Frequently asked questions

Is the quoted Toyota Highlander definitely a 2026 vehicle?

Not from the sales title alone. Match the VIN, production label, factory model code and build sheet to the cited market documentation, then record any difference between build year, model year and registration year in the contract.

Which identity documents should arrive before payment?

Require clear VIN and certification-plate images, the unedited build sheet, ownership and export documents, service history, recall search, inspection report and a signed equipment schedule. Names and numbers should agree across every document.

Does the cited safety result cover every Toyota Highlander?

No. The relevant reference is IIHS 2026; ratings apply to 2020-2026 generation, and its date, tested body, powertrain and variant table control applicability. A different generation, cab, battery, seating layout or regional derivative needs separate evidence.

What must be checked for fuel or charging compatibility?

First establish whether the quoted vehicle is combustion, HEV, PHEV or BEV, because fuel, charging, mass, range, service tools and shipping documentation change with that choice. Confirm the exact fuel specification or inlet, voltage and phase support, onboard charging limits, public protocol, cold- or hot-weather behavior and the destination workshop’s ability to diagnose the quoted configuration.

How should total landed cost be compared?

Compare one written total that includes purchase, inland transport, inspection, freight, insurance, port costs, duty, tax, brokerage, storage, compliance work, registration and initial maintenance. Keep a contingency for configuration-specific parts.
