1989 Toyota Van wagon LE from North America - Comments

Since I have had it, all I have had to do is replace the alternator the rear brakes and intall a nice sound system.

It is fully customized, someone stole the television and I am looking to replace it with a DVD player.

I really love this Van. I have had two Aerostars in the past and the same thing happened to both, the transmissions.

So I decided to try my little toy van. It runs good, looks good, and I am looking forward to having it for a very long time.

The body has little rust. The interior is customized, complete with fold down seats. It is a great town car and it is great on gas.

I drive this car all over New York City everyday and it has never let me down.

I bought my van for $500.00 from a salvage yard and it is the best purchase I have made in a long time.

Yes, indeedy do, welcome to the club! There's a small, but growing number of us who realize what a special toy these 84-89 LE vans are. Mine is customized as well (a second home on wheels). As part of my job I drive newer "nicer" vehicles all day long, but when I'm done I can't wait to jump in my 87' LE with 222,000 miles on it 'cause it's more comfy & fun to drive, yahoo! Like a cowboy on his favorite horse, an unbeatable combo, zoom, zoom, & giddy-yup!!

This is my favorite vehicle I have driven nissans, chevys, fords, even a honda {althogh they too are good}.However this is the best I have driven. I have no intentions on driving anything else.

Hello, I live in Miami, Florida and I have owned a 1987 Toyota van wagon for 3 yrs now. This truck is a marvel of japanese engineering. I have used it mainly for work purposes, like deliveries, car wash and trips to Georgia, South Carolina and New York. It has over 200,000 miles on it, but starts like a baby everyday I use it to work. I took all the seats out and the rug because they were in very poor conditions, but it is better this way to work inside the van. I will have this van for hopefully a very long time. It is very useful and I take care of it very well.

Hello.

I own a 1986 Toyota Van/Wagon and I love the heck out of it! I paid $1500 for it a little over five years ago in SF and since then have driven it from California to the East Coast and back again three times and it's still going strong. Now I mainly drive it around NYC, where I live with my girlfriend (who also loves to drive it), and we often drive down to see our families in DE/NJ or drive to see friends in Georgia. The van has close to 200,000 miles on it and we are planning a drive down to Florida next month. I've had some trouble with the transmission, power steering, and other minor electrical problems, but the engine has never given me any trouble. Does anyone know of any reliable mechanics in NYC area who are good at fixing these vans? Or reliable yards to get parts?
