Hi! Consider purchasing this 2015 Toyota Sienna AWD from the dealership; it has one owner, approximately 100,000 kilometres on the odometer, a perfect history of maintenance, and a clean carfax.
During the mechanical inspection, a small coolant leak was discovered inside the v-bank, and the vehicle is being sold by a Lexus dealership. According to the mechanic, it's not a big deal because these V6 engines typically have some small seepage there and continue to last indefinitely. According to his observations, there is no active seepage, no coolant pooling or dripping, and the area is dry. To him, it was just a dry, coloured spot.
According to the mechanic, this is a common issue with most Toyota and Lexus V6s.
I have heard nothing but bad things about this coolant in the V-bank, but this dealership seems legit.
Is anyone able to shed light on this? Rest assured, the floor is completely free of any pooling or dripping coolant.
Before I commit to purchasing this Sienna, I would greatly value your opinion. Much obliged.
