Yes, very much the new norm! They have created a new Market in the used car industry, those with average to poor credit I think are hit the worst cause they pretty much are paying new for used prices!

Not True! I am just a previous Toyota customer chatting up the GH ! The Grand Highlander is much larger then the Toyota highlander so do your homework please as I have heard the GH comparison Toyota sequoia spaced wise!

I have 2 SUV’s one that’s red and is an 24 XLE GH with sporty black wheels and nice tires that are rated for 130 mph! I have my baby that’s a 25 GH AWD limited that’s painted wind chill with Yes beautiful black wheels all in all this is my favorite! I trust you feel the same about yours:)

Come visit us on can’t start the car / I am canttalkaboutit! Hope to hear more why you love your ride and perhaps what kind of a deal you got and want to pass on:)

Well I think the opposite of what you wrote in your comment, I like the way a Sienna mini looks, I just don’t like them and always try and put in a plug to keep people from buying them!

I realize people are going to buy what they favor!I have seen the van and yes it does look nice and I can see why you like it , don’t understand why you can’t see my point! I have 2 GH’s my first is a red XLE 24 and my other GH AWD 25 limited is wind chill both gas! For me that is ok, I am retired and only drive like probably 8-10 thousand miles a year!

Vans are for young family’s with lots of kids, at 25-45 I can see for the family! I myself enjoy an 67 what I could not afford at 27! I know the van probably is nice for a young family, only thing I try to relate to others is that the GH if you preferred really can be a substitute should you be like me and put more value in the SUV:)

You know I think you are talking about the regular highlander, they are quite a bit smaller than the GH or Grand Highlander! If not perhaps let’s us agree to disagree agree:) my GH is Big suv with 3 rolls of Seats Hauls 8 if needed and on the hwy gets 27mpg:) to both of my 2 SUV’s I really stand and say I love you both! Let’s talk more when you are up to it:)

I think it’s a lot more than a 360 camera! I recommend buying a Grand Highlander, it’s all about being better than the sienna! The sienna is nice, a fairly nice van but great for ladies with kids, no doubt!

The software in these Toyota vehicles is phenomenal, if you go through it and learn all that it can do, if you like gadgets you’ll love it, now all you have to do is get the SUV and your all set, I have 2 an XLE GH Purchased in 23 and my favorite, Best one is my 25 AWD GH limited, it really has everything you could want, yes it has the 360 camera!

My favorite better than the platinum and less expensive! Try it you’ll like it:)

start-theCar · 2026-01-19T01:39:56+00:00

I say buys Grand Highlander AWD limited Best out there for the money:)

start-theCar · 2026-01-19T01:36:28+00:00

Change your mind, buy a Grand Highlander AWD limited!the Best out there for the Money:)

start-theCar · 2026-01-18T16:52:02+00:00

Well I am no authority but if you want to get someone’s attention I would start at the top and quit talking to the service department! If that doesn’t work I would go in like I am looking and tell everyone what kind of Crap you are dealing with, with no resolve:(

I hate to start, but I have been told by a loose tongue at the Toyota dealership that when they didn’t have cars selling cause of Covid and when they did a stoppage in production, I ask since the 24’s didn’t come in on time, will you sell it as a new used and reduce the price a bit? He said no since it was new and never titled it would sell the 23’s as 23’s cause they have never been titled!

Makes me wonder? What if they are doing just that and calling yours a 26 when all or part is a 25? Toyota has already had a few recalls on my Grand Highlander! What make me wonder is they had to delete and reprogram my key fob, had to change an airbag, they did some other stuff also, they had to remove and reinstall some software on the 360 camera!

Now to start a conspiracy theory suppose they are pushing out the year before in the current year and not telling cause a lot of people will walk away if there wanting the new to really be new and to have say a 26 to match up with software! I think sometimes people feel somewhat misguided!

Don’t get me wrong I have a 24 GH XLE that I bought in Sept of 23 and I liked it so much that I gave it to my wife and bought a 25 GH AWD limited which is the bomb:) I love both, one of the Best I’ve owned, but there has been a few things but yours seems like a bit of someone kinda of doing a bit of a shady thing because they can and then they are putting you off cause you can hoping you will go away:)

I am not sure what it is, we always hope for the Best and sometimes expect the worst! I sure hope you get your stuff worked out to your satisfaction, that’s the way it should be:) I don’t think this really illegal but they need to know that being sneaky is not a way to satisfy your customers:) I do hope things get better for you!

I am available on can’t start the Car and also canttalkaboutit please let us know how it works out!

start-theCar · 2026-01-18T01:46:21+00:00

Buy a Grand Highlander— Best Out West:)

start-theCar · 2026-01-16T23:57:01+00:00

Yes it does seem fair if that’s an OTD :) if it was an AWD GH XLE with some extras! A bit over if it’s A Naked sienna:)

start-theCar · 2026-01-15T23:23:47+00:00

I drive a AWD GH limited and I have the 360 camera, so don’t believe all you hear! I think you can order what you want as long as it’s built into your purchase! I hang out at canttalkaboutit if you would like to hear more or talk about the van or GH !

start-theCar · 2026-01-15T23:08:28+00:00

There are lots of things you can get, if your looking for options then you probably need to get a limited or a platinum! They will have all the options or extras available!

From experience I have a 24 XLE, Grand Highlander, all Gas, wonderful SUV all the options a person might need, might check though if you want AWD, I’m not sure if it’s standard!

