@@terrenceconaway2267 yeah new cars are too expensive and IMO not gonna last as long! Drive it forever lol 💯😊

@@terrenceconaway2267 new cars are too expensive lol drive it forever! 💯😂😊 plus older is better IMO

@@Bigglesworth78 they were asking too much and days on lot was almost to 60 days… a combination of that, and fully being committed to walk throughout the process really helped navigate that. Having it for over the last 3 months I can’t imagine if they let me walk, this thing is incredible! I love this Highlander! lol I’m glad they worked with me! Definitely one of the best lots I’ve bought from! 😊

@@ThayerManns absolutely! thank you for your comment! 😊 My number one bang for your buck vehicle! 💯

@@melodybanks7339 absolutely! These are some of the best cars! 💯😊

@@PlumberGuy-ez9wx sounds like a gem! I really think this will be one of the old Toyota rigs where value goes up some in time… some of these will be 50 years old one day and still on the road! Lol

@@FishingAndCars got it for 4k 5 years ago with 60k odo. One owner garage kept. Once in a lifetime find.

@@PlumberGuy-ez9wx absolutely! I’d pick that over ANY brand new one… 😊

@@FishingAndCars for sure, only problems have been related to the salt on NJ roads and normal wear. The suspension mostly needs to be replaced that's about it, it has less rust than my 2019 Chevy equinox next to it...

@@PlumberGuy-ez9wx these were made extremely well for rust prevention… eventually it’s going to happen but yes, they hold up much better! Suspension is a wear item eventually too lol but very worth the money to keep it going! New is ridiculously expensive and not built to last IMO as much as the oldies 😅😊

Oh man yes! Absolutely! Give it a little love, 109k, it’s still a baby lol… so much potential and possibilities with these! 😊

@@FishingAndCarsI’m on the fence, Their is a sienna for sale 180k 3,500 or 2000 Windstar 109k for sale same price. After looking at a 2016 dodge caravan the leather seats were so hard and uncomfortable I don’t care if they are stow and go, I passed on it and looked at an old sienna. Now I’m trying to decide. Those older vans have very comfortable seating.

@@flowergarden1426 I would run a carfax if I was serious on something, or request one. In my opinion the longevity and smoothness on these siennas triumphs all! However regular oil changes is huge as the 3.0 can sludge up if not. Or see if they have a maintenance history/receipts for it. The sienna in my video is over 200k miles! My brother needed a family vehicle and bought it from me… still runs drives like it’s brand new! If I was a betting man and they really are similar conditions, ect… I’d pay the $1500 more for a sienna or try to talk them down to 3k… I’ve also driven one of these with over 400k miles, original motor, original transmission and running perfect! If taken care of, nothing in my opinion compares to a sienna 😊

@@FishingAndCars thank you so much, I’ve always loved Toyotas, just put down my Yaris 253k and bought a vibe with a Toyota engine. I love the body style of the 2000 sienna and I don’t know why they ever changed it, I think they went backwards with the 2024.

@@flowergarden1426 I’m a Toyota enthusiast but that ends pending model 2022 or so, so I agree… The Sienna in my video is 25 years old, very little to zero rust, mostly original parts, and like new driving experience… we just won’t get that out of the newest stuff in my opinion, but we’ll see! 😊

@@Rob774 they did! You are 100% correct 😊

@@jstephensoneyeOpen I’m not aware of how that’s been done or how to do that… perhaps dash cluster swap although these may be new enough vehicles for a higher end scan tool to see actual mileage from the engine computer… hopefully it’s the actual mileage!

@@jstephensoneyeOpen I’m sorry about your experience! Where I’m located we no longer are required to do anything emissions related. From my experience of owning over 100 vehicles the check engine light has never been burnt out, unless deliberately tampered with… it’s not impossible just more possible someone had knowledge of that! Even the best rigs ever made can be not good ones to buy… I do think these are solid older vehicles overall but definitely something for me and others to keep in mind if we buy one!!! I hope things turn out for the better for you in the future! 🍀

@@jordanmitchell-e3g Maintenance history matters lots. I’d also recommend a pre purchase inspection by someone with car knowledge whom you trust. I do believe there are many good reliable examples out there that would still have lots of life ahead of them, while also some that may have run their course… Engine timing belt and water pump, how’s that transmission and how often the fluid was changed, checking for rust issues, AWD system and suspension looking like it should and feeling like it should… any check engine lights? Check exhaust system, and more!ect… it also depends on what buying price is and if this vehicle would be a every day driver 20-25k a year might be tough… just lots of variables to consider but I do believe many of these are capable of 500k miles… always helps to have a bit of luck as well! 😊

Far from a mechanic, but I'd be wary of 300k even with the big 3(Honda, Toyota, Suburu). Even when well-maintained, you are at the end of the life of that vehicle. That being said, at that mileage, most things (belts, pumps, etc) have had to be replaced at least once by now.😂

