Waw ! the true Unicorn! I still have mine, but honestly it's collecting dust at the moment... Plans were to sell it at some point, BUT from the wife's mouth : " we should actually keep it." :p:D (she was an advocate that it needed to go once the 6th gen arrived) It's in great shape in and out...
It won't get you very far and there is no straight answer on how long it will run the A/C compressor on since it depends how full the battery is and temp. factors. It's also hard to get it to be fully charged and once it's about 3 bars (out of 8 ) full it will kick in the engine always it seems...
Similar comfort here too. I was DDing a 99' 3rd gen manual for 7 years and was ready for an upgrade (comfort). Did not wan to wait any longer..... 6th gen Hybrid rides super good and the drivetrain is a mazing. With Taco and LC already out being built in two parts of the globe, I figured...
The reverse brake squeal is so moody! It's present 4 out of 5 reverses and not always at the same pitch...
I really think it's outside temperature/ moisture at this point. 🤪🤪
It's just as bad as my 3rd gen is. Subaru is a bit better. Might be a Toyota truck thing. $40k - $70k across the board.... Might need to go Lexus for better seal?
At least those seals will last 25-30 + years if they kept the same manufacturing process.
Good they sent you that. Technically ~4k off is not that bad. The LED cargo lights are welcome, everything else yes, not really needed, but it is what it is.
You might be able to squeeze another grand off the price if no one else is as interested as you are and play the game with them.
Like...
Yes, it has a V6 according to them. Just kidding.
It would be worth knowing what options an PIO it has to determine price as new.
Most likely someone traded it in for a GX : Much nicer rig "luxury" ride than 4R when money is not an issue.
Fantastic update on mpg!
OP you could share on the mpg hybrid thread for other's interested in the matter to see:

Nice Car!!! Great work from those guys/gals!
I was gonna do a DIY like "fluid film " since I plan on keeping this thing indefinitely(FOREVER), but since I currently live in TX it went past me.... now the undercarriage is quite messy.
But yes as OP said : Dry ice blasting will clean that up for...
