2018 ToyotaSienna XLE For Sale

Always hearing about how reliable toyotas are. I picked up a 2011 sienna with 185k. I heard these things can last 300k. First thing went was the water pump. Not a big deal considering the mileage. Water pumps do not last for ever. So I had them do the water pump, belt tensioner, idler pulley, thermostat which for some ridiculous reason is buried down there somewhere where you have to take have the vehicle apart to get to it. The book calls for total engine removal to do this job. Most mechanics I spoke to had a work around which required removing motor mounts and jacking the engine up. Still totally ridiculous for for replacing a water pump. That was $1,700.00. Never changed a water pump on any other vehicle I ever owned where the repair exceed $350.00. To add insult to injury the belt came off four times after the repair. Had it back in the shop and also brought it to two other mechanics. No one could figure out why this happened. So far, the belt has stayed on this time. Next we go to lower control arms. Again, a wear and tear issue. The book calls for a 12 hour job that necessitates engine removal. First quote I got was $2,300.00. To replace a lower control arm? Again, fortunately there was a work around that again requires jacking up the motor to get to a bolt on the top of the drivers side lowered control arm. The second mechanic charges me $740.00 for the labor but was kind enough to allow me to provide the parts which save me a little bit of money. So we are now up to over $2,400.00 for simple wear and tear issues. So now I'm thinking I could get some use out of this thing. Wrong again. As it reaches 200k, and the cold weather sits in, they transmission will not shift properly unless warm the truck up for 20 minutes. I'm on year two of owning this thing and the transmission wasn't doing this last year. I got to check the transmission fluid only to discover that this monstrosity of a vehicle has a sealed transmission and is supposedly maintenence free. This leaves me scratching my head since there are two rubber transmission cooling lines. So I guess they last forever two. No I come to find out the oil cooler line is also made I'd rubber and if that goes all of the oil can drain out of the engine in a matter of seconds. There is an after market steel oil cooler replacement configuration but again a very costly repair for precautionary measure. Almost every maintenance repair on this vehicle is labor intensive running easily four hundred dollars and beyond. Good luck with a tune up or changing the rear valve cover gasket. There is essentially nothing you can do yourself on this vehicle except changing bulbs and replacing the battery. Honestly, I'll never buy another Toyota. Maybe you can get 300 k or more out of this but not without spending a ton of money. Oh yeah. Rear ac lines rotted out. Those can be capped off and you can still have front ac. The kit is 80.00 and of course the system must be evacuated and recharged. My advice is, do not buy one of these use that has over 100 k on it. Then you can probably squeeze another hundred out of it before it takes you to the cleaners.

We’ve had our 2012 Sienna XLE V-6 2wd for 3-1/2 years, and have used it for everything from cross-country trips to hauling lumber. It seats six in comfort, or can haul a 4’ x 8’ sheet of plywood with the second row captains chairs removed and the rear seat folded. With 140,000 miles on the odometer, you might expect a few issues, but other than a broken fuel filler door the car has been trouble free.

The seats are in great condition, no stains or tears. Floors have always had Weather Tech mats . Outside has a few cosmetic dings.
