This is our old work van here for sale. It runs good. has always been serviced at aprox 3000 miles or less since we bought it. It does have a lot of hwy miles but most are long road trips we ran for out of town vending routes. Tires still ok, Interior is pretty good except for the drivers seat as you can see in the pics , we just stuffed it with rags or newspapers and used a seat cover. Fuel gauge does not work, it shows full all the time. This van was used as a service vehicle before we purchased it in aprox 2004 and we have used it on our routes up until 2011 when we bought a new van. This lil van has just been sitting around collecting dust except for an ocassional delivery or a quick store run. We still have it licensed and insured, but hardly ever use it any more. so here it is up for sale. Here is a list of things I can think of that we have done to it since our purchase. Transmission was replaced in aprox 2006, 1 Torque convertor, Rear end was replaced in aprox 2009, Radiator was removed and clean and had and new end cap replaced .It has had 2 water pumps replaced , 4 Fuel pumps a few emission sensors over the years , 2 power steering pumps replaced, 2 Alternators replaced, 1 front pass side front rotor replaced, 1 windshild replaced due to rock from a big truck on hwy, It does need a new outside door handle for the passenger front door.. These handles are an issues with these vans. The handle on the drivers door was replace aprox a year ago but still needs adjustment or replacement, but it does work. The Air conditioner does work but has a freon leak that really should be fixed but we just recharged it a few times during the summers. The vacum tubes for heat and air are out of sorts so we have to change a couple of line postions to go from heat to a/c. May need a new battery as last time aprox 2 weeks ago, It cranked up fine but had to get a jump at destination, drove it home and turned it off, waited a few minutes and it cranked up fine. Next time I checked when taking these pictures It was dead again. so it may need a battery or the cables cleaned , I have not looked at it since. This is not a perfect vehicle but does run and drive fine. I would still trust it to run one of our 1000+ mile routes yet. It does have a rack for ladders, or whatever you may strap on the top. With all thats been done, it should last a good while yet. It has some scratches and dings but as far as I know it has never been wrecked , at least not while I have owned it. Nope ... its not perfect but we're not pricing it for perfect. Any other questions... feel free to ask , I'll tell you what I can.
