That car is not meant for the rigours of knock about vehicle. Its a nice car with very good space and ease of use gadgets but I would advice you don't have it in mind to utilise it for transportation business especially inter state.

mpg not so great

body won't hold the stress

engine not common and electrical should not be messed with.

you shouldn't be considering this vehicle but if you don't have a choice you can have a go at it and test run for a month or two.
I also hope it's not nigerian used

Nurey has said it all... I still have a 2000 model. Vehicle runs great. But, it’s notorious for excessive fuel consumption..esp the V6 variant. Rear shocks ain’t that durable, fuel gauge usually gets faulty...
I doubt if it’s good for intra state shuttle. You could try a Sienna, Previa or a Picnic.

it has been used for a while in Nigeria....with what you have said I'm changing my mind because I wanted to take it and run for at least two years to get the money for another good one

On the contrary, it is well built and structured to hold/withstand stress.

personal use yes, public use my guy it will fall apart. A man in my university days used this same vehicle, the door paddings are first to start coming off due to frequent open and close

Lmao @ ‘fall apart’....I’ve had this one for about 11 years, although it is hardly driven. It has only covered 8k miles since 2007. Mind you, the container that brought it into the country, offloaded it right in front of my house..(it was meant to be my dad’s ride, but he abandoned it few months later, coz he felt Twas too boring to drive).
About the door paddings, yes..they might fall off..but I was referring to the struts, bearings, engine and suspension(with the exception of the rear). It’s quite a fragile-rugged vehicle.

If that car consumes more than the previa ...it should not be used for commercial purposes. Previa kwa..a total fuel guzzler

Classic oxymoron... "Fragile-rugged vehicle"

I see....lemme think about it. I wanted to sell it few years ago, but I got ludicrous offers..hence, I decided to retain it.
