The Previa

Hey guys here is the previa i bought for $450 cash. So far i changed the tranny fluid and filter,airfilter,oil,brake fluid. About to change spark plugs,wires,fuel filter,diff fluid and valve cover gasket as well its got a small oil leak there. i might also get it a cheap paint job soon was thinking flat black. Now the interior and body does need some work. But the engine and tranny seem strong at 187k miles. Let me know what every one thinks

Lower it, put on some wheels (on the cheap of course) paint it white and it'll be a fapworthy cheap DD

They're very durable vans. My mom Previa is 17 years old and still going strong. Good VIP platform as well.

The George Jetson Mobile! We had one and put 250k on it. Sold it and bought a Sienna, big mistake. The Previa is comfortable and rock solid.

Glad to see that you did not buy the SRT-10 Dodge Ram. As a lot said, you already have the CR S2000 as your fast car.

Previa as daily warrior FTW!

Good luck with your plans for the van!

Right on.

I have a soft spot for Previas. When I was in college my friends and I took a spring break trip from St. Louis to Tampa in a Previa. For being a 4-cylinder, it definitely had enough power to pass on the highway.

It will be a good parts hauler for the S2K if nothing else.

Rustoleum Flat White, rattle can that bitch! Get some E-bay wheels for $200 DIY tint and you are good to go! Personally I would get a set of Sparco Torinos to replace the 187K front seats, but thats just me (and spending twice what you have in the thing on seats may be a little silly)

^^ yea true i just regestered it and it was $218. I was like dam thats half of the cost of the car. But i feel like i can do it slowly and it was so cheap i'm feeling its ok to put a little bit more into to fix it up

Just keep your wits about you and don't go crazy modding your DD. You made a good choice for a beater, but we all know how you are. Now repeat after me: S2K=FUN MODDING CAR Previa= DISPOSABLE BEATER continue until the urge to spend large sums of money on a sub 500 dollar car abates LOL
