I'd look elsewhere, 88K is a lot of miles for a couple year old ride. They have all the oil changes and maintenance documented on it?

The service writers know the previous owners. They came in and traded for a brand new trail edition. They must have liked the one they had. I took it home for the night. It seems like a really solid ride. Other than the OD saying 88000 the thing is tits. |

After seeing newer model tacomas and some fj cruisers with 300-500k miles on them, I'd have no problem trusting one in that mileage range as long as it's well taken care of.

just don't drive it until 2019 then the mileage won't be all that high

I'd rather get a used vehicle with highway mileage than one with that many city miles. So long as you have the maintenance records I'd go for it if the price makes sense based on KBB/NADA/Craigslist or local sales on similar models for your area.

Mileage isn't an issue on these, especially HWY miles, so 88K isn't really high. I've seen this motor go over 300K with the proper care. The only thing that seems a little high to me is the price. They certainly can handle the mileage, but I would prefer one with 50K or less for the asking price. In any case, I know there probably aren't a ton of these available in your area, so if this one checks out good and has meticulous maintenance records then you should be fine if you pull the trigger. Just one final piece of advice...please take your time and check it carefully...if something doesn't seem right you can always walk away.

90k highway miles is nothing, but the price seems a bit high. What new tires? The OEM tires are garbage. My 2011 TE will hit 100K miles this week, with lots of hard off road use, rock crawling, carrying an extra 1000lbs of armor and gear, 33" mud tires. It's still mechanically perfect.

I was hoping you would chime in. My price on it is $500 more than what the dealership has into it. They must have gave the people who traded it in on a 2015 trail premium trade in. Also 26200 isn't set in stone. The owner just ball parked it based on what PDI and whatever it needs might cost. The only thing I think it needs is a windshield. Has a couple small chips in it. EDIT I have to check which tires they put on it. I'm guessing they put the tires of the 2015 trail that the guy traded in for. He wanted the snow tires he had on this one so I think they just swapped them. |

I have an FJ Cruiser with 124,000 miles on it. The thing sounds and runs no different than it did when it was new. I am under the impression they are the same vehicle except for the body. The engine is rock solid and I wouldn't hesitate to get another one with high mileage.

IIRC, you can get it about $100 less, without the windshield wiper heaters, but I love those things. Imagine they would be handy in South Dakota, too.
