1987 Toyota Van review from North America
"Rough ride, but reliable and cheap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Powersteering leaked and I had to get that replaced.
All the warning lights are on in the dash, but nothing appears to be wrong with the oil, radiator, emergency brake.
General comments?
Overall a great 2 person vehicle for camping, long trips, and lots of gear. Suspension is rough due to the seat being over the engine. Very reliable overall, the body will rust before the engine ever goes. If you don't care what people think when they look at the van then it is a good choice.
