1989 Toyota Van LE review from North America
"Truly one of Toyota's best ever made"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
All after 200k: radiator, new.
Master window power lock switch, new.
Heater blower, new.
Water pump, new.
Complete rear end rebuild.
Driver's seat belt, new.
Slider door handle, new.
General comments?
Purchased by employer as my service van 1995.
Has never left me or $30.000 in spare parts stranded.
Unstoppable 4X4 with chains in any snow (plows thru).
Uses nor leaks any oil.
Transmission shifts like new, never been opened.
Gets 21-23 MPG.
Always has been a joy to drive, and not too bad to service.
