We bought this vehicle 2 years ago as a spare / around town / kid hauler, with the added benefit that it prevented my inconsiderate neighbor from parking his boat in front of our house and blocking our driveway. We've since purchased a newer Highlander, making this one unnecessary.
With 230k on the clock, it's not perfect but is in significantly better shape than 98% of the 1st Gen Highlanders on the road. Timing belt was replaced at 190k. Does need the valve cover gaskets replaced.
