@@funwithfurryfriends9258 absolutely! My younger brother needed a reliable rig and so I sold him my beloved sienna and he loves it also! Up over 190k miles now and still running like new! 💪🏽😊💯
That’s awesome! I thought about that with my drivers seat and if it doesn’t hold up I’ll be doing that also! So, so easy to get parts and relatively inexpensive as well especially for a Toyota! Thank you for the comment and congrats on having one! They are sweet! 💯😊

My mom asked me to help fix and sell her ‘98 Sienna XLE. I told her my friend and I can fix it up and it’s still usable. She said I could keep it. Only 109k miles. So excited.
@@FishingAndCarsI’m on the fence, Their is a sienna for sale 180k 3,500 or 2000 Windstar 109k for sale same price. After looking at a 2016 dodge caravan the leather seats were so hard and uncomfortable I don’t care if they are stow and go, I passed on it and looked at an old sienna. Now I’m trying to decide. Those older vans have very comfortable seating.
@@flowergarden1426 I would run a carfax if I was serious on something, or request one. In my opinion the longevity and smoothness on these siennas triumphs all! However regular oil changes is huge as the 3.0 can sludge up if not. Or see if they have a maintenance history/receipts for it. The sienna in my video is over 200k miles! My brother needed a family vehicle and bought it from me… still runs drives like it’s brand new! If I was a betting man and they really are similar conditions, ect… I’d pay the $1500 more for a sienna or try to talk them down to 3k… I’ve also driven one of these with over 400k miles, original motor, original transmission and running perfect! If taken care of, nothing in my opinion compares to a sienna 😊
@@FishingAndCars thank you so much, I’ve always loved Toyotas, just put down my Yaris 253k and bought a vibe with a Toyota engine. I love the body style of the 2000 sienna and I don’t know why they ever changed it, I think they went backwards with the 2024.
@@flowergarden1426 I’m a Toyota enthusiast but that ends pending model 2022 or so, so I agree… The Sienna in my video is 25 years old, very little to zero rust, mostly original parts, and like new driving experience… we just won’t get that out of the newest stuff in my opinion, but we’ll see! 😊
Bought my 2003 at 140,000 km 10 years ago and now at 253,000 km. Best van ever made. Edge of wheel wells are rusting through after 20 years but we use salt on our roads in winter. Good luck with yours.
That’s awesome! Great story there for sure! And I couldn’t agree more! For the money, it is absolutely the best van ever made! Thank you for your comment! 😊
@@PlumberGuy-ez9wx sounds like a gem! I really think this will be one of the old Toyota rigs where value goes up some in time… some of these will be 50 years old one day and still on the road! Lol
@@FishingAndCars for sure, only problems have been related to the salt on NJ roads and normal wear. The suspension mostly needs to be replaced that's about it, it has less rust than my 2019 Chevy equinox next to it...
@@PlumberGuy-ez9wx these were made extremely well for rust prevention… eventually it’s going to happen but yes, they hold up much better! Suspension is a wear item eventually too lol but very worth the money to keep it going! New is ridiculously expensive and not built to last IMO as much as the oldies 😅😊
Congratulation man, I have the same color the same Toyota sienna 2000 XLE I have 280,000 miles engine and transmission is bulletproof so this is the very honest car which never leave you on the side of the road.
@@bigboycars thank you! I appreciate the comment! 😊 And that’s awesome! It’s at 190k now and still driving like new! I’ve seen 485k miles on one of these and it was still going haha 😂
Nice, I got 1999 Sienna ce with 270k miles I love it. I got it for free too, no cap. it’s been up down the west coast and eastern Wa, Idaho I heard they go up to 500k mi it’s all about maintenance
I have an 2006 Sienna I picked up for $100 when the customer didn’t want to fix it. The vans are awesome I’ve enjoyed it so far. 92,000 miles 3.3 engine
What a complete find and great deal! I’ve owned a second generation Sienna as well! Siennas in general are the best way to go for minivans! I love these things! 😊
thinking about picking one up next month and converting it into a camper van. do you think a twin sized mattress would fit in the back with the seats out? Love the review.
That’s awesome! These are special vehicles… When affordable AND reliable are both present, I’m going to be a big fan! 😊 I have had all the seats out and I’m almost certain there’s space for a twin, pretty roomy! 💯 Thank you for the comment!
Are the 04-06 Sienna as reliable as the first gen? Im trying to get a Sienna, I like the space of the 04-06, but I want whichever one is less repairs. Any advice?
@@jasonleachman933 Siennas are my first choice minivan. There’s pros and cons to the generations. 04-06 have an interference engine! So make sure that timing belt and water pump have been done! If the timing belt breaks the engine is toast! But I’ve personally seen one with that 3.3L v6 at 375k miles still running strong! I would buy one of those pending what I said, and inspecting it myself, or having a trusted mechanic do a pre-purchase inspection… clean title always, and don’t buy a rusty one! I’d be open to about any sienna it just more so depends on budget, and the specific sienna peaking interest! :-) Both first and second gen Siennas are great in their own right…
It’s a double usb port Spektrum bluetooth that I purchased from a local Oriellys auto parts store. About 40 bucks or so and for plug and play I’m happy with it but I’m certainly not the pickiest person 😊 thank you for the comment! 💯
@@FishingAndCars me too, but when I traded my 2011 Rogue SL for a 2000 Sienna XLE A little bit rougher condition than your example But everything just worked wayyyyy better in the Sienna than the Rogue. Rogue was fancier, but this thing, I had never experienced anything like it before. You took the words out of my mouth with your video. These vans right now are averaging much less then their worth. No one cares about them. It’s crazy lol.
@@jaredbryant8297 I haven’t owned a Nissan Rogue but a close friend did. He had his transmission go out, paid for a new one, and then the new one failed so he bought a sequoia which was a much better choice! Lol… maybe some bad luck, but he’s had zero issues with his sequoia! 😎 And I appreciate it very much so! I have lots of fun fishing memories I’ve uploaded but I’m really pinching myself on not doing 30 plus vehicle reviews these last few years lol 😂 I have several faves and strong reasons for them! Always happy to answer questions and or advise people on what to look for! I’m the massive go to guy for my entire family! I always tag along when they are on the market and I find it fun too! 💯😊
1999 with 232,000 miles. Runs like a champ and I love 'er!
@@funwithfurryfriends9258 absolutely! My younger brother needed a reliable rig and so I sold him my beloved sienna and he loves it also! Up over 190k miles now and still running like new! 💪🏽😊💯
I also love my 2000 Sienna van. Just had new leather seats reupholstered. Easy to get parts!

2002 with 120k XLE fully loaded, has lots of power for a van and gives a nice roomy ride.
@@PlumberGuy-ez9wx sounds like a gem! I really think this will be one of the old Toyota rigs where value goes up some in time… some of these will be 50 years old one day and still on the road! Lol
@@FishingAndCars got it for 4k 5 years ago with 60k odo. One owner garage kept. Once in a lifetime find.

@@bigboycars 100% agree! These are amazing lol 😊
I was given a 2000 Sienna xle a few days ago. It’s solid vehicle.
These are truly the hidden vehicles of the market! Where 2 grand can get you a 10 plus year plan vehicle! That’s a score! Love these siennas! 😊

Just bought 2000 same model today, planning to use this car for one road trip only from Montreal to Florida and back 5600km total!
I’d bet on it! And then some! I love these things! 😊
How did the road trip go?
