Selling my excellent, reliable and comfortable van.

I have been travelling and climbing in this van for 1.5 years, but have been climbing and living in cars/vans for 6 years. Toyota Taragos/Previas are amazingly dependable vehicles and a very wise choice for any traveller or van dweller. This van in paticualr is an excellent vehicle and I am only selling it as I am leaving Australia.

When I came to Australia I spent 2 weeks in Sydney looking for a good condition Toyota Tarago. I looked at nearly 40 vehicles until I found one that was in great mechanical condition. I met tons of shady people selling absolute garbage! I don't wish that experience upon anyone.

I bought this van from a family man in the suburbs who was upgrading to a newer Tarago. I am the first traveller to own it. Back in Canada I have the same van and am familiar with their problems and how to fix them.

My van has started every time and never broken down. I have made some small repairs, and dont anticipate any problems. Throughout my travels I have met many people that have had their cars/vans break down not long after getting them and cost them serious $$$. I did all of the hardwork finding this van in the Sydney suburbs and have taken very good care of it. Essentially, it is better than when I bought it and has many good, trouble free miles left in it.

Details:
1990 Toyota Tarago, 2.4L, 5spd, a/c, power locks, roof rack, 235,000kms.

It has 8 seat belts and all the seats fold down to sleep two comfortably. There is storage underneath and I have all cooking, camping, and sleeping gear. The cooker is a 2 burner gas operated unit and I also have tool sets, jackstands, spare tire, oil filter wrench, and some fluids.

The clutch was replaced just before I got the van and since I have had it I have fixed a few things:

New rear shocks
Valve cover gasket
Spark plugs
Ignition leads
Tie rod ends
New tires
And I change the oil every 5000km

Included:

Camping/Sleeping/ Cooking Gear:

Sleeping bags, blankets, pillows
Sleeping pads
Tent
Two Burner Primus stove and Gas tank
Storage tubs
Pots, Pans, Utensils
Kerosene lantern
Camp chairs

Tools:

Full automotive tool set
Wrench set
Jack stands and jack
Oil filter wrench
Full size spare tire
Repair manual


I am quite knowledgeable about these vans and have taken excellent care of this one. It will surely provide many more years of trouble free travels!

Currently, I am climbing in the Grampians, but will be heading to Sydney on May 8. I would like $3500 and it will have 7 months rego (I will be adding more rego when I head up to NSW ) or $3000 with 1 month rego. Alternate arrangements can be made. Feel free to txt, call or email me. Serious inquiries only please. Email me at matt (dot) hannay @ gmail.com or call/txt 0474 228 769.

Happy Travels!
