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.

1967 Toyota 2000GT most expensive Asian car ever sold at $1.2M

Fri, 10 May 2013

Toyota's agelessly beautiful 2000GT has been sold by RM Auctions for $1.16 million, making it the new record holder for the most expensive Asian car ever sold. As always, rarity played a big factory in driving up the price; just 351 2000GT models were built, and only 62 left-hand-drive cars (like this one). The classic Toyota, standout member of Texas car-collector Don Davies' paddock, was originally a US-delivery car that spent time in a collection back in a Japan before returning to Texas just a short time ago. The car last sold in March of 2011, for just $650,000.
Enthusiasts will recognize the 2000GT as perhaps the most heralded Japanese classic of all time. The Toyota was a contemporary of the Jaguar E-Type - though one that obviously sold in a fraction of the English car's numbers - that was well reviewed by the motoring press of the day. Sometimes referred to as Japan's first supercar, the 2000GT boasted a 150-horsepower, dual overhead cam, 2.0-liter straight-six engine; a five-speed manual transmission; and a reported top speed of over 135 miles per hour.
RM described this record-setting example as, "the finest and most authentic 2000GT to come to market in recent years," equating it with blue chip classic exotics like the Ferrari Daytona and Lamborghini Miura.

Toyota recalls 337,000 RAV4s and HS250h models for tie rod failure

Thu, Sep 1 2016

UPDATE: The post has been updated with additional information from NHTSA. The Basics: Toyota is recalling 337,000 2006-2011 model year Toyota RAV4 crossovers built between October 31, 2005 and September 7, 2010 as well as 2010 model year Lexus HS250h cars built between July 6, 2009 and August 26, 2010. The Problem: When either an affected RAV4 or HS250h is given an alignment and the tie rod adjustment nut on the rear control arm isn't tightened properly, the threads on the tie rod can start to rust. If this happens, the nut may break off and throw off the alignment drastically and suddenly. This isn't a case of the car simply pulling to one side, either. This would seriously upset the balance of the car and could cause the driver to lose control and crash. This is also the third time these vehicles have been recalled for the same issue. Injuries/Deaths: It's unknown if this control arm issue has resulted in any injuries or deaths. Autoblog reached out to Toyota for more information, but a company representative told us that the company isn't able to discuss injuries or deaths caused by this issue (if any) at this time. Based on information from NHTSA documents, it does not appear that any crashes, injuries or deaths have been attributed to the defect addressed in the current recall. The Fix: The dealer will completely replace the rear suspension assemblies at no cost to the owner. The tie rods and nuts will also be coated in epoxy to prevent future rusting from occurring. According to Car and Driver, the previous recalls involved tightening nuts, coating decent tie rods in epoxy and completely replacing rusted ones. The car magazine reports that further complaints were filed and the company is now replacing all components regardless of condition. If you own one: Toyota will notify owners of affected cars by mail. Owners can also check whether their cars are affected by entering the VIN at safercar.gov/vin. Owners with questions can also reach Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 or Lexus customer service at 1-800-255-3987.

Toyota GT86 CS-R3 ready to rally

Mon, Jan 26 2015

Toyota is returning to the rally scene with the competition-spec version of the GT86. First announced over a year ago, the GT86 CS-R3 began testing this past summer, and is now just about ready for customer deliveries. Instead of contesting the top tier of the World Rally Championship, the GT86 CS-R3 was designed to compete in the R3 class. It's closely based on the road-going model (better known around these parts as the Scion FR-S), and retains its 2.0-liter boxer four, sending 238 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque through a Drenth six-speed sequential gearbox and limited slip differential to the rear wheels. Available in either tarmac or gravel specification, the GT86 CS-R3 comes complete with "body shell, powertrain and all mechanical components required to build the car." It's set to undergo final FIA certification in July, at which point it'll be ready to deliver to privateer rally teams to field in national and international rallies and in the HJS TMG CS-R3 Trophy that kicks off in Germany on July 4. The package sells for ˆ84,000 ($94k at today's rates) before taxes, but customers who place their orders before April 24 will get a ˆ5k discount. Related Video: 23 Jan 2015 GT86 CS-R3 NEARS COMPETITIVE DEBUT TOYOTA Motorsport GmbH is pleased to confirm the final details of the rear-wheel-drive GT86 CS-R3 rally car, which will make its competitive debut this year. Cologne, Germany - The CS-R3 prototype was launched last August and since then has completed an extensive test programme to optimise design and define the final specification of the kit which will be delivered to private competitors and teams. Detailed development has generated improved performance on both gravel and tarmac, while reliability and durability have been prioritised in order to deliver a car which allows cost-effective competition throughout the season and beyond. The CS-R3 has already proved immensely popular thanks to its rear-wheel drive powertrain, with 1,998cc, 238hp boxer engine and six-speed sequential transmission which combine to produce a spectacular driving experience. The first cars will be delivered to customers in May, later than originally forecast to allow improvements highlighted during testing to be implemented. As a consequence TMG has extended its introductory discount.
