This vehicle is the high-end with power, leather seats, split temp controls (R, L, front & back), entertainment system with DVD player in the back, and a towing bar attached in the back. It was hesitating while shifting, so I took it to a transmission specialist who drove it and then ran computer diagnostic tests. He said the problem was that the computer controlling the shifting needed to be reset. He reset the computer, and it drives beautifully. Quite a bargain!

Guy couldn't get it to run and just wanted it gone. I bought it, basically just gave it a tune up, cleaned out the fuel system and fixed the heater switch and bam. I'd still have it today if I didn't get basically forced to sell it.

My 2003 Sienna van is in PERFECT interior condition, rides smooth, engine purrs. Body is in great shape but it needs paint, as the clearcoat is failing - which I'm getting ready to do. It got us through two boys and a lot of trips to the mountains. I have a hitch on it so I can pull my small trailer to move stuff. I took the back seats out (still have them) so I can move larger items and so I don't really need a truck. I thought, WHY sell it? It's a classic and super reliable. I still wouldn't hesitate to drive it several hundred miles, but mostly, just use it around town as a second car to move stuff. Mine is this exact color. I love her! Had a Previa van (aircraft carrier, LOL) before this - a deer totaled it!

To be clear on something, you don't buy studded snows because they're good ALL the time. You buy them if you always need to get whwre you're going safely. It only takes one shift to an ice storm to cost you a car or life. If you can afford it, buy studs on secondary rims. Change them yourself in the fall and back in the spring. They'll last a decade if you take care of them.

I honestly think mid 90’s to mid 00’s vehicles are the best vehicles ever made. It was a perfect blend of modern reliability and comfort with not too much tech on them and (especially the Japanese ones) are fairly simple to work on. I’ve been driving one or another version for almost my whole career and I will keep doing so. They’re not flashy but they’re comfortable and still have a little character to them. My latest family one is a 2006 Honda pilot, it’s high miles but had all the maint done with records since new. 215k and drives like new, has some luxuries like heated seats, sunroof and DVD system but nothing crazy and I love it. I’d still be rocking my 2000 Camry with over 200k if it didn’t get totaled, my daughters 04 accord has 300k, my other daughters 02 celica has 250k. Just really great products.

Just traded my 2011 rogue SL for a 2000 Sienna. Even trade no money. My rogue’s ac evaporator core failed. Price is taking the whole dash apart or paying a professional over a thousand. I test drive this, and the ac works in the front and back, 23 years later.

Main points outlined in the video: In this video, the host recommends the Toyota Sienna as an excellent choice for a family van. Here are the main points: 1. **Dependability**: The host showcases a Toyota Sienna with 280,000 miles on it, which the owner purchased for $1,600. Despite its high mileage, it has proven to be dependable for long-distance trips. 2. **Maintenance**: The owner performed some maintenance, including changing the power steering rack and other normal wear-and-tear items, but overall, the van has held up well. 3. **Rust Resistance**: The owner lives in Minnesota, known for harsh winters with road salt. Despite this, the Sienna's body and frame have remained relatively rust-free, highlighting Toyota's rust-resistant manufacturing process. 4. **Practicality**: The host mentions that minivans may not be the most exciting vehicles, but they are highly practical, especially for families. They offer ample space and a comfortable ride. 5. **Affordability**: The Sienna's affordability compared to buying a new van is highlighted, making it an attractive option for those on a budget. 6. **Powertrain**: The Sienna is equipped with a reliable 3.0-liter V6 engine and an automatic transmission. The engine and transmission have held up well over time, showcasing Toyota's reputation for reliability. 7. **Maintenance Tip**: The host advises changing power steering fluid regularly to prevent issues like the one the owner faced due to neglected maintenance. In summary, the video recommends the Toyota Sienna for its reliability, longevity, and affordability, especially for families looking for a practical and budget-friendly vehicle.

I would argue the Chevy Astro AWD is the best work vehicle ever. 3 rows a seats for road trips or pull the seats and it is the only minivan you can put 4x8 sheets of plywood stacked to the roof and close the doors. I am on my second one and have had 3 offers to buy it in the last month alone.

It’s very true with those siennas. And the 94 Camry We had that exact kind of sienna when I was a young dad.. it took us everywhere on family trips and rarely gave us any problem. .. definitely well built.. no longer have it but thise that are looking for older van.. these older sienna is the perfect choice.

Yeah, lots of miles and still running. I had a Toyota RN50 pickup with a 22R engine once. The speedometer always read 8% more than the actual speed, and the odometer registered 8% more than the actual mileage. They are good vehicles, but check your odometer against the mile posts on the interstate. I climbed the north side of Brindlee Mountain on US231 when it was slushy near the bottom and snow covered half way up with regular tires, no chains.

Still driving my '04 Sienna. No longer my primary vehicle, but still runs very nicely. Primary repairs have been the radiator in 2010 and, more recently, the catalytic converters (2022). Other than that no real issues. I will continue to drive it until something major goes wrong with the engine or transmission.

I bought a 2009 Toyota Sienna XLE back in 2013 with 8500 miles on it. It also came with the ramp conversion kit on it because I’m in a wheelchair. I paid $23000. As of today I have 71235 miles on it. I have really never put a dime into this vehicle except regular maintenance. First problem just popped up my brake light on dashboard stays on. I think the master cylinder may be going up in it because brakes feel real mushy and vehicle is getting harder to bring to a stop. I have know idea what the repair will cost. We will see. But a great vehicle so far.

........i've got a 2001 sienna i bought new. Only have 92,000 original miles and still drives great. Six cylinder. I was going to by another car but i am thinking why. Been in Huntington beach, Calif. since i bought it. Never been in snow or any type of fender bender let alone a wreck. Only work ever done was two fuel sensors. One needed replacing and other just cleaned because i failed smog test in California and front brakes twice. Also 3 sets of tires. Paid $25,000. out the door which i thought was a lot. Wish now i would have bought two when they were new......haha.

Awesome spot on well said Mr. Scott! Last night my 2000 Chevy Astro van died. I am looking at shortly getting a 2000 Toyota Sienna. My mechanic says that the Toyota Sienna is overall better than the Chevy Astrovan. From design to repair etc. I also liked from what I've seen with the old Previa mini van design. I understand the parts are getting harder to obtain for the Previa. Looking forward to have a good Sienna mini van.

They use to really know how to make vehicles back in the day, and we got something pretty good for our money. I still like buying an older used vehicle instead of new, and have it checked out thoroughly by a mechanic, because I know it's going to be so much better built than the newer ones, and we aren't going to have all of the new electronic problems and sensor problems which will save us a ton of money not having to have repaired.
