What Owners are Saying About the 2004 Toyota Highlander

"The most trouble free car I have owned"

"I am a Toyota technician for the past 20+ years so I see it all. Lack of maintenance through kids abusing vehicles. This model 2003 Highlander V6 Limited, has almost no recalls and/or issues. I have 225,000 miles on mine and I have kept the maintenance up regularly. It has never left me on the side of the road or given me an ounce of trouble. Only things I have had to replace over time were the B1S1 and B2S1 (A/F oxygen sensors) and the temp control blend door servo. I haven't had to repeatedly replace them either. I would recommend this model to anyone looking for a midsize SUV with decent HP. I will say the allwheel drive models are heavier and you can feel it when driving them."

"excellent investment"

"best car I have ever owned. if taken well care of, with proper maintenance, continues to run like near brand new off the dealers lot. body and interior has held up so well too. always reliable, only one "surprise" which was the "idle air adjustment valve" went at approx 280k miles. my mechanic believes I will easily get up to 400k on this car then we plan to put in a factory rebuilt engine when the day comes this one has had enough......this car is a great investment"

"Thumbs up Toyota"

"I bought this vehicle in 2009 with 127,000 miles on it. This owner purchased it with5,400 miles as a dealer’s private vehicle. If I hadn’t hit a deer I would have kept this vehicle. It had 306,400 miles and gave me great service. I am a residential remodeling contractor and this Highlander did almost as much as any cargo van or pickup did that I have had in over 45 years of work. It got better gas mileage than any pickup on the road today and the ride was so nice. I had no mechanical problems just ordinary maintenance as it was serviced every 3500 miles. Now I am looking for another one to replace this one that served me so well. If you are looking for a reliable vehicle don’t pass up a Toyota."

2004 Toyota Highlander Depreciation

Annual Depreciation is an estimation of what your vehicle's value might be over time based on an average of similar vehicles. Estimations are calculated by comparing Kelley Blue Book Private Party Values of vehicles similar to yours over time, as well as forecasts from Manheim Auction data comparing current and projected auction values against current Kelley Blue Book Private Party and Trade-In Values.
