OPUSDEI1: I am obliged to comment on this post for two reasons: 1- I was once close to buying a vehicle from cityhood. 2- The "Highlander" has been to my workshop for assessment as the OP was referred to me by GAZZUZZ.
The Op obviously has learnt his lesson and is making his experience public for others to learn.
The vehicle in question came with a non-highlander (2MZ-FE) engine amidst so many other issues as stated by the op and will cost a fortune for proper restoration. I wish the mechanic that delivered the vehicle was here to tell us how the journey was. . Going by this info, I can tell you why the car performs poorly.
The engine advertised judging by the plastic cover is a 3.3liter 3mz engine, engine is sold for over 350k at the moment.
www.nairaland.com/attachments/3886844_img20160624102836_jpegcdb26be902a7f00c2c5cd5625ab22b34
Engine. In the bay is a 2.5liter 2mz-fe engine without a VVTI system. (Variable valve timing) this engine is sold for about 70-100k for a toks, but will not function properly because of the deference in design.
In my line of work I have seen this happen several times, and have advised buyers to stay clear. Unfortunately a few of you fall prey to this and ultimately have to replace the engine to the original spec to get the desire result. A few wires have to be returned back to factory spec too as the 2mz-fe comes with just 1 cam shaft sensor while the 3mz come with 2.
As per the transmission, a few of these highlanders come with the legendary 13pin trannys, and they are a pain in the neck when they develop faults, replacement is also very expensive and could go for over 300k for the Front wheel drive and more than 350k for the 4wheel drive tranny. In several cases the 10pin gear which is about 100k is modified and installed in place of the 13pin.
Other problems mentioned like the leaking roof and windows are easily fixable, but full disclosure would have enabled the buyer make an informed decision.
Moral of the story before you buy it, get someone to look at it.
I would expect Mr cityhood to address compensation for the OP so we can put this behind us and move on.

Autos › Re: I Need A Car Urgently by GAZZUZZ(m): 8:41pm On Dec 25, 2016 |
semochendo1: My Oga, your assumptions as far as cars selling prices are concerned are always wrong. When I put up this post, your comment was discouraging, and to God be the Glory, I got the car and I've been enjoying it now for the past 2 months, even my younger bro who bought a clean toks started battling with overheating a week after he bought the car.
Simply put, nothing is impossible, when anyone put up a post offering a price, no matter how ridiculous or impossible it looks, tell them its possible by luck. Remember, law of attraction plays a major role. you bought a 03/04 corrola at less than 700k? If yes it was a gift. Anything els I still stand by my earlier comments.
Enjoy your car. |

P1166:Air / Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor (Sensor 1) Heater System Electrical Problem A/F sensor heater,or Heated Oxgen Sensor Sensor1 (Primary HO2S) Heater Circuit Malfunction (HO2S)
P1167: Air / Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor (Sensor 1) Heater System Malfunction A/F sensor heater,or Heated Oxygen Sensor Sensor1 (Primary LAF HO2S) Heater System Malfunction A/F sensor heater
P0141: O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 2

You clearly have an O2 sensor issue and a transmission issue.

douchesnozzle: Please I need help with my Honda accord fuel gauage. The gauage is stuck on empty even when I have a full thank. Took the car to the car electrician, after much testing he said I had to get a gauage cluster as the sender unit and other wiring are correct. I bought a new guage cluster from onitsha but was surprised that it didn't work. When connected to my car, the dashboard lights, speedometer and other meters worked but d fuel guage was still stuck on empty. My electrician said the cluster I bought wasn't for my car. He showed me the numbers on mine and the one I bought the difference was just in alphabet. Mine had AF before alphabet but one I bought had a different alphabet which I can't recall. He also said mine was a 2013 while I bought a 2014, but my car is a 2003 model
Please gurus in d house kindly advise, is it possible that a car of d same yr model would have certain different electrical components? Also if it was different like d electrician stated, how come other meters on the car worked except the fuel guage. Please I need ur thoughts so I don't spend more money returning something that isn't faulty cos am already suspecting that I didn't need a new cluster in the first place. Cc Gazuz, luvinghubby quite confusing. Do an actuation test using a high end diagnostic equipment, to test the individual guages on the cluster. In my experience with that model, it gets stuck some times and need s a manual budge and every thing goes back to normal. |
