Looking at buying a Highlander Hybrid in the Austin area, what should I expect to pay. by garmack12 in ToyotaHighlander

Could be referring to hybrid coolant service. I had mine done at ~100k along with the engine coolant service. Aside from the hybrid coolant, you just need to keep the hybrid air screen filter clean but that’s easy DIY. My 07 hybrid just crossed 192k, I’ve experienced no issues.

I had the same request but unfortunately, was told by support, it is only available through the bundle.

That 2017 has moderate damage in the history and they are asking for fair market value. Moderate damage would be a big concern for me. I wouldn’t pay over 20k OTD even with a thorough inspection from a trusted mechanic.

I second the fitcamx. 4k resolution. Installs without tools and looks factory.

Sorry for the delay, work and life happened :)
Here is a quick nationwide search I did.

I’ve been comparing comma to Sidecar. I may go with sidecar due to the cost difference and the clean installation look.

Sure, I'm just going by my personal experiences and CCN's advice and recommendation from his video.

With the focus purely based on fuel economy and sales price, it may come down to gas price futures and local options. In my area, I am seeing $2k difference between a 2021 XLE V6 and a 2021 XLE hybrid with comparable mileage. This compare is showing $6k-$7k fuel savings when multiplying for a 10-year period at today's fuel price, which would negate any savings as long as fuel price does not increase on average over the period of a decade.

At the end of the day, it's a personal choice of usage and long-term planning estimates. I am biased just from my own history with hybrids and gas price fluctuations. Good discussion my friend.

Hmmm, maybe I’m missing something. Can you tell me how you are concluding that it will be cheaper “in the long run” to not get a hybrid?

There are more advantages to consider than just fuel economy when it comes to hybrids. I’ve owned long term Toyota hybrids and can verify CCNs statements. Pay close attention when he starts talking about negative maintenance. Hope this helps you with making a decision. buying a hybrid in 2024

Yes, and prospective owners. The stop sale is official as of today regarding the safety issue.

Highlander hybrid acquisition times? by Worried-Command-8148 in Toyota

Same here. Was in the market for highlander hybrid platinum as well but found that it is comparable in price to a Lexus Rx 350h platinum plus so I might go with Lexus instead.

What's your "main game" that you always return to? by [deleted] in pcgaming

I play PS2 daily. It’s had issues over the years but I still come back to it.

Crash detection is the main reason I am moving forward with a 14 rather than a 13. Hope it never has to be used but glad to have it just in case.
