theft 07 Highlander will I regret this?

[BABYTOYODA]

I bought a 2007 Highlander limited 3.3 AWD .... it was a theft car... photos did not show ignition area or if the Cats are still under the car... triangle window on rear passenger door is broken. I did a carfax a year and a half ago mileage was only 62k... the negative battery terminal is off the battery... my plan is hopefully to hook up the battery.... bring a gas can and put 5 gallons in... shove a flathead screwdriver into the ignition, get a jump and drive away.... think that will work? any advice.... Im nervous and excited as well.... almost feel like Im cheating on my 2002 SR5 4runner.

Auction deal? How cheap? No key comes with? By that year I'd think a Highlander must have a transponder so wouldn't count on getting it with a screwdriver or even hotwiring

expensive $7400 including the fees which were stupidly like a grand

Seems like it could be a decent deal. Find out if the cats are still on it?

the Highlander was just missing the key .... IAAI made me a key and gave me a jump .... I put 4 gallons of gas in it and drove it home .... a bit smelly and a syringe in drivers door lol even though not labeled biohazard.... I got the oil changed.... put new tires on it.... replaced the broken window and now am cleaning it.... get it inspected on the 7th.... it has 69k on it and my wife says we are keeping it lol
