**********RELEISTED- IM NOT GOING TO GIVE IT AWAY FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN MY RESERVE OF $4300. WE WILL KEEP IT AS AN EXTRA/DEPENDABLE VEHICLE. I WILL ADD A BUY IT NOW THIS TIME. THIS IS THE 2ND AND THE LAST TIME I WILL RELIST. THANKS, KEVIN UP FOR SALE IS MY 1999 GMC SAFARI AWD (ALL-WHEEL-DRIVE) CONVERSION VAN. ITS GREEN IN COLOR AND HAS A GENEVA SVS CONVERSION PACKAGE ON IT. THE INTERIOR IS GRAY. I WILL DESCRIBE THE DRIVE TRAIN, THE BODY, THE INTERIOR, THE SUSPENSION, AND WHAT IT DOES AND DOES NOT NEED. THE VAN IS NICE AND DOES TURN HEADS FOR BEING A VAN. IT'S NOT PERFECT AND HAS A FEW MINOR FLAWS, BUT IS A REAL NICE VAN. THIS IS DESCRIBED HONESTLY AND TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE. THE VEHICLE IS AS-IS AND NO WARRANTY IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. KBB HAS THE VAN WITHOUT, AND I REPEAT, WITHOUT THE CONVERSION PKG LISTED AT $5500. VAN IS WORTH MORE, BUT I WILL LET THE AUCTION TAKE OVER. I WILL SET THE RESERVE AND YOU CAN DO THE REST. HERE IS MY FAMILY'S VAN. -THE DRIVE TRAIN. THE ENGINE STARTS UP AND RUNS VERY, VERY SMOOTH EVERYTIME. IT HAS A NEWER ALTERNATOR. THE VAN HAS 124,XXX MILES ON IT AND TO MY KNOWLEDGE IS ALL ORIGINAL. IT PURRS SMOOTHLY AND DOES VERY WELL. I ONLY USE SHELL ROTELLA 15W-40 ALONG WITH LUCAS OIL ADDITIVE. IT DOES NOT LEAK AND IS KNOWN ON 'WARDS BEST 10 LIST' TO BE ONE OF THE MOST DURABLE ENGINES EVER MADE. IT IS ACTUALLY A GM 350 V-8, CUT DOWN 2-CYLINDERS TO MAKE A V-6. A BIG V-6 (4.3 VORTEC). IT EVEN HAS THE SAME BORE AND STROKE AS A V-8 350 IF MEMORY SERVES CORRECT. THE ENGINE HAS NO KNOWN ISSUES AND EVEN THOUGH I CANNOT WARRANT IT, I WOULD DRIVE IT AND MY FAMILY TO CALIFORNIA AND BACK AND FEEL SAFE. AS A POLICE OFFICER, I CAN TRULY STATE THAT WITHOUT ANY HESITATION! JUST CHECK OUT MY FEEDBACK.(100% AND HAVE BEEN ON HERE ALMOST 10 YEARS!) THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, FILTER AND GASKET WERE CHANGED ABOUT 12-15K AGO AND GM TYPE FLUID WAS USED AS WELL AS LUCAS TRANSMISSION ADDITIVE. TRANSMISSION WORKS/SHIFTS LIKE A CHARM, TORQUE CONVERTER ENGAGES AS IT SHOULD AND THE TRANNY HAS NO KNOWN ISSUES. I LOVE LUCAS AND ALSO SWEAR BY IT! THE AWD SYSTEM WAS SERVICED, BY ME, USING GM AUTO-TRAK II FLUID AND...YES YOU GUESSED IT, LUCAS ADDITIVE. THE AWD SYSTEM WORKS LIKE A BREEZE AND IS MORE THAN ADEQUATE IN THE SNOW/SLIPPERY SURFACES. IT ALSO HAS NO KNOWN ISSUES. THE FRONT AND REAR DIFFERENTIALS WERE SERVICED ON 03/25/2010 USING LUCAS DIFF. FLUIDS AND THEY SHIFT WITHOUT ANY 'CLUNKING" OF ANY KIND. THEY ALSO HAVE NO KNOWN ISSUES. THE REAR GEARS ARE 3:73 RATIO AND ARE MADE FOR PULLING. THE VAN HAS A 6100 GVWR. IT ALSO HAS THE TOW PACKAGE, PROPERLY WIRED-WIRES, AND A FACTORY TRAILER HITCH FROM THE FACTORY AS WELL AS TOW MIRRORS. IT PULLS MY 21' BASS BOAT VERY EASILY. -THE BODY. THE PAINT SHINES, BUT DOES HAVE SOME NICKS AND PARKING