Power sliding door failures
Cable, motor, and latch failures on the power sliding doors are a long-running Sienna complaint across the XL20 and XL30 generations. Families often sell rather than repair one or both doors.

We buy the cars the big guys reject — but we are not a junk buyer. These fall outside this buying program, and we would rather tell you now than waste your time:
Cable, motor, and latch failures on the power sliding doors are a long-running Sienna complaint across the XL20 and XL30 generations. Families often sell rather than repair one or both doors.
Early XL20 Siennas with the 2GR-FE engine shared the rubber VVT-i oil supply line problem addressed by Toyota service campaigns. A major leak can turn a routine van into a sell-as-is decision.
High-mileage Siennas commonly need A/C compressors, condensers, and radiators, which matter in warm inland San Diego County driving. Owners facing summer A/C failure frequently sell instead of repairing.
AWD XL20 and XL30 models used run-flat tires with no spare, and owners report faster tire wear and costly replacements. Tire and drivetrain upkeep is a common reason these vans come up for sale.
Every one of these is a condition answer on the form — report it and it is priced in from the start, never discovered at pickup.
Two minutes of details: what the car is, how many miles it shows, and where in San Diego County it is parked. Title situation included — complicated paperwork is okay.
The 12-point condition list is the whole pricing basis. Report a failed smog, a missing catalytic converter, or a dead battery up front and it is priced in, not discovered later.
Your offer holds for 7 days. Pick a pickup window that suits you, sign the transfer paperwork when we arrive, and get paid at pickup.
The second-generation XL20 Sienna (2004–2010) offered an available all-wheel-drive system unusual in minivans. The third-generation XL30 (2011–2020) kept the 3.5-liter V6, and the fourth-generation XL40 (2021–present) switched to hybrid-only power on the TNGA platform.
Siennas are front-wheel drive as standard, with all-wheel drive available on V6 generations and offered alongside front drive on the hybrid model. Seating is seven or eight passengers depending on the middle-row configuration.
We buy Toyota Sienna vehicles across the 2004–2024 range we commonly see, and we will look at older ones case by case. Condition matters more than the year — a high-mileage Sienna that starts, drives, and has a working key is exactly what the form is for.
In most cases, yes — that is a known Sienna issue and it is priced into the offer from the condition answers you submit, not discovered at pickup. Describe it honestly and the offer already reflects it.
Yes. Smog failure is one of the 12 condition answers, so the offer accounts for it up front. You do not need to pay for diagnosis, repairs, or a retest before pickup.
Our buyer checks the VIN, title, mileage, and the same condition items you submitted for your Sienna. If everything matches, you sign the transfer paperwork, receive payment, and hand over the keys — and the tow is free in San Diego County.
