The claim is,

The head gasket was just changed by the only Toyota Previa mechanic in the U.S and it will start up every time, the rear wheel bearings were just replaced and it shifts like a dream.
The "only Toyota Previa mechanic in the U.S." sounds either like the owner was a Previa fan and took good care of it, or is full of hot air.

I also believe everyone sells their stuff for a reason. Why is he/she selling it? Did the "only Toyota Previa mechanic in the U.S." warn him/her that this van is going to need a new engine soon or that the part that needed replacing (e.g. head) is impossible to find in worthwhile condition?

Edit. The ad also says "would consider trade with JDM car." So, maybe that's the reason the person no longer wants it because the family shrunk and now the owner wants to shrink the vehicle down to something else that's fun.
