Year: 1997 Make: Toyota Model: Previa LE Mileage: 146,010 VIN: JT3HK23M5V1085687 Drivetrain: AWD Engine: 2.4L Supercharged I4 Transmission: Automatic Fuel: Gasoline Color: Green Title: Clean Registration: Expired This 1997 Toyota Previa LE represents one of Toyota's more distinctive minivan designs, combining a 2.4L supercharged four-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, and All-Trac all-wheel-drive system. Its mid-engine layout, supercharged powertrain, and All-Trac AWD system distinguish it from conventional front-engine minivans. This example has a single passenger-side sliding door, leather seating with second-row captain's chairs, roof crossbars, running boards, and a rear tow hitch with ball. Showing 146,010 miles at the time of cataloging, this Previa was delivered in running and driving condition. During the limited function check, the engine started and ran, forward and reverse movement were verified, and steering and braking functions operated during a brief yard check. The vehicle currently has a weak or failing battery and requires a jump-start. Battery replacement is recommended. The seller also reported that the engine had been running somewhat rough prior to delivery and may require a tune-up. During operation, an odor resembling heated or burning engine oil was noted. The source of this odor has not been identified, and it is unknown whether it is related to an oil leak, oil contacting hot engine components, or another mechanical condition. No further diagnosis has been performed regarding the reported rough running or oil-related odor. Prospective buyers should anticipate potential maintenance or repairs and independently evaluate these conditions. The exterior presents in fair overall condition for its age, exhibiting cosmetic wear, paint fading and oxidation, scratches, and other age-related imperfections as photographed. The interior shows wear and staining, including deteriorated window trim and missing lower steering-column trim that leaves wiring exposed. The driver's mirror base cover is damaged. The limited function check identified an issue with the driver's window, and a rear-seat headrest is missing. An additional set of tires is included with the vehicle as photographed. With its supercharged engine, All-Trac AWD system, and distinctive mid-engine design, this Previa offers an unusual combination of Toyota engineering and everyday utility. While the vehicle was received in running and driving condition, its age, battery condition, reported rough running, and unidentified oil-related odor should be considered when evaluating its mechanical condition. Buyers are encouraged to review all photographs and inspect the vehicle in person prior to bidding.
