This is what we call the good, the bad & the ugly! It's a 2000 Chevy van loaded w/ith four leather captain seats w/ lumbar, power everything, 80% tread on tires. It's in good mechanical shape w/ a newly rebuilt engine with less than 20,000 miles. It blew a piston at 92,000 miles and had to be rebuilt from the bottom up. The exterior is good although it has some issues. Originally purchased as a full top of the line conversion van by Explorer. It had all the low flaring trim all around it but was removed as it was just plastic & wears out after so many years. You will see all the rivet holes around the lower body frame although they are very small. The rear bumper has been backed into & it shows. However, I have had this looked at & the brackets are not bent so it can be unbolted & another one bolted on for under $300.00. There are some minor scratches, dings associated w/ it's age but nothing outside of normal. The interior is clean but front drivers seat shows the most wear on the leather. The wood trim in the back has faded from, I believe, heat as it has spent most of it's life in Florida. Overall it's in very good condition w/ a rear sofa that automatically folds down to a flat bed. All window treatments are in perfect shape. That's a basic description & the pictures will show most of that. I'll tell you what the van is & isn't in my honest opinion. This is good solid transportation for a church group, volunteer organization such as meals on wheels, or a large family with several children. It can accommodate six passengers at once w/ a driver. I have driven it up north on several trips & would have no concerns. It needs some TLC but mostly cosmetic. It's a nice ride for long trips & has the ability to let you stretch out in back if so desired. What it's not anymore is a state of the art, top of the line, luxury cruiser. It is 12 yrs old & shows some but still has a lot of life left especially mechanically if someone wishes to give it that little attention it needs. With that said, this is going NO RESERVE to whoever bids the highest. N.A.D.A book value is around $4,000 without the conversion!! You are welcome to come take a look w/ a scheduled appt. Please contact through email to set that up. I do have it for sale locally so I am reserving the right to pull the ad if it sells during this auction. I would love to see someone get this inexpensively & do some good for their community. Happy bidding & good luck to all!!
