This is my daily driver 1992 Toyota Previa with over 331,000 miles as of this posting which will go up as I continue to drive "Blue" on a daily basis.
I'm getting about 22 miles per gallon with Blue, aybe a little more on the highway.
Power locks, indows, irrors, ruise controlall work as they should.
JVC Detachable Face CD Stereo with Remote Control
Seating for 7-8 (Interior is very nice for it's age. Non smoker ownedvehicle)
I bought brand new tires for Blue back in 2013 right before heading to South Dakota.
Yes, n the past few years, 've driven Blue to South Dakota, eorgia and Florida without a single problem.
I bought Blue back in 2011 with 316,000 miles from a Toyota Mechanic who, etween the years 2009 and 2010 replaced the following parts:
1. Radiator and hoses
2. Water Pump
3. Front Suspension Parts
4. Timing Belt & Pulleys
5. Brakes & Rotors
6. I believe also the fuel pump, ot 100% sure about this, ut I do seem to recall him saying that too.
There were several more things that I no longer remember, ut I bought Blue in the first place because of all the work that had been done to him in the 2 years prior.
This van always starts up on the first try, ven after sitting for a week or 2. It has all the usual rust areas that you would expect from a Previa minivan living in the Chicago area.
Some of the issues that you may or may not want to do something about:
1. The driver's side rear view mirror is loose and can be secured with a couple of screws
2. The exhaust pipe needs to be welded. It's loud, ut not that loud andI've been driving it like this since 2013 and have never been pulled over for a loud muffler.
3. The heater and a/c work, ut the fan switch is disconnected from the lever, o you CAN'T turn on the blower motor, ut that can be fixed by any do-it-yourselfer with a little time and patience. The heat still flows through the system when the van is moving, o it does DEFROST the window and heat up the van nicely.
4. The rear door only opens from the inside.
5. The passenger and sliding door locks are not working with the key, ut they can be unlocked from the inside, nd they both open fine.
6. The driver's side door is impacting the front quarter panel, o I just go in through the passenger door after unlocking it from the driver's side. This can be fixed if you have the know how.
7.The power steering belt snapped a few weeks ago and now it has manual steering.
8. Rust
9. No front grill
10. Missing the frontcover for theceiling air handler.
11.Needs new wiperblades front and back
12. Make sure you warm up Blue properly before driving away, ecause he's a little temper-mental before his morning cup of coffee.
Again, lue always starts right up for me and has never left me stranded. That's what love will do for you and Blue. :)
Overall, or the price, ot a bad deal. You should be able to get several more years of reliable service out of Blue. The tires alone cost $400 2 years ago and have less than 3,000 miles on them.
Thanks for looking. :)
PS I will have pictures of the van uploaded this evening. The current picture of the van was taken when I first bought it and there is rust around the wheel wells now. The tires you see in the picture are also for sale ($450). They are off my 2013 Jeep Wrangler and were used for less than 2 months. Less than 2,000 miles on the entire package. 5X127 bolt pattern, 25/75R16 Goodyear Wrangler ST tires.
