This van was brought to the local garage because some criminal had hack-sawed the catalytic converter off of it one night. The owner was not able to pay for the repairs, so it sat at the garage's lot for about a year. I inquired about it and bought it off the owner for storage fees. I bought it because the A/C was good and I needed parts for my work van. Unfortunately, my van does not have the dual climate zones setup (this van does have the rear A/C and heat), so none of the parts I wanted will change over. It runs and drives. Engine is strong and transmission feels good. It needs a "Y" pipe and catalytic converter. The brakes feel a little sluggish. I only drove it out of the lot onto a trailer, then off the trailer and into my driveway; so I think it's just the rust on the brake rotors that was feeling odd, but I have not taken it down the road. The rear differential is a limited-slip posi. I do not know the gear ratio. The interior is musty from sitting for a year and would need cleaned. The headliner surface material is sagging, but the backing structure is not. The seats are in good shape. The carpet is pretty dirty but not torn up. The listed mileage is rounded up. I know it is 150-something from when I got it, but the battery is dead so I couldn't check it without jumping it again. The tires are all low on tread, but acceptable and hold air. 3 of 4 center caps are present. It's originally from Virgina. There is rust here and there, but it's very minimal for what vans this age usually looks like. The doors are very nice on the bottoms as are the rockers. It was a private daily driver up till the vandalism; that's really all I know about it. I just want to get my money back out of it. I paid $1200 and think it's well worth it in useful parts or fixed as a driver, but I already have a van and don't need it. I'd like to take as little loss as possible; so only serious offers please. I might consider parting it out, but I'd like to see if it'll go whole first. Feel free to submit any offers for any parts you are interested in should I decide to part it out. If you have questions that aren't answered here or in the pictures, I probably won't know the answer; but you can try if you like and I'll do my best.
