IMPORTANT: If you do not get in touch with me quickly after the purchase (say, within a few hours) and preferably by phone (# at bottom), I will be re-listing the van soon after...it would 'appear?' someone is playing games (there are a few similarities), the van has been bought twice...both times without response afterward. Either way, this is why I must ask you to make immediate contact, I am sure you can understand. Thank you. (use the link at the bottom of the page to see all the pictures). 2004 Chevy Express LS full size (not extended body), 12 passenger van, modified inside (to a lesser degree) to a 5 passenger. I bought it new with a list price of $32,700, it has a $2800 1SB extra package with power options and other extras (I show the original sticker price window tag and other factory paperwork, showing all options, in the pictures). The van has 128,817 miles on it, I have never had any problem with the engine, drive train or anything major except for the transmission...in case it matters, it went very quickly...within 100? miles after showing signs. The only reason I am not fixing it is because I just dont have the money and I dont need the work aspect of the van anymore. The 6.0 Liter Vortec motor has been regularly serviced at about 6,000 mile intervals. The brakes were recently done completely (every single break part was replaced! at the cost of $2200, by a long time trusted mechanic), this was only needed due to the weight I was carrying. It had normal break work done a bit sooner than usual but again, the weight was a factor, there is nothing wrong with them and all functions of the van are fine at this point, its ready to go, after the transmission, of course.It is a 1 ton or a 3500 (the heaviest load capacity available) and I believe it has heavy duty spring as well, it is not tired, it still sits as new. The motor is very strong, even with all the weight, it was very powerful. The rear end is heavy duty locking and has a 3.73 gear ratio and leaks no oil, nor does the engine or transmission, now or ever. The engine starts right up, sounds normal, the muffler system was also largely replaced fairly recently and there are no odd sounds coming from the motor or anywhere else (you can start it up when you look at it of course). I always had whatever it needed done right away. The only other problem is with the side doors, I had them fixed once and was only charged $100 (but apparently that was because it was a quick fix which didnt last that long). Apparently they need hinge pins, the hinges are not bent or damaged (so it shouldn't be a very expensive repair) but the gap between the doors is very close and I dont use them because it got so difficult to get them closed after a while...I recommend not opening them until you are ready to fix the problem. I even disengaged the locks (just by blocking the connection in the door jamb) so they wouldnt unlock and get opened. I dont believe there needs to be any body work done except maybe touch up the hinges after the repair. That is one of the extras that come with the van, a spray can of the same paint color. In fact I show a touch up in the pics over the back wheel well which just started to rust due to a past scrape (I didnt even bondo it, I just sanded it) and you dont even see it unless you really look. There havent been any accidents requiring body work, just bumper related stuff...The headlights had that typical haze which reduces the brightness so I just installed new headlights and all the lights work. I replaced the wipers, the battery was fairly new but I am told when it sits and is not used all the time that it could be dead. When I hook up the jumper cables it starts right up after a minutes time. There is only one key but I have spare remote start/lock remotes as well as the original key-less entry remotes. I have all paperwork to everything, Stereo parts, radio, amps, speakers, roof racks etc., as well as the vans manual and other paperwork. The van, being a 12 passenger, had rear rear A/C and heat in separate units with separate switches. The heater took up important space in the back (and neither was needed anyway) and the A/C unit which was located inside the rear doors on the ceiling and I couldnt stand up sheets of plywood so I had to remove that as well. The removal of these 2 units was done professionally and the systems were adjusted under the hood to allow for the removed units. This was done soon after I bought it and I have never had any problem with the heat or A/C at all. Because the A/C unit was removed, there is a piece of the head lining missing inside the rear doors, which doesnt affect anything..that is shown in the pictures too. Here are some other details which only really pertain if you intend to use the van...there is a nice Nevlen metal cabinet/rack on the left side, there are 24 drawers some I sectioned off with the supplied dividers but I caulked them in so that nails or whatever dont creep under and mix (you can see those in one of the pics too), there are a couple new extra drawers and extra dividers. The cabinet is very secure I did a good job on the install and I just made sure the screws were all tightened up as well. Also to avoid anyone seeing all the tools in the cabinet (even though the glass is already dark), I painted the inside of the long rear window black, it does not show from the outside, or the inside for that matter. This latex paint would come off with a razor blade easy enough and I did it neatly in case it wasnt needed anymore. There is a full size spare under the rear or the van, the jack is all there and an additional 4-way tire iron.The rear brake lights have been replaced with aftermarket lights...One light broke and it was too difficult to find a replacement and too costly to buy one from the dealer...I think they are a nice touch myself. You will see under the same right taillight on the plastic corner a small piece missing from when it broke.The rear door handle from the inside is loose, maybe broken but still works, and the rear door panels which I had removed and stored could stand some new clips or a few small screws if you wanted it to hold on better, it doesnt fall of but is loose (I can do that if you want...with small screws that is). The body is nice but there are a few minor dents but they arent big enough to stand out really, you can see every part of the van in the pictures. There is no rust to speak of, the front bumper is dented but I straightened it out and evened it up, and it can be replaced, of course, though fixing it is not necessary (see pics). The interior is very clean and complete, no damage etc., the cloth drivers seat isnt even ripped...On the passenger side airbag the dash is bubbled a bit, it came like that from the factory. Basically I took very good care of the van, I never even got stuck with a breakdown. Also see in the pictures you will see all extra stuff that will be included, all the paperwork for anything to do with the van (racks, stereo etc), there is even a wheel cap which I pulled a lug cap from to replace one that was lost. The 'System One' roof rack system is top shelf, I paid $600 for the rack system itself and it served me well. It is all aluminum and stainless steel which is why it is still so nice. It is not rated to fill up with tons of weight like pressure treated lumber but I have carried plenty of quite heavy loads decking etc. (more than it is rated for). The thing is to keep the weight away from the middle as much as possible keep it more to the sides. It has 4 ratcheting tie downs which are easy to use, quick and effective. It comes with 4 wrenches...I show inside the drivers door, where I store one wrench on each side, they fit perfectly in this spot and are easy to get and you always have one on either side. I also have all the optional parts that I didnt use, ladder pegs etc. As for payment...cash is of course preferred..also, please dont attempt to pick things apart to get the agreed price down, I just wont do it. I am located in Woburn MA 01801 Phone: Dave 617 780 9879 and I am available most anytime to come see the van. Dont hesitate to ask any questions and feel free to make an offer (as long as it is not ridiculous) you never know. Thanks for looking. Pictures: 2004 Chevy Van
