The van only has 65,000 miles on it.

That's what he gets for buying a minivan?
Seriously, I'd be pissed too and would have that thing on the books for Lemon Law.

I will never own a Japanese car again, and find them to be souless modes of point a to point b, which is not my cup of tea when it comes to driving. As for your 4runner not needing ANY service for 75,000 miles, does that not scare you that you are driving what is supposed to be a heavy SUV and you have not worn wear parts like tires and brakes? It tells me the truck is way too light for it's intended purpose, or the brakes and tires are made of some exotic materials that fight wear at all costs.

To get to work each day, that's all I need....cheap from A to B. I save my 4Runner for a weekend warrior at this point, soon to add a Camaro 2SS/RS to that line up. As for my being scared....not at all. I'm VERY good with mechanics and check things on a regular basis. The 4Runner just flat works, although since adding the supercharger the tires are about to go. The 4Runner has a gross weight of 4070, what's the V8 Camaro gonna weigh...3800?.
