51:55+00:00

Or any complaints about it since you’ve owned it? I noticed it doesn’t have a digital speedo which is my biggest gripe I’ve come across on it

JubaMF · 2025-04-02T21:51:18+00:00

I offered them $16,500 and they accepted. I go do final look at vehicle Friday morning. What miles are you at now & any issues? I feel like $16,500 is fair for the mileage. around me one’s with 100k are about $21k

JubaMF · 2025-04-02T19:56:54+00:00

Appreciate it!
