1991 Toyota Previa LE review from North America
"The Previa is the King of Hill when it comes to vans"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear axle seal at 320,000 KM.
Alternator at 280,000 KM.
Radio at 220,000 KM.
General comments?
No matter how much neglect this vehicle gets, it just does not want to break down. The Previa received a fresh set of spark plugs at 260,000 KM. I drove for a month on only 3 cylinders prior. I'll go 20,000 KM before an oil change.
Other than general maintenance expenses, this has been the best vehicle I have ever owned. Typically I never have owned a vehicle for more than 3 years. The Previa was the first foreign car I purchased.
I've had this vehicle for 12 years now and my goal is to get a half million KMs on it before I buy my next Toyota.
