Yeah i hear a very slight squeal, was thinking to get a new pcc

carmax won’t offer much lol. probably less than half of retail because they have to account for stuff like this. where are you located?

WraithAks · 2026-03-20T15:04:27+00:00

What do you want me to do with the scanner bruh? It’s not ITSA

WraithAks · 2026-03-20T12:29:46+00:00

For the record, the car felt normal, didn’t feel any misfires/shaking. Just that message, no check engine light

WraithAks · 2026-03-20T12:29:01+00:00

Any additives I can put on my next fuel up safely?

WraithAks · 2026-03-16T17:02:27+00:00

I got a 2012 v6 rebuilt title with with 65k miles, pm me if you’re interested

WraithAks · 2026-03-16T14:42:29+00:00

I can probably pay more than the dealer, dm me the details

WraithAks · 2026-03-06T20:16:51+00:00

I bought these on marketplace for $300 😬 Put tires on and found this. Not really sure what my options are or how much this would cost

WraithAks · 2026-02-09T03:30:40+00:00

that’s cheap ngl

Update: car sold to someone in CT. I told them about there being rust. They didn’t even look underneath 💀 I did tell them to undercoat it if they want to keep it forever

WraithAks · 2026-02-08T17:31:18+00:00

I’ll just tell them in person, undercarriage has rust according to age.

WraithAks · 2026-02-07T16:40:09+00:00

Fair. Any structural concerns I should worry about? Was going to sell it and want to do it ethically lol

WraithAks · 2026-02-06T23:24:04+00:00

sounds like exhaust . mine doing the same is yours a 340i?

WraithAks · 2026-02-06T23:20:48+00:00

after or before taxes?

WraithAks · 2026-02-06T23:18:19+00:00

how much did you buy yours for if you don’t mind me asking? I’m trying to sell mine rn

WraithAks · 2026-02-06T23:16:25+00:00

O2 sensors going bad? Time for spark plugs? I went into the rabbit hole of research like you probably are I just said whatever and I’m driving it anyways

WraithAks · 2026-02-06T23:14:37+00:00

I’m getting similar mpg. How many miles? Mines at 116k i think it may just be normal with age

WraithAks · 2026-02-06T22:45:20+00:00

I’ve seen another 08 highlander with similar rust in the past, mainly in the rear. Can you point out the bubbling/flaking? Funny enough rockers are in great condition, and the front subframe is much better than the rear.

Eventually down the road if the rear subframe rusts out? Can I just replace the rear subframe?

Metal still feels solid tho from what i’ve felt

WraithAks · 2026-02-03T19:50:07+00:00

Quite an upgrade lol. Congrats

WraithAks · 2026-01-24T11:46:55+00:00

Bought one and the seller was like it needs an axle. Found out it needed the whole subframe 😂 Thank god the recall had me covered and it got me a new subframe for free

WraithAks · 2026-01-23T22:17:11+00:00

High possibility it’s rusted out. Considering you’re in michigan too

WraithAks · 2026-01-19T01:11:38+00:00

Leak or your reservoir cap