@@Rob774 it’s all about value and needs… if you can get a vehicle really cheap because of that mileage and don’t intend on driving it a crazy amount of miles, you can have years of use :-) vehicles are too expensive lol, people lose money all the time on cars, casino, ect… why not take an educated guess/roll of the dice? I bought a 4 runner several years ago for $1k with 340k miles on it, used it two years and then sold it for $1900, driving 3-4 times a weeks to help keep wear off my daily… it was fun and I made money on it! Selling it at 357k miles 😊 only did basic maintenance and a car battery, still made at least 500 bucks 💯😂

@@taylalanphere thank you! 😊💯

@@Michael_Crist oh absolutely I talked my parents into buying one a couple years ago and they too have a 15’ limited platinum! It’s their favorite vehicle of their lifetime and that’s saying something! These are incredible! 😊💯

@@paigechristiansen1465 thank you! 😊

@@milan1969 yes, these are just unreal! That’s awesome! 😎

@@user-vc5qc5lc8u Thank you! 😊

@@funwithfurryfriends9258 absolutely! My younger brother needed a reliable rig and so I sold him my beloved sienna and he loves it also! Up over 190k miles now and still running like new! 💪🏽😊💯

lol 😂 hey i got 5 kiddos! I also own a Duramax if that helps! Needed to upgrade the family mover! 💯

@@FishingAndCars understandable 🤝

@@VinnyRanchero 🍻

@@bigboycars thank you! I appreciate the comment! 😊 And that’s awesome! It’s at 190k now and still driving like new! I’ve seen 485k miles on one of these and it was still going haha 😂

@@FishingAndCars I have five cars now and can’t even imagine. Get rid of this one. It’s so practical so powerful so right quality well it’s a yacht.

@@bigboycars 100% agree! These are amazing lol 😊

@@DJ-kh8if thank you so much for the comment and feedback! Really my family for years have been telling me to do something with my experiences with vehicles and such… I’m kind of the guy for my nephew and nieces, gone with my sister and brother and friends as well… I’m not a certified mechanic but am pretty open to most diy things… so I’ve been doing some videos on cars and lots on fishing and came up with my name simply because that’s what I do mostly lol 😂 seriously appreciate you taking the time for that awesome comment! You’re awesome and from the sounds of it have an awesome rig as well! 💯 the smoothness of my highlander and the power delivery are so so incredible! Blows me away it’s 20 years old! But I’m sure you know that as well! 😊

@@FishingAndCars Yes for sure, evertime I get in it I can't believe it's 20 years old. That's why I stick with Toyotas now. I've owned lots of GM cars and trucks and always had to work on them fixing something. I'm like you a dyi guy. You Tube helps a lot when needing to fix things 😁. I think that's great what your doing, keep it up and your videos are great too. Hopefully you'll start getting more attention. Let me know if that tire reset work. 👍

@@DJ-kh8if I appreciate the kind words lots! Thank you! 😊… I have reset it and it comes right back… I’ll look into the hub sensors more! I had a 2000 Toyota Sienna that I sold to my brother for his family and the back wheel sensors fell off so i used a gorilla epoxy to glue them back on and the tire light went away… it worked and is still working a year later! lol… I did that as replacement was expensive and I read success stories on forums. I’m also wondering if I can delete the tire light like you can on a 2004 4Runner. Under the glove box if you splice two wires together it permanently disables tire light… I may look into that as well

@@Villor_ I’m certainly not a professional at this! I only use my phone! And protecting the privacy of others and their vehicles is why I add the blurs. I do think UA-cam could make the blurs less annoying but it is what it is. Hopefully you can understand the attempt of being courteous of others… Thank you for the feedback though! 😊

@@eltonjmenezes Absolutely! 😊 Thank you for the kind comment! Have an awesome day! 💯

@@CarlosMartinez-qu1bp That’s awesome! I don’t think a better vehicle exists for the money! These are incredible! 😊 Thank you for your comment!

@@kyle82 Ryan’s Diesel Service 66mm turbo, 3” MBRP downpipe, 5” straight pipe exhaust, HSP intake kit, Wehrli Fab y bridge kit, HSP hotside pipe… sounded so so good!

Safely released 🫡

Wow! That’s awesome! I wouldn’t care about dents as long as unibody is straight who cares?!? That should have so soooo much life ahead of it! And to think you could have spent $26,500 on a newer car… hard pass for me lol but I would have picked that up too if it was near me so great find! 💯😂😊

I was getting ready to buy a new car too! And then I saw that changed my mind real fast 😎

Yeah you can buy lots of gas and maintenance and repairs(IF needed) for that difference and quite honestly even Toyota isn’t making things like they did with the newest stuff IMO… My brother still has his matrix almost 300k miles on it, runs perfect and surprisingly doesn’t leak a drop of anything… great little cars!!! 😊

Yooooo lol 😂 hey when you’re excited any word may not be a word! Lol I love it! 🤣😊 I’m glad we reveezed it! 🙌🎣

@@FishingAndCars been there, have a video of myself right after my PB smallmouth going “I’m shkaking right now oh my gob”

