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.

Toyota asking NHTSA for fuel cell car safety exemption regarding electric shocks

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

Toyota is requesting an exemption from federal safety regulations that govern electric cars as it prepares to launch a small-scale hydrogen fuel-cell vehicle fleet.
The Japanese automaker is targeting Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 305, which covers the packaging of high-voltage parts in electric cars. According to Uncle Sam, these systems need to be isolated so that passengers and first responders aren't electrocuted in the event of a crash. That seems pretty smart, but it's become a problem for Toyota's upcoming production fuel cell vehicle, as the mechanism that prevents electric shocks in low-speed crashes will apparently simply keep Toyota's car from even functioning.
Instead of the federally approved system, Bloomberg reports that Toyota plans to insulate the high-voltage wires and cables in the car, along with shielding electrical components like the fuel cells, electric motor and batteries with (presumably non-conductive) metal barriers.

Toyota recalling 11,200 Scion iQ models over faulty passenger sensors

Wed, 07 Nov 2012

Toyota has announced a voluntary recall of 11,200 Scion iQ models from the 2012 and 2013 model years. According to the manufacturer, the problem with these pint-sized hatchbacks concerns the front passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) weight sensor cables.
The OCS sensors in the front passenger seat control the operation of things like the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner. In these affected models, the cables for these sensors located in the seat track can become damaged as the passenger seat slides forward and backward. And if the cables are damaged, the airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioner may not function properly.
No injuries or crashes have been reported in conjunction with this issue.

New Toyota semiconductors could increase hybrid fuel efficiency by 10%

Wed, 21 May 2014

Toyota may have an ace up its sleeve in the fuel economy wars, as it's developed a new type of semiconductor that will allegedly help the company's hybrids net a ten-percent improvement in fuel economy.
The tech is still in development, although Toyota is already reporting five-percent gains during testing, six years before it plans to implement the new semiconductor in production vehicles, meaning the ten-percent improvement doesn't seem like an untenable goal. That is, until you hear from Kimimori Hamada, the project general manager of Toyota's electronics division.
"We are aiming for great improvement in fuel economy and miniaturization," Hamada told Automotive News. "This is a very challenging target."