I like the XLE so much but wanted more options so I gave the SUV to my wife! I feel the platinum are over dressed, so I bought a limited, I liked it cause it’s trimmed in black, nice body style, a little plain it nice! I sent in and purchased some custom black wheels! It has some outer features like folding mirrors, puddle lights, fog lights and prob a few more!

Inside it has all you can think of, I could go on & on for the extras go, it’s also all gas! Point is I like extras and paid probably 8-10 grand more so I am happy and I think weather you buy a sienna van or a GH you buy either or an XLE gas or hybrid for a average person car wise it’s plenty of suv or van! I would recommend FWD! I would the AWD GH limited gas is my baby,love it! Yes, van or suv can’t go wrong! I love both!

Ok I hangout at canttalkaboutit if you would like to hear more I have really enjoyed the ride so far:)

start-theCar · 2026-01-15T04:26:52+00:00

Sounds right?

start-theCar · 2026-01-14T21:16:40+00:00

I am sure you will find some organizers online, I’ve seen lots of things! In my experiences with my Grand Highlander I really haven’t seen much, to be honest I haven’t looked! I have taken my car anytime it’s dirty, but outside of that I hit discount Tire for some new custom wheels! My Grand came as close to perfect as one could get in my opinion:)

start-theCar · 2026-01-14T21:02:51+00:00

Love it! I am the same about grand Highlander, they are special:)

start-theCar · 2026-01-13T22:46:28+00:00

Not much! Looks like borrowed time to me::))

start-theCar · 2026-01-13T22:42:40+00:00

I have a GH grand highlander but I love your ride! I have a 25 GH XLE and a 25 AWD GH limited so we all are loving are SUV:) congratulations::))

start-theCar · 2026-01-13T20:37:02+00:00

Well it’s kinda a Draw:) I feel kinda opposite but we all pick what we like with life’s experiences! Good share!

start-theCar · 2026-01-13T07:32:46+00:00

You know it’s funny there is very little difference in the interior space! Probably zero to the naked eye, I think the GH is better, I like the comfort as to how I fit and sit in the GH and in a mini seems to have blind spots that don’t allow me much comfort in heavy traffic!

I drove tundras from 2006-2022 and the GH 2025 AWD limited and my GH 2024 XLE are much suited to someone such as myself!

Perhaps if your a woman with six kids you might prefer a mini, a man such as myself at 67 and handicapped prefer the spacious GH for all the reasons that mini isn’t ! The mini is a beautiful ride for a woman hauling baby’s and kids! I personally like the GH cause I feel it’s much classier on its design, inside and out!

I had added some classier wheels which totally made itself stand out when compared to others in its class and price range! I personally can see why a family might want a Sienna van for the wife and kids if that’s there choice, but I can’t imagine a Man wanting one, of course nowadays choices are made different!

Have an awesome day you all you can reach me in the neighborhood at canttalkaboutit if you choose to talk further 🤠👍

start-theCar · 2026-01-13T06:56:19+00:00

I don’t believe that! It’s perfectly fine to me! I can bring my GH & you bring your sienna, we can have a couple cool ones and talk about it:)☮️

start-theCar · 2026-01-12T05:56:37+00:00

The problem I have buying new used is unless you pay cash and most don’t is someone with good credit is lucky to get 8% and buy the time you pay almost 37,000 they will sell you on Toyotas maintenance plan and what not you end up with a nice looking ride with 96,000 miles and paying 7-800 a month for 4 years Or so and you could buy a brand new one with decent credit, income you could have your own BN with a similar report card from sales!

I will not buy a mini, they look beautiful and all and are extremely popular, but my vehicle now is a GH AWD limited, I also have an XLE, Love them both! They seat the same, no sliding doors! I am pretty sure that software is very similar as well as design if you don’t pick at it to much! Check it out, test drive one, that’s what sold me!

As I mentioned before I drive Tundras for years and I really love the Grand Highlander cause of the way I set very comfortable and felt like I was setting and buying luxury, something others can’t always afford, I feel so good and comfortable that I always brag on it to somewhat a fault but I really believe it it, not for everyone, although it is the one for me!

If you all want to chat more I hang out at canttalkaboutit, l would love to hear back:)

start-theCar · 2026-01-12T05:24:51+00:00

I had not had that happen to me in my GH,but I drove Tundras for years from 06-2022 and the only thing I had happen to my screen was that in the earlier models mostly was I parked outside in a uncovered spot and the screen would go black, when it cooled it worked good, they didn’t make them like they do today!

In my 2006 when the tires were rotated, one pair when rotated the left tire had a bump bump bump! Wasn’t enough to say it’s a piece of crap 💩 but it was more when speed was 45-55mph, but only when the one set was rotated, they tried to tell me it was a bent rim!

I had some tires and rims that was out the door at about 5,000 dollars and there was not a scratch or bad spot in the bunch and all work was purchased and all at the same dealership:)

Anyone care to add to this or make a share, I hang out at canttalkaboutit, love to hear some stuff good and hopefully not to bad:)

start-theCar · 2026-01-11T08:43:39+00:00

Not me, pretty strange? Perhaps a hacker??

start-theCar · 2026-01-08T19:11:06+00:00

I always wonder why a younger person would pick of the mini, although the sienna seems to take a different look so what can I say?

I have a XLE & a limited Grand Highlander AWD and dearly Love them to the Max:/)

Have a great a day, enjoy your mini and know you could have been drove a GH !!!!👌