LOT DINGS. NO BODY DAMAGE OR DENTS OTHER THAN THE AFOREMENTIONED DINGS. IT DOES HAVE A SCRATCH ON THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WHEEL FENDER IN WHICH I HAVE TAKEN THE LIBERTY OF GIVING U A UP-CLOSE PHOTO OF. THE DECAL ON THE DRIVER SIDE THAT RUNS THE LENGTH OF THE VAN HAS SOME 'PEEL' TYPE MARKS. I WENT THROUGH A CAR WASH! A VERY HIGH PRESSURED ONE, AND IT DONE THIS. I ALSO HAVE SOME PHOTOS OF IT. I ALSO ORDERED NEW DECALS TO REPLACE THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AND THEY WILL COME WITH THE VAN. THESE ARE NOT THE CHEAP ONES, AS THEY CAME FROM A CONVERSION VAN SUPPLY COMPANY. JUST INSTALL THEM AND BE ON YOUR WAY. NO BIGGIE, AGAIN THEY COME WITH THE VAN. PAINT DOES SHINE, BUT HAS SOME NORMAL WEAR. YOU HAVE TO LOOK CLOSE TO FIND 95% OF THE BLEMISHES. VAN LOOKS BETTER THAN AVERAGE. RIMS LOOK GOOD TOO AND SHINE. MAY HAVE SOME SCUFFS ON THE UNDERNEATH OF THE RUNNING BOARDS, BUT THEY LOOK GOOD (A FEW SMALL PAINT CHIPS). -THE INTERIOR. THE INTERIOR LOOKS GREAT. I STEAM CLEANED THE CARPETS YESTERDAY AND IT NOT ONLY LOOKS GREAT, BUT SMELLS OH-SO-GREAT AS WELL. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL DIME SIZED SPOTS, BUT AGAIN, YOU WOULD BE ON YOUR HANDS AND KNEES WITH ONE EYE CLOSED TO FIND THEM, JUST TO BE HONEST THOUGH I WOULD POINT THEM OUT( ONE IS UNDER A CHAIR AND ONE MUST GET UNDER IT TO SEE IT. SEATS ARE LEATHER AND HAVE A FEW SCUFFS ON THEM, BUT NO RIPS NOR TEARS. LOOKS VERY NICE. THE VCR WORKS AS IT SHOULD. THE TV WORKS AS IT SHOULD, BUT SOMETIMES ONE OF THE BUTTONS FALL BACK INSIDE AND YOU HAVE TO PULL IT OUT. DOESNT EFFECT THE TV, JUST AGGRAVATING. WHEN IT DOES FALL BACK INSIDE YOU CAN STILL USE IT BY HITTING THE BUTTON, COSMETIC ONLY. THE TV HAS IT'S OWN SPEAKERS AND THEY SOUND NICE AND HAS A REMOTE. ALL THE LIGHTING WORKS AS IT SHOULD AS WELL AS THE REAR AIR/FAN. THE BACK SEAT IS ELECTRIC AND FOLDS DOWN TO A BED. THERE IS A CD PLAYER IN THE REAR THAT IS NICE, BUT WE NEVER USE IT. MY KIDS ARE 1 AND 4, THEY ONLY WATCH THE MOVIE THAT IS ON THE FLIGHT! ALL THE WOOD-LIKE TRIM SHINES AND NO CRACKS. THERE ARE AUDIO PLUGS AND 12VOLT ADAPTERS THROUGHOUT THE VAN. THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR GOES UP AND DOWN, BUT YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK IT FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE ONLY. THE REST OF THE VAN INCLUDING THE KEYLESS ENTRY WILL LOCK IT, THE UP AND DOWN LOCK BUTTON SOMETIMES WORKS. NO CLUE. AGAIN, JUST THE DRIVERS SIDE. LOCK IT MANUALLY, OR FROM ANOTHER PART OF THE VAN. NO BIGGIE! THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW ALSO WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. IT ALWAYS GOES DOWN HALFWAY AND THEN TAKES ITS OWN SLOW TIME COMING BACK UP. MAY NEED A NEW MOTOR OR REGULATOR. IT WORKED THE ENTIRE TIME WE WERE ON VACATION, AND THEN STARTED ACTING UP WHEN WE GOT HOME. AGAIN, A