1991 Toyota Previa Reviews, Pricing & Specs

We bought this van from relatives ten years ago and it's going on 21 years old and we've had minimal repairs. Just made 350,000 this week! The muffler needed replacing a few times and the water pump once and timing belt at about 150,000, but that's it apart from regular maintenance for tires, brakes, etc. This van is awesome for towing (3500 lbs) and fits everything from plywood sheets to lots of luggage to dressers--also room for dogs in it's cargo area--seats all fold down for to make a bed base (i.e., for camping), very back seats fold up for more cargo room. We keep the middle couch seat folded back for our dog who loves to lay her head on the window ledge with her nose planted where the window opens at the back. Also, one of few cars that fits my husbands 6'3" height. A recent gasket leak means taking out engine for $2,000+ repair, so we may have to trade it in soon...In the mean time, it still runs ok apart from having to add coolant often with a stinky exhaust at start up in a.m. Still a fantastic vehicle, comfortable seats good for long trips. Highly recommend this van! Only make them in Europe now, so our replacement will probably be a Sienna...My husband said he still might keep this one and use it for storing his tools--seems he can't let go yet! :)Jun 14, 2012
