1986 Toyota Van LE, been in the Family since new, 233,000 miles.

With the moon roof, sunroof and all the sliding window down it's like a convertible.

I think Toyota had the quality control at the factory turned all the way up to get over the bad rap from the 70's.

Even all the little things manufacturers skimp nickels and dimes on that eventually drive people nuts and back to the lot to buy a new piece of crap are still working.

This thing just goes and goes.

My auto budget is pennies on the dollar amortized out compared to most folks.

Oh yeah, I remember those Toyota vans. We had a neighbor with one. You’re right about the little details — all the electronic doodads in my Celica still work, 100%. All the window motors, the little sprayers, the cruise control, the dash lights, all are good. Toyota built some really solid cars back in the 80s.
