Please look over phots very carefully and feel free to request additional photos if you see something you want a closer look at. Ask any questions BEFORE bidding."

I bought this van on ebay about 5 years ago down in Mass. I purposefully searched for the rear wheel drive Previa so that I would get good mileage. On one trip to Florida I got 33mpg! New Alternator when I bought the van. PO did a lot of work on front end prior to sale. I replaced all 4 rotors & pads & struts $$$$. It had sat in a field for 2 years before I bought it!  I used this van primarily as tool storage while I refit my sailboat. It made 2 trips to Florida & back and one trip to Syracuse for the State Fair. I think my total mileage for the 5 years is around 5 - 8,000 miles.
I changed the fluids to Amsoil and Amsoil oil filter when first got it. Last oil change was last year.  Vehicle burns no oil runs like a top. Van has been sitting all winter. Some rust on rotors will free up completely w/ driving. Please note in pictures that the wheels are not stock. I have the original alloys & all 4 caps with 2 Michelin & 2 Esteem tires mounted. Those tires had some weather checking on them and I had to do a run to Florida. I wasn't comfortable to drive them at sustained highway speeds so I mounted these other tires/wheels. They go with the van if buy it now is reached. Otherwise it is your responsibility to change back to original whells/tires and leave the other 4.  Please see photos for tire tread. It's been a great little van, but I no longer need it. The boat project is complete and in Florida. These vans are mid engine and are legendary for running forever. The wiper blade inserts need to be replaced. I bought 2, but lost one of them. So it's up to you to get 1 more replacement. The Toyota dealer down on Central Ave was extremely helpful and the most reasonable price of all the dealerships within 100 miles. One more thing - the door handle to the slider needs to be replaced.
Someone is going to get a nice Previa that has had all the suspension /brake work done, and it should run a long long time with reasonable care. 
I highly recommend the use of Amsoil products. Several of my daily drivers got close to 400k over the years thanks to Amsoil lubricants.   Contact me if you want to see it in person.  Good luck bidding and please review all pics ask all questions before bidding

I just discovered another defect that I wasn't aware of. While taking the photos I discovered the rear moon roof had developed a couple of cracks over the winter. (Snow load)? At least it doesn't leak at all.  I would definitely know if it leaks because of the monsoon rains we've had in the Adks this summer. The interior is dry as a bone. Please see recent photo addition to view cracks. With these photos I took today I was trying to show tread condition on all tires and the worst rust spots so that no one will be surprised. Thank you for viewing my van and bid with confidence.

Everybody's doing flying cars, so why aren't we soaring over traffic already?

Mon, Oct 1 2018

"Where's my flying car?" has been the meme for impending technology that never materializes since before there were memes. And the trough of disillusionment for vehicles that can take to sky continues to nosedive, despite a nonstop fascination with flying cars and a recent rash of announcements about the technology, particularly from traditional automakers. Earlier this month, Toyota applied for an eye-popping patent for a flying car that has wheels with spring-loaded pop-out helicopter rotors. The patent filing says the wheels/rotors would be electrically powered, while in on-land mode the vehicle would have differential steering like tracked vehicles such as tanks and bulldozers. At an airshow in July, Aston Martin unveiled its Volante Vision Concept, an autonomous hybrid-electric vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) vehicle it developed with Rolls-Royce. Aston says the Volante can fly at top speeds of around 200 mph and bills it as a luxury car for the skies. Audi used the Geneva Motor Show in March to unveil a flying car concept called the Pop.Up Next it developed with Airbus and Italdesign. If the Pop.Up Next, an electric and autonomous quadcopter/city car combo, gets stuck in traffic, an app can be used to summon an Airbus-developed drone to pick up the passenger compartment pod, leaving the chassis behind. Audi said that the Pop.Up Next is a "flexible on-demand concept that could open up mobility in the third dimension to people in cities." But Audi also acknowledged that at this point it has no plans to develop it. The cash-stoked, skies-the-limit Silicon Valley tech crowd is also bullish on flying cars. The startup Kitty Hawk that's backed by Google co-founder Larry Page announced in June that it's taking pre-orders for its single-seat electric Flyer that's powered by 10 propellers and is capable of vertical takeoffs and landings. The current version can only fly up to 20 mph and 10 feet in the air and has a flight time of just 12 to 20 minutes on a full charge. The Flyer is considered a recreational vehicle, so doesn't require a pilot's license. Uber says it plans to launch its more ambitious Elevate program and UberAIR service in 2023. "Uber customers will be able to push a button and get a flight on-demand with uberAIR in Dallas, Los Angeles and a third international market," Uber Elevate promises on its website.

2014 Toyota Tundra to debut at Chicago Auto Show

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The fullsize pickup market is dominated by trucks from Ford, General Motors and Ram, but this segment could get some hefty competition in coming years. We've already reported that Nissan is planning a redesign of its Titan truck for 2015, and now Toyota has announced that it will be revealing the 2014 Tundra next month at the Chicago Auto Show.
In the brief press release posted below, Toyota says that the 2014 Tundra will be "redesigned," but it's unclear as to whether this means we'll be seeing an all-new truck or just an extensive refresh. The current Tundra design has been around since 2007 and sales are hardly worrisome to the Big Three, so a new design would be a logical guess.
In any case, we only have to wait a couple more weeks for the new Tundra to debut on February 7, and we'll be on hand to bring you plenty of live coverage from the show.

Asian automakers still reluctant to use more aluminum

Tue, Jun 24 2014

There's a logical progression of technology in the auto industry. We've seen it with things like carbon-ceramic brakes, which use to be the sole domain of six-figure sports cars, where they often cost as much as an entry level Toyota Corolla. Now, you can get them on a BMW M3 (they're still pricey, at $8,150). Who knows, maybe in the next four a five years, they'll be available on something like a muscle car or hot hatchback. Aluminum has had a similar progression, although it's further along, moving from the realm of Audi and Jaguar luxury sedans to Ford's most important product, the F-150. With the stuff set to arrive in such a big way on the market, we should logically expect an all-aluminum Toyota Camry or Honda Accord soon, right? Um, wrong. Reuters has a great report on what's keeping Asian manufacturers away from aluminum, and it demonstrates yet another stark philosophical difference between automakers in the east and those in the west. Of course, there's a pricing argument at play. But it's more than just the cost of aluminum sheet (shown above) versus steel. Manufacturing an aluminum car requires extensive retooling of existing factories, not to mention new relationships with suppliers and other logistical and financial nightmares. Factor that in with what Reuters calls Asian automaker's preference towards "evolutionary upgrades," and the case for an all-aluminum Accord is a difficult one. Instead, manufacturers in the east are focusing on developing even stronger steel as a means of trimming fat, although analysts question how long that practice can continue. Jeff Wang, the automotive sales director for aluminum supplier Novelis, predicts that we'll see a bump in aluminum usage from Japanese and Korean brands in the next two to three years, and that it will be driven by an influx of aluminum-based vehicles from western automakers into China. Only time will tell if he's proven right. News Source: ReutersImage Credit: Sean Gallup / Getty Images Plants/Manufacturing Honda Hyundai Mazda Nissan Toyota Technology aluminum
