Re: 531 mile highlander

I'd be a little Leary about 531 miles. The dash bezel has a lot of wear, especially at the light switch. Column rubber sleeve retainer looks well beat up too.
No engine pics, undercarriage. Nice looking truck, but I'd be suspicious.

Bingo
The first thing I look at is the bezel...always a give away and that one has seen some miles, use and occasional cleaning (hence the 'chrome' wear). I also agree on Panelman's other points as well.

Now...take the low mileage marketing angle off the table (because it is very, very unlikely)...and that is a really nice truck.
Looks well positioned to be in the $12-$15k zone in that condition.

My two bits.

Re: 531 mile highlander

I looked at the truck last Thursday. The documentation is badly water damaged ,as is the truck bed. The owner stored the truck outside under a tarp. Not an ideal way to preserve what is most certainly as advertised. There is a rust hole in the passenger door and the cab smells as musty as is possible. Only drive with the windows down musty. The green highlander seat looks brand new. I'm new to site, trying to post photos.. The under coating looks like it was put on yesterday. There are holes in the wooden bed from water damage.
