Vehicle Detail
Before reading my full description, please be a credible, serious buyer. One who truly wants this vehicle. I've had a few fake bidders, and don't want to waste anyone's time. The van just had a new battery put in it but it drained quickly, there's an unknown wiring or alternator or something else going on. Please read more details in my full description below if your are truly interested and have the funds to purchase. You will need a flatbed or a towtruck to pick up the van located outside of Warren, PA. Please do not purchase if you don't have access to a tow or flatbed, thank you. Up for sale is my 1999 Toyota Sienna LE van. The van is in great condition for the year and only has 134,824 miles on it. I've always done regular oil changes and have taken great care of the vehicle. Tons of great extras like climate control for heat and A/C in all three rows of seating, seating for seven people with privacy tint on the rear two rows and rear window. Dual sliding middle doors, four nice and roomy bucket seats, with a three passanger (removable and fold down) bench in the rear. Ive upgraded the stereo to a Pioneer SuperTuner with ipod and front aux controls with 1/8" mini jack, it has a 200Watt preamp, and there's also a great seven speaker sound system with speakers in all three rows of seating so it really sounds great. The stereo also includes a remote control for volume controls and tuning stations. The overall cosmetic condition of the vehicle is good. There are a few small scratches in the paint and a few small dings(probably from shopping carts), the interior also has a few small barely noticeable stains and a few small burn marks but overall nothing major, all things you'd expect for a late model vehicle. The four tires were bought new at the same time and have at least 70% of tread left. Also, the van is Pennsylvania inspected until 2/2015. I have the clear and clean PA State title in hand ready to sign over as well. The van has never been in an accident or anything. Of course feel free to do your own carfax or other check of your choice. I will draw up a sales receipt for us both to sign and we will both have a copy as well. I've been on ebay for 15 years and have never sold a vehicle so I'm going to try and describe this to the best of my ability and not being a mechanic, I recommend that you check the van out prior to bidding. Everything with the van was great until this last winter, the van started acting sluggish and was running rich with poor gas mileage. The engine light came on and I took it to my mechanic and replaced the fuel pump, thermostat, and O2 sensor. It drove good for a few weeks then the problems returned. The battery also died so I just replaced it with a brand new battery with warranty two months ago. When I installed the new battery, the van ran great, drove super smooth and accelerated and shifted great. About 30 miles or so later, the engine light came back on. And then it was back to running very sluggish and poor mileage and running super rich. I hadn't started it in two weeks and now the brand new battery is dead so I'm assuming something is drawing power and maybe it's a simple wiring thing, or possibly another sensor, could also be an alternator, or anything really, as I don't really know much about vehicles. Im not sure if its a little issue or a larger one. I don't think it's major, but can not be sure, and just can't put any more money into it at this point. I know ive spent well over $1000.00 on new parts and labor the past six months and whatever is going on is still there. I'd not be selling this if it were still running normally as I think it's still a good vehicle, definitely was before all of this. Could be an excellent opportunity to get a great higher-end Toyota vehicle with lots of new parts at a great price, if you know how to fix or have access to a reliable, honest mechanic. One other upgrade to note is that the same mechanic who was unable to fix the van to begin with, also created a problem when he changed my oil at the same time and did not latch the hood. I left his lot, had a large truck pass by me and the wind created was enough to send the hood up, it crinkled the hood and cracked the windshield. Both were professionally fixed by the garage though, so there is a brand new windshield with seal, and also a brand new hood with no chips or scratches, both the hood and windshield are perfect except the paint job on the hood, while the color matches pretty much exactly, its the gloss that is slightly off, and it can be noticed at the right angle, not a major issue at all but I want to be honest about everything with the van and this is a small cosmetic issue that actually is a great bonus with brand new, chip-free glass, and hood. Prior to this the van looked perfect and drove near perfect as well. The cosmetics have been fixed for the most part (see pics), but with the battery dead, and the unknown wiring/alternator/?? problem, you will need a towtruck or flatbled for pickup. Please do not use the "buy it now" option if you aren't intending to purchase the van. Also, please email me ASAP after purchasing so that we can setup pickup arrangements quickly. The van needs be picked up and paid in full within 7 business days. All sales final, with original PA title to be signed over to the bidder the day of pickup and payment, sales receipt, and both of my keys will also be provided at that time. To be picked up outside of Warren, PA. I've listed the "buy it now" price at $1900--to be paid in cash, I know that it's worth more than that, but i'm motivated to get my parking spot back for my wife and I was hoping at this price that I'll attract the right honest bidder and this can all be done smoothly and easy for both of us. Thanks for looking and please see pictures above, and please email me with any questions, i respond in a timely manner. Thanks again and God Bless.
