My getting a new Vehicle ....Dilemma - is OVER

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

I found a super clean, down state car ( Mass. ) with a clean Carfax for $4500.00 ( used private sale ) ….. A 2007 Toyota Sienna LE, V-6 ( 266 hp ) w /AWD. I didn't really need the AWD but at that price it was FREE and the EPA gas mileage isn't that different from the FWD model ...180,000 mi ( for a Toyota that's just broken in ) …. So I can relax and stop looking :yes: ….. Thanks for all the advice I got from members here , it helped w/my decision to get the Sienna model ….. PS the guy is also going to deliver it to my door :yes::yes::yes: ........ Mike :ohyea:

You will like the AWD. I didn't need it either until my wife bought an SUV with it. The next SUV will have it for sure.

No running stronger than ever ….. However I live in possibly the strictest Vehicle Inspection state in the nation …. It has the drivers Air Bag light on …. but it's actually a sensor that throwing the code ….. I friend who used to do the inspection could clear the code with His OBD reader …. according to Him - if the Code clears and doesn't IMMED come back on …. then the issue isn't with the device in question ….. The Toyota dealership has tried to fix this but CAN'T :banghead:.... they agree the code is false but Vt. DMV won't allow the Veh. to be Inspected :gaah:.... my only option is to sell it out-of-state where they aren't so fussy ….. Mike :ohyea:

Those are great mini vans. My brother in law has one with over 350k on it. He is a pastor and does a lot of traveling. I know God is riding with him, but the van is a great machine. As for the inspections, I live in Wake County, NC, and we have tough inspections. My way around it is by registering my vehicles in Person County (about 50 miles away), where I have another house and land. There, inspections are only $13, and as long as your lights work, tires not bald, and horn works, it will pass.
