    On my way now to look at a 2008 limited with 63k on it. I know to look for rust and timing belt. Any other areas that I should look out for?
    Btw the asking price $15,900 is this a good price?

    That sucks. Good luck in finding one. By the way, only the V8 uses a timing belt. Check for rust like you said and check what fluids you can and any maintenance history. Otherwise they are pretty bulletproof,

    All so be very wary of low miliage Toyota's. It is very common for the mileage to get rolled back. Check the Toyota web site using the vin to see what has been done on it by Toyota, they record the miles every time it comes in. Run a car fax and compare miles reported ect. Many people have been burned by this, 63k over 12 years is very low. thats only 5k miles a year.
