Used Toyota Highlander Hybrid for Sale in Chandler, AZ

Just returned home from Camelback Toyota in Phoenix with another purchase, this time a used car. The car wasn't my first choice, nor my 3rd. but since it was for a college daughter to use far away from home, her wants & desires were also important. And, it turns out, I am very happy with the result. To be clear, I don't like salesmen. But I trust John DeArmond and really feel that he, and the dealership, puts my interests first. Obviously there is a bottom line. Yet, I also feel like I got a pretty good deal. This is the second vehicle we purchased from him and Camelback Toyota. The first was a new car 5 years ago. Which @ 80,000 miles now has still had NO problems and still drives like a dream. Not only was the sale an excellent experience, but the AFTER sale experience has been outstanding. John has kept in touch, literally for years, genuinely concerned that our experience was continuing to be nothing but the best. He's always been available for questions and advice regarding our purchase and other car related information. For basic tune-up stuff we have a nearby shop we like to go to. But I when we have a dealer specific thing to be done to our car, such as the 50,000 or 75,000 check, we go to the dealer. This dealer. We always feel helped and never used. So when we decided to replace the 20 year old car our girl was driving, he was the first thought of where to turn. Oh, we checked out Cars.com and the rental car companies, but our first choice was to call John. And I'm glad we did. The car buying experience can be frustrating. I've purchase at least 20 cars in my lifetime, both new and used, and really love just how painless and easy these guys make the process. Truly no pressure. Yes, they are a business, and so yes, they want you to buy a car, preferably from them. But, it's really about choices. MY choices. MY preferences, and what they can do to HELP me in fulfilling them. We gave John our parameters a couple of weeks ago and he came up with several choices that day. Spent several hours with him last week going through and driving different cars before finally deciding on a choice vehicle. We put a hold on it and when our college girl was home on spring break a last Sunday, we had her try them out. But, LOL, it turned out she liked something completely different. However, it was no problem for these guys, probably used to people changing their minds. Did I spend more than if I'd bought from an individual? Well... yes and no. Yes I paid at or below the "blue book" price. But I am also sure, and comfortable in the knowledge that this vehicle doesn't have any major problems. Nor is it likely to have any "minor" ones any time soon. And.. paying slightly more than the "suggested retail price" we were able to include an extended warranty that will take care of any problems for several years to come. Did they make a profit. Sure. But I definitely also got a deal. I'm happy, spouse is happy, child's happy. So, I've got another happy car purchase, and will be calling him again, probably in another 5 years. Because, and this is important, they're not in this business for just one sale, they're in it for the long run.

This car very comfortable and very economic. I love 3 Rows seating because I have big family. I know Toyota is safety and reliable. I recommend Highlander to my friends.

Had to tow my 2007 Subaru Legacy car in for an extensive repair. Never met the Service writer before. I had the AutoNation extended warranty so he had to coordinate the repair approval process with them. He called me when my car arrived (2 days prior to my scheduled appointment). He worked on my car ahead of my appointment (1 day early). They fixed it and was able to get the car back early. Was extremely knowledgeable and professional when we came to get the car. Would absolutely recommend AutoNation Subrau with no doubt they are competent, caring, go the extra mile Service Dept team!

It exceeds in performance and life long value compared to most other brands. I’ve had Toyota hybrids now since 2005. I think the Highlander hybrid is great for in city driving, mountain climbing in all weather situations, and im getting the average of 31 mpg for this weight as I’m driving from Cottonwood to Sedona to Phoenix and Prescott. I’ve even had a bit of MN winter weather and it plows right through icey roads and snow easily. This is the true adventure vehicle!!!

I very highly recommend Mark Berkheimer and the service department at Earnhardt Toyota for any repairs or maintenance needs. It’s great when you do business with someone that deals from the top of the deck. No surprises while keeping you informed of every option available. It took me awhile to find someone that I can trust but happy that we did.

Nice styling and easy to drive has all the bells and whistles. Good and gas and comfortable. I have worked in the auto industry for 50 years and Toyota is the best car company.

CarMax is much smoother than any other car buying experience you will ever find. Their salesman Matthew Johnson is a great guy. He was very patient and helped me find the perfect car after I spent months researching. He really knew what he was doing and gave me a wonderful experience. I would recommend CarMax to anyone!

My purchasing criteria were: easy access in-&-out, comfortable to drive and ride in (especially for anticipated long trips), fuel economy, overall reliability (no, Exterior Styling was NOT a priority!). My Highlander-Hybrid continues to meet my expectations!