Yeah my words don’t come out right when I’m fighting my channel pic fish! Lol there’s a few “what’s he saying?” moments lol 😂

Thank you! 😊

Oh yeah these things are awesome lol that’s lit free rig that just keeps on keepin on! Man I love it 😂💯

That’s right! Mine has a cooler as well but no hitch was even bolted up although one can be! I’m up to almost 187k in mine and it’s literally like driving a new van lol! I’m happy for you! Thank you for the comment! 💯😊

Thank you! Not a bad catch for a 9 year old! 😊🎣💯

Hey thanks for the comment! You got to have one to appreciate! We love AWD at 28 miles per gallon, we love 300,000 miles and climbing on the original motor and transmission, original gear boxes, even bearings on this gem… and we love that we could floor this(wide open throttle) 100+ straight times from a dead stop up to freeway speeds with zero issues, as if it’s driven off the lot for the first time! Those are just a handful of things, and out of all my fords, and other makes honestly, I have never had that confidence! And my brother and myself love that we paid $2000 for it! Lol 😂

@@FishingAndCars Well when you've always had cars that got over 30mpg except for one an SUV built on a truck chassis that could do truck things and could plow through 3 feet of snow, it really spoils you.

Oh man yeah that’s pretty spoiling! 😊 I love these matrix’s but anything over a foot of snow is sketchy a bit as it just doesn’t have the clearance, for what it is as a whole it’s great! Part of me having over 100 different cars in my lifetime is appreciating almost all of them for the things they bring to the table! I’m a bigger guy, an s10 for example is a really small truck to sit in, a ford ranger is also a small truck but I had all the room in the world it felt like sitting in it! And it had cruise! I loved that little ranger lol… there’s lots of pros to most vehicles! I’m having a hard time really getting into the brand new ones, I just don’t think they are worth the money and will hold up as the older ones have…

These really are sweet cars! 💯I’d love to have a manual one! Lol… Thank you for the comment! 😊

@@FishingAndCars Welcome bro!

​@@FishingAndCars I own a 2004 Matrix base model with a 5 speed, 37 MPG exclusively highway going 78-85 MPH, 30-31 combined, 28 MPG city (23-25 at the lowest), but it's super fun to toodle around in! I've had it for 5 years and put 14k miles on it, no problems at all. Only major thing I needed to overhaul was the cooling system, but you kind of expect that in a 20 year old car.

@@myk1_sp that’s awesome! These things are just really neat cars… not trying to dis on a Corolla because they are brothers lol but the Matrix is just so much more fun to drive! My brother-in-law still has this car as his daily driver… no issues! 💯😊

@FishingAndCars Hell yeah, I would absolutely love to drive a 9th gen Corolla to see the difference in driving dynamics! The Matrix likely has a bumpier ride, but it doesn't bother me too much (maybe in 50 years it might haha), and the handling is buttery smooth. I'm keeping it until the engine, transmission, or the cancer eats it away, then I may part it out and make some dough if I was insane enough. 😂😁

Yes! Absolutely! Price, product, and reliability are just awesome! lol I love it! 😂 Thanks for the comment! 💯

Yes! It’s just so nice being in something affordable that just goes and goes and goes and goes lol 😊 Thank you for the comment! 💯

Man, only 70k on yours! Wow… $6,500 will be nothing if it goes 200k plus more like this one! I love these cars! lol Thank you for the comment! 😊

Oh man awesome! I love the manual option! That’s a lot of car for that price lol! 💯😊 Thank you for the comment!

Gets great mileage too. What engine you got in there?

I got the same exact year make and model That 2ZZGE engine is a work of art.

To this very moment, thousands more miles, runs, shifts great… my brother-in-law certainly cares lol… I appreciate the comment always 💯 from anyone and everyone! 😊

I actually agree with you! I’m a big fan of the price tag also! I would definitely strongly consider owning the 2nd generation MDX model 😊 thank you for the comment!

The car literally has the badge 4WD but I do understand it’s not a truck with a 4x4 transfer case with 4hi and 4lo, ect… That said, all 4 wheels spin and in 2005 there was way less electronics slowing them down from turning in slippery conditions… appreciate the comment though! You’re technically right! Lol 😊

In my opinion, yes! The 4WD/AWD option and the rear hatch makes this Matrix a really unique car! In terms of reliability though they both are phenomenal lol 😊

It’s essentially a more functional Corolla, I just purchased one, and the flat folding seats are nice.

Typically the first go to for problems is a new o2 sensor, I’ve even replaced cats before only to still have code after… if it doesn’t effect running condition, and you don’t have to worry about emissions… me personally, I would live with it! 😊 Thank you for your comment!

That’s awesome! Great story there for sure! And I couldn’t agree more! For the money, it is absolutely the best van ever made! Thank you for your comment! 😊

What a complete find and great deal! I’ve owned a second generation Sienna as well! Siennas in general are the best way to go for minivans! I love these things! 😊

These are truly the hidden vehicles of the market! Where 2 grand can get you a 10 plus year plan vehicle! That’s a score! Love these siennas! 😊
