Vehicle Detail

Selling this for my friend and next door neighbor. Her parents, who live in Florida, gave this van to her while she was living in New Jersey. She put new tires on it and drove it about 10,000. She needed a vehicle at the time because her primary car needed a lot of work. She moved to Vermont in 2014 to take a job and learned very quickly this van wouldn't cut it for our Vermont winters so it got parked. Ultimately she traded her primary vehicle in on a new car and this van sat. She moved out of the camp she was renting and the van had to move. It hadn't been driven in about 18 months and the rear brakes were seized (rusted from sitting). Someone came to "help" her with the van while she was moving out and they started the van and just let it run without paying attention thinking they could drive the brakes free (it wasn't possible). We're assuming there was a bunch of rust in the old oil filter and the engine died. I can't get an exact mileage because the battery is dead, but 122,000 is correct within 1000 miles. We helped her move this van to her new house and put it in her garage and it's been there ever since. The body on this van is amazing and all the glass and doors are intact. The interior needs a good cleaning and someone spilled a bleaching agent on the carpet so it's discolored behind the driver's seat. It has the 7 passenger seating with the 2 extra captain's chairs and a rear bench. All of the rear seats (the bench and 2 captain's chairs) fold and tumble into the floor to quickly convert this into a hauling machine. The driver's side middle row seat is there, it's just folded into the floor. This thing has all the manufactuer's bells and whistles. If it was an available option, it has it, including sliding doors on both sides. The transmission was just fine when the engine died. The tires are getting old now even though they don't have a lot of miles on them. They were bought in Florida though and are "all seasons" so they're good for Florida's seasons and summer in the Northeast. Except for one trip, this van has never been driven in a New England winter. The high bidder in this auction can take the whole van or contact me about taking only parts. I'm not guaranteeing I'll part it, but I will consider it. The title is clean and from New Jersey. If you need a family van and don't have much money but do have the time to drop in an engine, battery, and brakes, you'll have a great driver on your hands that will last another decade if cared for. Sold as is, no warranty. Transportation within New York and New England possible. Please contact for a quote.
