The Toyota Highlander is the best-selling vehicle of its type, a midsize sport-utility based on a car. It promises top-notch quality, durability and reliability. But it's also a practical and easy mannered SUV.
The Highlander is available in base or Limited trim, each with front-wheel drive or full-time all-wheel drive. A choice of three powertrains is now available: A 2.4-liter inline-4, rated at 160 horsepower, comes standard. A 3.3-liter V6 that produces 230 horsepower is optional on the base Highlander and standard on the Limited. And a Hybrid version is new for 2006. Safety features start with front seatbelt pretensioners and force limiters. The driver and passenger front airbags inflate according to collision severity and front-seat passenger weight category. Optional side-impact airbags are mounted in the front seats and side curtain airbags are designed to protect the heads of first- and second-row passengers. A new low-tire-pressure warning system is also standard.
For 2006, the Toyota Highlander is available with hybrid technology.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2006 Toyota Highlander, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2006 Toyota Highlander for less money than when it was new. If the 2006 Toyota Highlander was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2006 Toyota Highlander is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2006 Toyota Highlander will have a excellent resale value. This assumes that the 2006 Toyota Highlander is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