WINDOW MOTOR USED IS $30. NO BIGGIE THERE. THE REAR WEATHER STRIP FOR THE LIFTGATE FELL OFF AND NEEDS TO BE RE-GLUED. I HAVE NEVER PUT IT BACK ON AND WAS NOT ON WHEN I BOUGHT IT. NO WIND NOISE OR LEAKS, BUT IT SHOULD BE RE-INSTALLED JUST BECAUSE. NO PROBS THERE EITHER. -THE SUSPENSION- THE REAR SHOCKS HAVE ABOUT 10K ON THEM AND ARE THE HEAVY DUTY MONROE'S. THE FRONT ARE BAD AND I WILL INCLUDE 2 NEW ONES WITH IT. IF I HAVE TIME I WILL INSTALL, AGAIN ONLY IF I HAVE TIME I CANNOT MAKE PROMISES. YOU CAN HEAR THE SHOCKS BOTTOM OUT WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP. THEY ARE DEFIANTLY BAD. AGAIN THEY WILL ATLEAST COME WITH THE VAN AND BE NEW, AND MAYBE BE INSTALLED. THE TIRES ARE REAL NEW AND ONLY HAVE ABOUT 10K ON ALL 4. THEY ARE MILESTAR TIRES AND WERE $400. THATS MY COST!***THE TIRES HAVE A WARRANTY THAT WILL COME WITH IT*****! THE FRONT END WAS ALIGNED AND THEY HAVE NO PATCHWORK IN/ON THEM. TIRES ARE ALMOST NEW. THE SUSPENSION WAS JUST GREASED AND HAS NO KNOWN FLAWS. THE FRONT BRAKES ARE GOOD AND THE REAR WERE REPLACED ON 12/24/2009. THE REAR DRUMS WERE RESURFACED ON SAID DATE AS WELL. TO RECAP. THE VAN WILL COME WITH THE DECALS( BOTH SIDES), NEW FRONT SHOCKS, MAYBE INSTALLED MAYBE NOT. THE FRONT DRIVERS DOOR ACTUATOR WORKS, JUST THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON SOMETIMES GOES ON VACATION AND DOES NOT WORK. THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW DOES WORK AND GOES UP AND DOWN, BUT SOMETIMES TAKES A FEW MINUTES TO GO ALL THE WAY UP. HAS NEVER LEFT US STRANDED. GET A USED ONE FOR $30.00. THE T.V BUTTON SOMETIMES NEED PUT IN THE RIGHT SPOT. THIS IS COSMETIC ONLY. WHO CARES. I DO TO BE HONEST AND THATS WHY I FIX IT WHEN IT DOES GET PUSHED BACK TO FAR. REAR HATCH WEATHER STRIP. FELL OFF BEFORE I GOT, JUST NEVER CARED BEACUSE IT DOESNT LEAK WATER OR WIND NOISE. IT'S UP TO YOU. DECALS COME WITH VAN AND ARE NICE HEAVY DUTY CONVERSION/CHROME ONES. NOT FROM WALMART, BUT FROM AN ONLINE CONVERSION VAN PARTS STORE. BOTH SIDES. VEHICLE IS REAL NICE AND I'M NOT GOING TO GIVE IT AWAY. SELLING TO BUY A VAN WITH A V-8 BECAUSE OF US PURCHASING A LARGE CAMPER, OTHERWISE WE WOULD KEEP IT. VAN HAS ALOT OF RECEIPTS. NOT SELLING DUE TO DIVORCE, LOOSING JOB (THANK GOD), OR BECAUSE I'M HURTING FOR THE MONEY, SO NO SCAMS, LO-BALLS, OR GARBAGE. BEEN IN LAW-ENFORCEMENT FOR 10 YEARS. I CAN SMELL CRAP WHEN I'M PRESENTED WITH IT! THIS VAN IS NICE, SAFE, AND NEEDS VIRTUALLY NOTHING(THAT I KNOW OF) BUT THE ABOVE LISTED PETTY THINGS. BUYER WILL SIGN AN 'AS IS' AGREEMENT (FREE, I'M NOT A DEALER) BEFORE DRIVING AWAY. ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL ME. PAYPAL OR CASH ONLY. PREFERABLY PAY PAL. ***VAN NEEDS A GOOD HOME. SOMEONE WITH A FAMILY WOULD BE NICE AND SOMEONE THAT WILL USE QUALITY PARTS WHEN NEEDED, LIKE LUCAS! I'M NOT A LUCAS EMPLOYEE...LOL. THANKS FOR LOOKING AT MY FAMILY'S, FAMILY VAN. KEVIN
