In places it is starting to bubble out again. rear deck lid is worst spot. I have tried to illustrate any rust / dents etc in photos. 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.

Toyota is world's top-selling automaker for second year in a row

Sun, 26 Jan 2014

Toyota is the top-selling automaker in the world. Again. Still. With total reported sales, including those from subsidiaries, of 9.98 million in 2013, Toyota's performance was enough to outpace rival General Motors by around 270,000 vehicles. That's a 2.4-percent gain over 2012, and it makes Toyota the top-seller two years in a row. Still, the gap between the top three is shrinking - Toyota held a 460,000-unit lead in 2012.
GM sold 9.71 million vehicles last year, a four-percent increase, coming in second place ahead of Volkswagen, which sold around 9.5 million. According to Bloomberg, Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda said his company managed to win the sales race while also remaining more profitable than GM or VW.
It's going to be another interesting year in 2014 as the three behemoth automakers vie for the title of World's Largest. Toyota has predicted that it will increase sales in 2014 to 10.32 million - which would make Toyota the first automaker ever to surpass 10 million global sales - though General Motors and VW are expected to again fight for the lead in the massive Chinese market. Stay tuned.

Toyota, Mazda drop Takata as Mitsubishi, Subaru weigh options

Sat, Nov 7 2015

It's not a very good time to be Takata right now. Fresh on the heels of longtime partner Honda ditching them, Toyota and Mazda have both come out and said they will not use the company's airbag inflators if they continue to rely on ammonium nitrate. Bloomberg reports that Subaru and Mitsubishi are also contemplating a divorce. "The inflator using ammonium nitrate produced by Takata will not be adopted by Toyota," President Akio Toyoda said during a briefing today. "What's most important above anything else is the safety and peace of mind of customers." Mazda echoed that position, simply saying it "will not use Takata airbag inflators which contain ammonium nitrate in our new cars." When you lose three huge OEM accounts in as many days, it's certainly going to have a deleterious effect on your fortunes. In Takata's case, that's meant a staggering 39-percent drop in their share price over the last three days. Yesterday alone, the company saw a 6.2-percent fall, Bloomberg reports. As the business publication reports, though, Takata isn't going down without a fight. The company is "considering some plans to survive," including a fundraising plan that will see it potentially offer up additional shares for sale. Still, at least one analyst doesn't see whatever company survives staying involved in the airbag inflator business. "I really don't see how they're going to be able to survive as an inflator manufacturer," Valient Market Research founder Scott Upham told Bloomberg. "When your major clients publicly come out and say that they're not going to use your products anymore, it makes this very difficult to sustain your business."

Toyota pimps out Esquire van for Japanese businessmen [w/video]

Wed, 29 Oct 2014

A few months back we reported on a dealership owner in Japan who was petitioning Toyota to make a luxury van. The problem, he reasoned, was that he couldn't take as many friends, colleagues and clients around with him in his Lexus LS, and his Toyota Alphard van wasn't luxurious enough. Well, it seems like he wasn't alone, and Toyota has listened.
The Japanese auto giant has just revealed the Esquire, a new luxury van designed with just such customers in mind. It's significantly smaller than the Sienna we get in America, smaller than the aforementioned Alphard and about the same size as (this writer's favorite) the JDM Noah van (on which we gather it's based). But what sets the Esquire apart is its upscale appearance.
The boxy van is distinguished by its dominant T-shaped chrome grille with a unique emblem that encompasses a shield, sword, "the collar of a gentleman's suit" and the letters Esq. The flank is characterized by a strong beltline with chrome lower window frame and an expansive greenhouse with tinted rear glass. Inside the flexible cabin you'll find accommodation for seven or eight passengers (depending on specification), synthetic leather upholstery and wood and metallic trim. There are even wheelchair-enabled models on offer as well.
