Go down to Elmwood and have a look at it? Don't knock yourself out, but have a look/see if there are any major issues with it.
I shall too be heading up on the 19th weekend to check it out.

Thanx tonnes,

I'll have a look for you tomorrow.Then I'll let you know,I'll take it out for a test drive,you can get away with murder when you drive on a car lot with a bimmer...lol.

worked my way over to the car lot... got held up by the little ladys shopping. I will try again as I'm heading that way again tomorrow.

dean · 02-10-2005 11:45 AM

I'm heading over to take a look see.... today

the price of $6700.00 seems pretty high for this 1994 full size van.
no rust, no dents, motor has oil leaks, never greased, tire's fair with no sign of wear on the outter edges, glass is good, does not look like it was painted, inter is some thing to see. if it's going to be a work van its OK. the speed-o shows 122,000 but its missing one digeit. If I were going to buy this from the sharks which are trying to run this used wrech lot, my offer would be $2900.
Good luck

Thanx Dean.Your report pretty much answers it for me.It doesnt sound good.I had planned on using the van as a weekend camper.

What did you mean by the interior was something to see...as in it was bad...or good?

The missing digit...are you thinking the speedo was tampered with and it has many more km. than posted?

Your thoughts on offering so much less than asked, plus the $tealers not sounding like reputable fellows too raised a flag.

I probably won't go for it,but if you could answer the above 2 questions and or add any more thoughts,that would be great.

reputable dealer... ????? you know the guy. I'm not going too mislead anyone, but don't let this sales person into your home.
it looks to me a buck is a buck. Inter/well someone started to make a camper van out of this, but stopped after spending $115.00 can dollars
If you stand back 200 feet you'll see a large body van. If you get closer and have vision, you can do anything.

God bless
Good hunting and fishing

Dean

**canadianhunting** · 02-10-2005 09:32 PM

speed-o only has 6 not 7 digits, so who can tell real mileage

**freeheelin** · 02-10-2005 10:45 PM

helping me out.It doesnt look as if I will be buying that particular van.I should have known better....Save money and buy private,rather than from a $tealer.

Lesson learned,thankfully not the hard way:)

Again....thankyou.

Grant.
