Great vehicle. What do you mean what to do? Maintenance wise? Oil change, check coolant level, if brakes have lots of life left, and make sure tires are in good shape. Check coolant hoses for cracks, make sure battery is healthy and if alternator is charging properly. These cars can go far without issues.

@@tkclips506 hey! Okay So the starter just was changed, along with timing belt & the alternator. I also just got new breaks, tires a wheel alignment and a new battery. I just got my oil changed, last week and they checked my transmission level, motor life etc. My check engine light is on though but that is because my car needs struts I was going to get that sometime next month. Do you think it will be okay on the highway?

@@tkclips506also my mom is telling she don’t think it would be a good decision because if I bring it to college with me now, in two months for the summer time I have to drive it back but I keep telling her that it’s an Toyota and those cars are built to last!

@@randycausey5269 Ok, so a ton of work was done to it, you should be fine. Regarding the check engine light, it's not due to the struts, I have a feeling it's O2 sensor of some sort. Buy yourself an OBD2 Bluetooth reader on Amazon for around 20 bucks or so, download a free app and it will tell you what the check engine light is. Is yours a V6? The V6 3.0 engines are much better than the 4 cylinder ones, either way it's a Toyota, they just go.

@@tkclips506 okay so, my mechanic just checked my car about ten minutes ago. He told me that the car is fine but I do need structs/shocks. I have two options I can either do the trip or leave the car down here and for the summer time come back and it will have the struts, idk what to do is structs/shocks something that can wait?

Seems like it is loved by many around the world. The V6 3 liter engine is the best out of all of them in my opinion. Do you own one?

2001 Limited@@tkclips506

What modifications have you done?

No, I have sold the car. I do miss it a little. I have since bought a 1997 LX450. Where did you buy the seat upholstery for yours?

@@tkclips506 A company in Texas that makes them in house and is equivalent to OE quality leather.. they were $160 for just the bottom. uS auto seat cover. I think they are the same as Richmond auto upholstery. You can also buy the fake leather ones for less than half the price if you want

@@tkclips506 that's a nice car too! I am tempted but my trips would double in fuel costs and I like how small the HL is

That is true, the OM617's keep going, truly amazing.

Thanks. It was a great vehicle. I sold it since.

Yes, it has the winter set on. The limited rims are the summer ones. What year is yours?

@@tkclips506 I don’t have one but I’m just pointing it out

@@willsong9483 good eyes 👍🏼

2012 with 200k KMS, well done. As for the 2001 Highlander, I think the price is a little steep and would try to bring the price down a bit. Service records and KMS are one thing, but check the under carriage and body for it's condition.

Good eye, I've cleared the drains after that video was made. The battery is an old battery, the vehicle sat for months without trickle charging, hence the low crank speed. Not in perfect shape but definitely a reliable vehicle. Do you own a w123?

@@tkclips506 well, I was a mercedes tech starting in 1971. Through the years I owned my own mercedes repair shop. I sold it in 2006 and retired. And yes, I bought an 85 one for my parents in the early 90s. I really went through it before giving it to them. I got it back around 2008. I kept it for a year and then sold it to my niece who needed a good car. And even now, its still seen around. It had the sweetest sounding engine I had ever heard and it would accelerate like no ones business. I'm still awed by it. Normally you have to do a few tricks to get them running properly. So yea, I'm very familiar with them.

@@georgecurtis6463 you definitely know your stuff regarding W123 models. That is what I love about these om617's, as long as the maintenance gets done they just keep on ticking. What a great story, thanks for sharing.

@@tkclips506 sadly I probably have forgotten a lot these last near 20 years. But sometimes looking at videos a thought comes up. Did you know why that cigar fuel hose is there for ?

@@georgecurtis6463 you still got it, just stored away 😊. What is the cigar fuel hose for? Not sure which hose you are referring to.

Great video, thanks!

It's such a great and reliable car that it gets boring over time lol. I'm glad you enjoy the Highlander. The windshield got replaced eventually and I since sold it. Which pick up will you buy?

I purchased the 07 Tundra SR5 4x4… it now has 287k runs great. I change the engine oil every 3k. Keep the truck till it or I die first.

@@RamBo-uu9so That truck will will be around for a long time by the sound of it. Having a true 4x4 is great, gives you that edge, especially a truck that can haul. I ended up purchasing a 1997 LX450, so far I'm loving it, but a gas guzzler.

Amazing vehicle indeed, so great and reliable, it just keeps going. Wow, 332K and an 06, broken in nicely.

@@tkclips506 3k oil changes, 40k diff, 60 k tranny and a good carbon/oil cleaning of the throttle body and intake manifold.

@@RamBo-uu9so well taken care of, love it

They really are. What year is yours?

Thanks

Yes, sold.

Great motors om617 😊

well maintained
