Buying the 2004 Toyota Highlander
No 2004 Toyota Highlander is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. Before you buy the 2004 Toyota Highlander, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 286 complaints with NHTSA, most often about power train, vehicle speed control and steering; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
What the figures tell you
The 2.4L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
It is rated 10.7 L/100 km combined: about 32 litres every 300 km. Every 100 km costs about $16.59 in fuel at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
What to expect from the Highlander
Being an SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.
Try before you buy
A test week in the Highlander tells you more than any review. Rent the Highlander for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. Drive the Highlander on your commute before you commit to it.
Choosing the right one
Within the 2004 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,050 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $16.59 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $165.90 at our price setting.
Make a request
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2004 Toyota Highlander from us first.

Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2004 Toyota Highlander for you and reply within one business day.
