250,000 still great

Ordered a new limited in 2005. We still have it. It has been a great car and still in great condition with 250,000 miles. Looking to buy a new one and keep the 2006.

Highlander Hybrped

I bought this car 2006, Highlander Hybrid used, maybe 7 years ago. It has been faultless in it performance and currently has 98,926 miles which is low, I believe. Still very happy with my Highlander. I do find that it will take on rain water, a bit, if I park it with front sloping downward in my drive though. So I try to reverse it if I’m expecting rain.
