I'm making some moves pretty soon here, which include selling my Subaru outback for a vehicle that is cheaper and easier to sleep in. I'm eyeing Toyota Sienna's and Previa's at the moment. I'm okay with high miles, I simply want to remove the rear seats and I will only be keeping the van for 2 months before leaving the country. Thoughts or experience with either of these? Or is there a better option? I'm drawn to the Toyota's because they seem to run forever, so I'm less scared buying a van with loads of miles. Other idea's welcome.
What Jake said, if you are only living in it for two months, why does it matter? Siennas maybe hard to find under $2k, but you maybe able to find a Previa. I don't have too much experience with Siennas, other than riding in friends' camper vans. But have a direct experience with a Previa. The nice thing about them is that they are way roomier than other minivans. You can easily put a 8x4 plywood to line the floor in the back. It means you can fit a full-size bed/mattress in the back and still have 2 feet of room for other stuff (say kitchen). They are pretty dependable but as with any old cars, once something breaks it will cost you as the parts are hard to get. You may want to look into a Chevy Astro or something like that, you maybe able to find something around a grand. I actually know one for sale being auctioned off, that you may be able to get for a song.
Love my Sienna, tons of road trips and miles, both flat and mountain. Crash pad fits in the back with only two seats removed, all four is better. Great mileage.
