I bought a 2006 Sienna LE just last week from a private seller I found on my local Craigslist. Paid $9,200 for it.
Took it to Toyota to check it out after the sale. They found nothing wrong with it, but recommended a timing belt replacement and flushing all the fluids.
Total service cost was under $400 (found a timing belt coupon on their web site).
This is the third Sienna we've had. Still have a 2006 XLE that my wife drives.
I've driven it 1,500 miles through the mountains pulling a
Uhaul cargo trailer at the 3,500 pound tow limit.
With that much
weight, the fuel mileage dropped from 24 to 16. But with a 16'
Scamp, you'll be way under the limit and it should tow nicely. Be sure it has electric
brakes though.
The 2008 and newer Sienna's show a 1,000 pound tow limit. The 2004 through 2007's show 3,500 and the tow option was standard those years.