I bought my 2017 Ram 1500 on 3/31/2017... Sam DelBrocco was the most outstanding sales professional I ever came across. He was very kind and willing to help. I will never buy any vehicle from another salesperson... Brian Kelsven, was extremely well knowledgeable of all the electronics, all kinds of "bells and whistles", and did a phenomenal delivery of the truck to me. My Entire Experience was Awesome!!!, From my salesman "Sam DelBrocco" to the sales manager Rick Lipowski, to my Finance Officer "Steven" to Brian Kelsven - who explained me all the functions of the truck, to Pam the receptionist, all the way to the Owner - Don Luke -, whom I met in person and we chat for a while.... They all were an amazing team... Congrats to them.. Thank you all, _Milty M

Nicely styled inside and out; the baseball mit leather interior is Lexus quality. Better in the snow than the previous iteration. We owned a 2013 Limited that was less capable in the Vermont weather. Gas mileage is spot on with Manufacturer specs. 2016 RAV4 Limited Hybrid more fun to drive (and came equipped with LED headlights), but can’t beat the room and comfortable suspension of the Highlander. Best in class.

VERY FRIENDLY AND RESPECTFUL.EVERYONE TREATED MY WIFE AND MYSELF LIKE WE WERE REPEAT CUSTOMERS AND THIS WAS OUR FIRST TIME THERE. MADE OR CAR BUYING EXPERIENCE EASY AND SMOOTH ALL THE WAY THROUGH. PAUL,JASON,AND BUCKY WERE GREAT TO WORK WITH. THANKYOU.

Ecellent. No regret. Except Toyota Entune is suck I preger Apple car play. Comfort an quiet. Great style Reliabile and save gas. I can keep this car for many years

The advisor listens with respect and is highly competent. (Shane). They are thorough in all inspections and safety is a priority. I will continue to bring my car here.

I've owned the 2017 Highlander Hybrid for a year and have driven it 40,000 miles. While it's a very comfortable and remarkably efficient SUV, I don't believe its high price tag is justified. First, the good: - Obviously, as a hybrid vehicle, the Highlander gets phenomenal MPG for a 5,000 pound SUV. On average I get roughly 31 mpg in 50/50 city/highway driving. But, when I try to maximize fuel economy (by driving slowly in "Eco Mode" without the A/C on), I can get reach an incredible 35 mpg. - The vehicle is exceptionally comfortable for both driver and passengers. The seats provide a good balance of support and cushion. I opted for the heated and cooled front seats. The cooling system pumps conditioned air through the seat vents, which is a nice benefit during the summer. The heated seats do not work well though...even at the highest setting, I can barely feel any heat. - The battery/engine combo provides quick acceleration. However, there is a noticeable engine lag in pedal response...in other words, when you kick down the accelerator pedal, it takes a second or two before the engine responds. - Toyota apparently put some effort into sound insulation for the Highlander...it's Lexus-like quiet. - This SUV is loaded with automatic stability control features. I've driven it several times in the snow, and even when I purposefully try to fishtail or induce a skid, the system instantly kicks in and stabilizes the vehicle. OK, now the not-so-good: - If you drive the car conservatively and casually, the Highlander is a stable and safe vehicle. However, if you attempt any sort of spirited driving, it generally handles the road like a 1986 Yugo with an elephant tied to the roof. The electric steering provides no feel for the road, the SUV will slop around corners with significant roll, and the front-wheel drive induces severe oversteering if you accelerate aggressively through a corner (in other words, if you step on the gas through a corner, the car will yank hard to the inside). At highway speeds, the brakes are spongy and inconsistent (a typical characteristic of regenerative braking systems). The added weight of the hybrid system (batteries + electric motors) clearly puts a strain on the handling traits of the vehicle. I test drove a non-hybrid highlander, and it handled noticeably better. - The all-wheel drive system is very limited in its effectiveness. The rear wheels are driven by an independent 68 horsepower electric motor which only kicks in when the front wheels begin to slip, and quickly disengages after the front wheels regain traction. In other words, this is essentially a front-wheel drive car most of the time. - For an SUV which costs almost $50,000, the overall quality of the interior is kinda cheap and unrefined. The interior looks and feels almost exactly like a Corolla, when it should more closely resemble a Lexus. Some minor things to mention: - The navigation system, while reliable, is outdated (it's the same system I had in my 2008 4 Runner). - LED headlights are not available. Not a big deal, but you'd think a hybrid would offer LED lights. - As is the case with all CVT transmissions, when you accelerate aggressively, the engine revs like it's about to explode. In sum, the Highlander Hybrid is a phenomenally efficient and comfortable SUV. If you're looking for a safe and reliable family car, and don't care about sporty performance, you'll enjoy this car. But, for the price, you can find more refined SUVs.
