100 Series Prices (4 Viewers)

It's a scam. If you notice there are few other LX and LC with super low mileage on Criagslist. I've contact them and even set up a date and time to go see it but the guy ghosted me and never replied again. I tried from a different number and he picked up the phone, and again ghosted me when I wanted to go see it. Not sure what they get out of it? Maybe looking for some clueless person to take advantage of?

The mismatched badging is a tell. Tons of scams like this on craigslist. I mostly see them with 3rd gen 4runners.

What i don't understand is why does (it seem like) every 100 series i see for sale has 230-250k miles? Is there something that happens to them at this mileage that just makes peopel throw up their hands and say, that's it ?!?

seriously, look at the classifieds and you will notice that the vast majority for sale fall in this range. I don't understand

Mine has 254,000 miles and is just broken in. It's running smoother, suspension is perfect. I keep getting unsoliticed offers lol.

I think this may have something to do with that for a normal Toyota car/truck (Camry, Highlander, Prius etc), people probably believe that 250k miles is near the end of life of the vehicle or at the point of needing major repair. They just don't know the million-mile secret of the Hundy/4.7L

other cars probably could hit a million miles if the owners cared to maintain them like 100 owners do.

It’s the love they get that keeps 100’s on the road.

Yes. That and the fact they are so over engineered.
