My car buying philosophy over the last 30 years has been to buy a Toyota with around 100K miles. Often people start getting nervous about seeing those 6 digits on the odometer and feel they need to sell before it starts "breaking down". I have never been disappointed in my purchase!

[@donniev8181]

Toyota or Honda, you can't go wrong.

[@ethicalhackerwhitehat]

Agreed. Anything below 6 years old with 50,000-100,000 is as good as new

[@abandoneduniverses]

Here in Greece we have thousands of old toyotas corollas from 80s and 90s still on the road still going strong with proper services...or not😂 most have 400.000 or more on clocks..some examples over a milion according to my local Toyota service shop. I bought mine with 180.000 ..counted as an almost new for the milage it had. Nothing wrong with 6 digit if you have toyota especially 90s examples.Real cars.

[@dieglhix]

Your philosophy is the most optimal. I also do that, but only since 7 years when I bought my first car for $3k, 2003 2.0L Galant I still drive and looks as new!

We had a 2003 Sequoia for nearly 20 years the only downside is it rides rough. I ended up putting fox shocks on it and that made a big difference so anyone that has this air of Sequoia highly recommend upgrading your suspension to fox shocks off-road shocks makes a huge difference.

My 2006 Toyota 4x4 double cab Ute has a 3L diesel. I bought it with 320k at a great price. It just clicked over 525k. Changed timing belt twice with 2 water pumps steering and suspension bushes with tyres needing changing at 460k for on road compliance. Servicing is done every 6 months. Last month it only needed new drivers seat belt for compliance. My wife has a 2007, 2L Corolla bought with 120k on the clock. No timing belt replacement required same 6 month servicing as my Truck and with 285k now on the clock only required light bulbs for compliance....Toyota is a great reliable brand we will always look at first when purchasing a car.😊

[@bobdobb9017]

@@indepmg It could be a good deal; everyone says it’s a Best Buy used car if you can afford the gas. Of course used cars have overall Maintenence issues so have a Mech examine it, get under it, test drive it. Find out what has been replaced because at that length probably everything like ball joints has at least once. My understanding is the timing belt needs replacement every 65k, which I should probably have done since I’ve run it over 65k in the time I’ve had it. I wouldn’t be so concerned about the engine if everything else seems good, because the chance a 400k rated engine lasting another 100k is probably higher than a 150k engine lasting another 50k if you know what I mean. but you have to factor in an engine replacement sometime, so it wouldn’t hurt to price that out in advance. It’s a job a backyard mech can do with a salvaged engine. It is true the Toyota 4.7liter engine is just getting broken in when other engines are having their final days.

[@Seattle_Daniel]

Notice the antenna is up when the car is off. The original stereo would lower the antenna. That's because new stereos don't have a separate power line for the antenna. You have to wire it to the main stereo power and then it doesn't go up and down like the original. The fix is to wire a rocker switch just for the antenna power. Then I turn it off before turning the car off. The antenna will go down when you turn off the car. It will go up whenever you turn the rocker switch on.

Got an LS460, 2001, 57,000 miles, for $10,000 4 years ago - now 130,000 miles and counting.

I just bought a 02 sequoia with 400,000 miles I just a belt assembly bearing bracket in and a battery no problems

Worth a trip to California for a clean, car, truck. I live in LA, I've got 260k on a 2015 Altima, doesn't use, or leak, a drop of oil. Zero rust.

2004 Lexus GS300 with 140k miles on it. Still runs like new and bought it for the price of a couple of main dealer services. 25k miles and 4 oil changes latet still purrs

My ‘99 4Runner 4wd just turned 200,000 and it runs and looks like new.

He,s right about Canada, I had an 04 Xterra made in canada, best car i have ever had.

[@Wheeler18]

Ordinarily, you are right. But in today's McDonald's culture, people never take the time to properly take care of their vehicles and do proper maintenance, nobody even knows proper break-ins actually exist, and if they do maintenance, they put crap oil in it and have junky maintenance from those 5 minute oil change places. unless you know the exact history, older cars will most likely need major repairs like Transmissions, piston wear, corroded coolant lines, etc

[@jddj8943]

My jeep compass has 267000 no issues just regular oil changes

[@mattremmel9365]

They do still have transmission coolers on the new Toyota Sequoias. Not in the same spot but more to the left. The new models also have been improved with a transmission temp gauge in the dash as well

Now I see why my Nissan Pathfinder 2001 LE 3.5 has more than 230,000 miles, here in the north of Mexico due to good luck in Japan, greetings to all.

I have a 2010 Toyota RAV4 with 170,000 miles and a 2009 Toyota RAV4 with 120,000 Miles and honestly both of them are nothing but trouble non stop issues from transmission to suspension.

[@23456kingston]

Rav4s are one of those Toyota cars which you really need to follow regular maintenance. The 4wd suspension system is complicated and the engine is known to have leaks( easily fixed with a valve gasket change ) and the tranny is sensitive too. Nonetheless here in middle east no older rav4 has less than 400k miles on them so yes they're problematic but with good maintenance they will last for a lonnnnnnng time.

I own a 2004 rav4 with 135k miles and a 2006 highlander with 170k miles. Both have been really good to me

Any record of the timing belt being changed?

@@kaohsiung99 i haven't but it's on the list of things to do, all my brake calipers gave out in the last month at 254000 🤣

[@kaohsiung99]

@@missouribushwhacker9449 Thanks for replying! It appears that your car has a non-interference engine. That's good news. (For anyone who doesn't know..... It means that the engine won't be damaged (almost always?) in the event of the timing belt breaking.

I drive around with a smile on my face looking at all the brand new range rovers and bmw's etc.. knowing my 06 tundra will outlast them all.

[@keithhults8986]

My 1998 Sienna is in much better condition. As long as parts are still widely available, I will keep it in perfect mechanical condition. I have already upgraded and rebuilt everything, and any worn bushing on the van. Runs like new! Insurance is cheap! No car payments. The only engineering flaw in the Gen1 Sienna is the control arms were designed for a 4 cylinder transaxle and the van has a 3.0V6 on the same 4 cylinder suspension. The acceleration and braking pressure is all on the ball joints and control arm bushings, which MOOG control arm assemblies begins to wear out about every 35k miles. Otherwise the van is indestructible! The same control arm is in the Camery also. But with the intended 4 cylinder engine, they will last forever, if the rubber is good.

[@thespeckitself]

I was about to RENT a newer car for 3 weeks when i realized I could BUY an 03 corolla for the same price. I have a feeling it could last much more than 3 weeks!

[@benkohout6495]

Lower and upper control arms, struts, alignment, air filter, sway bar bushings, valve cover gasket, Pcv valve, check plugs, new wheels and A/T tires. 04’ V8 should go 350k+ drives like new again.

[@benkohout6495]

Timing belt, battery, oil change and filter.

[@benkohout6495]

First 10k miles of ownership.. Worth it though to have something that will last.

[@Bschnizzle]

Honestly I can't complain about the gas and I have owned 4Runner and highlander. Drive the Sequoia easy and you can get good mileage... Drive Sequoia 80-100 mph and you might get the best gas mileage you have had out of!

[@LuisLopez-sq1ws]

I have a 2006 Toyota Sequoia Limited 4wd with 196000+ miles on it. I love it and still drive strong. Luckily my frame has minimal surface rust, nothing major at all. I plan on keeping it until gas is obsolete. Thanks for the review Scottie!

The 4.7l is preferable over the 5.7l, they put those 4.7's in the Lexus mid size suv's and some go a ton of miles, I'd like to find a clean GX470 but they're pricey...
