SUPERCHARGED 1996 Toyota Previa: A Minivan Ahead of its Time..

[@jasras5003]

In 4th grade, my granddad bought a brand new '93 Previa in 1992. This thing was expensive, like $19,000 back then. The big rear AC vent cooled us kids down in the back on a hot California summer day. We used to load up 4 or 5 of my friends and drive out to the desert hot springs for the weekend, and he'd let me drive when we got close to the trailhead. He gave it to me when I was 24, and I got hit by a drunk driver a few months later. Totaled. Definitely ahead of its time.

I have a 1996 super charger but that one is super clean

[@michaelclarke-rn7eo]

Love it I just purchase the same colour and year mine is called a Tarago Getaway 2, same thing just about, I’m Western Australia Perth Done 385,000 kilometres not rust sorted out things that people have not put together correct got all the seat beats working as years of body sweat stoped the retracting properly mine still the decal on the sides and back original , few more miner jobs and I’ll take a trip in it I have a spare 1997 one for parts a few small things swap over , I’m 70 plus my youngest son 29 loves it so he will likely land up with it Was great to watch Regards Mike

Its crazy how vehicles literally and figuratively transport you back, more than any other thing. Even more than food.

[@StishFicks]

Every time I hear that supercharger when it accelerates, it always brings a smile to my face. My family and I went everywhere with this van when I was a kid. My parents also owned a RWD supercharged model. The only reason my dad sold it was because we moved up north and the RWD was difficult to drive in slippery conditions. It was still in great condition with no rust at the time of sale as it was a California vehicle. If only I was older when my dad sold it, I would have taken it and kept it forever.

the sound!!

[@MrRensan404]

I own a 1993 Previa LE, not supercharged with double sunroof, tow package, rear spoiler, aluminum wheels, etc. now with 290k miles on an original engine and transmission. It still runs with an average of 22 MPG on regular fuel and does not consume oil in between oil changes. A durable van indeed with space age looks.

[@mnj5089]

I really can't comment much on what I was doing in 1996 but I will confess I graduated in '91. Just bought a JDM version of this and can't wait for it to be here.

[@treeceysfatcatenterstheroo5622]

In 1996 I was studying for my Learners permit 🚘😒

[@gtemplesrt8]

I was graduating high school in 96! Funny thing is I just ran across this exact vehicle on Facebook just now! Pretty crazy to see it being reviewed and its the exact same vehicle!

[@guys_garage]

No way!

[@gtemplesrt8]

Yeah I thought it was pretty cool too lol

[@rrtds9378]

I have a ‘96 Previa SC with 280,000 miles on the same engine and trans. It drives very well and super reliable. It is currently our primary vehicle for transportation.

[@guys_garage]

wow, that’s incredible

[@THAH0N3STCHANNEL]

I was 5 in Nov 96 but I was young and in love w cars

[@guys_garage]

Same here

[@brianwarshow129]

94' LE SC here, I can't imagine owning anything else. Cheers.

[@mr.bnatural3700]

My 1992 Previa all trac I still drive today has containers of orange slices and juicy-juice boxes from 1990s soccer games, Chucky Cheese tokens and Game Boys everywhere. Mine is one of the nicest you'll see anywhere. People ask me if it's a new model of Toyota.

😂

[@UUBrahman]

Love the paint color - so appropriate for the SF Bay area.

[@guys_garage]

It really is!

[@vedalaranganath351]

26-27 years, still working??????? My dad used to own one from 1991 Love your video!!!

[@guys_garage]

Thanks that means a lot, sounds like it bringing back memories

[@Polaris12295]

In 1996, I was busy being born.

[@guys_garage]

haha

[@swtexan6502]

In 1996, I was a JR. in college in Texas. Previa's are awesome.

[@guys_garage]

Cool thanks for sharing

[@robsrave8156]

In 96 I was in second grade and the Macarena was going hard. Bob Dole and Bill Clinton were doing it together that’s how much we didn’t care back then.. I miss discovery zone I feel like the previa and discovery zone are memes that never got made lol. I remember in my head seeing the previa when I was being picked up from school this was like 94 and it was the light blue one I believe and it was so iconic looking even back then.

[@tom165983]

Good conditions for a what 26 year old vehicle. Surprising it’s still on the road

[@guys_garage]

Same thoughts i had

[@guys_garage]

This was SUCH a fun video to make

[@GLOBALINE-o1y]

[@mmonty8492]

Are you in alameda? 😂

[@willbongiorno7381]

6:13 nah why’s he bouncin on it

[@JaceD4V1S88]

That whistling may be the famous previa whistle, something to do with the muffler or exhaust if it's still factory.

[@UUBrahman]

Supercharger whining up with air pressure?

[@JaceD4V1S88]

@@UUBrahman no the factory exhaust had a small hole and the material inside to muffle the sound would go bad or something and the different fluctuation in pressure caused it to whistle

[@LitReels]

@guys_garage did they sell it? I am local and would be interested in buying!

[@guys_garage]

They sold it sorry!

[@kurticusmaximus]

The condition of this one is pristine. Your eggstacy was well deserved.

[@guys_garage]

I was very eggstatic!

[@mnj5089]

If you happen to still be looking, check out Texas Postal Cars. I just bought a JDM ( Japanese right hand driving imported ) for under $10 out the door and only 83k miles. Turbo charged. They have a bunch more still including one that has the hot\cold box to keep a few drinks hot or cold. Oh yeah baby!

[@hansolo7205]

I had one, and it died of corrosion:(

[@tallbmiyhi7179]

What does supercharger mean?

[@guys_garage]

air is pushed into the engine to increase power

[@jesusantoniovazqueztellez1346]
