Thank you for looking at this 2005 Chevy 3500 15-passenger extended van. I bought this van in early 2006. It had been a company fleet vehicle and had about 5000 miles. It now has 34,500 miles. It also has an extended/transferable factory warranty; good until 11/7/2012 or 67,500 miles. Equipment details: 6.0 L gas engine with 300HP and 360# of torque 4 speed HD automatic transmission with tow mode Front air bags Anti-theft system 4 wheel drive ABS brakes 4 wheel automatic traction control system--Note: ATC is not 4 WD but it's the next best thing Heat/AC in front and rear Cruise- tilt wheel- keyless entry- power windows/locks/brakes and steering Cloth seats Running boards AM/FM/CD Carpet throughout with mats Trailer hitch with trailer brake control I bought and used this van for camping (see interior pictures with beds/dresser and closet) and pulled a 4000# GVW trailer with no problem at all. Please note that this is not a minivan or an economy car. Highway mileage is 15-16 mpg without a trailer and about 13 mpg with. Local is about 12-13 mpg. If you have access to non-ethanol gas, you can add 3 mpg to each number. With its long wheel base, the ride is very comfortable and handling is very stable. This is a PA vehicle and passed state inspection last week. With the seats out-and yes, they all come with the van-you can fit almost anything inside the 12' "cargo" area. You can put as many seats in-and in any configuration-as you need. If you need space for hauling or to move people, this is the van for you. Sports teams could put players inside and equipment in a trailer behind. The only reason I am selling is that I'm getting too old to bend over in this regular height van. I'm moving to a truck with a slide in. All that I've told has been the good news; now the bad. Before I owned the van, someone, somehow, put a dent in the front bumper. I tried to show it in the pictures; if you look close, you can see it. It's just to the right of center and about the size of a baseball dent. That's all the bad news. I do not have a "Buy it now" price, however, I just ran the numbers through the NADA and Kelley Blue Books. NADA trade in for this clean van is $13,350 (couldn't find any other price except retail). Kelley's private party-"excellent" and "good" averaged $14,000. The winning bid would have to be somewhere in this neighborhood. TERMS: $2000 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit through PayPal within 48 hours of auction's close. Balance due within 7 days of close, either with Cashier's check, money order or cash. Transport is the responsibility of the buyer. I will help in arranging transport if you wish. If you can make the trip, you are welcome to come to Northeast PA and see the van. Any questions, please contact me through eBay and I will respond ASAP. Again, thank you for looking.
