Used 1991 Toyota Previa Consumer Reviews
great design
bought with 30000 miles, at 100000, and still going strong. Bought it to replace 1999 Caravan that quit once too often. Now own two toyotas! Exceptionally reliable, driven approx 75 mi daily.
It's been a workhorse
This old fellow has over 300,000 miles and is just starting to show its age BUT it's still drivable and looks very modern. I had to replace the drive shaft that runs the various belts at about 200,000 and some of the door hardware has come loose. The radio and cassette deck were a little weak. There is no reason to expect less than 250,000 miles on the '91 Previa. This is a great vehicle. AND it's been paid for for well over 10 years!
BRING BACK THE PREVIA, PLEASE!!!
My famiy and I bought this 91 previa at 167,000mi. It is now pushing 250,000, and has had nothing wrong with it, other than the usual wear and tear. I brag to all my SUV owner friends at the great gas mileage I get on long trips. It's great at pulling too!!! The mid-engine design gives it superb balance. We've painted it twice and is now bright orange!! Got a 99 CR-V and went on a 10 hr trip with it, and it had engine trouble, kicked myself for even doubting my van. I would never ever travel with anything else inspite of the high miles. I would trust my family to this vehicle any time!! Have been offered money for it, but I will drive it until I die!
One Great Hauling Machine.
No major problems, despite many long trips and grocery getting duty for many years, many long trips. Many complain about the lack of power, but hey it is a minivan not a sports car!! When is the last time you had 6 friends in your Toyota Celica, I dont think so. Great for road trips with up to 7 people, able to hang out together. It always comes along on the camping trips, a trusted part of our gear. Have it up to 160,000 miles now, still running great, thought of getting a new vehicle but cannot beat the practicality of it. Interior design has aged well. Start it up and you are gone, you will get there.
I'll keep it forever!
Have owned this Previa since day 1 and love it. Have no fear of taking on long trips. Used as a work horse when remodeling our home. Carried bricks, appliances, lumber with no trouble. Would not think of parting with it. Don't use it much anymore since I got my Prius but it starts every time I use it. Regular oil changes and general maintenance keep it running great.
