I'm sure I'm forgetting some items. This van has taken me and my fiancé all over California and throughout most of baja without issue. The 4x4 has saved our butts a few times in sand. It's a simple functional platform to get you and all of your toys wherever you like to go. Cruises at 75MPH and gets 15-18MPG. It's been used, and it's not as pretty as the Sportsmobiles I see around (hence the lower price- even with lower miles). There are a few dents, there are scratches, and imperfections I haven't cared to fix. It could use general upkeep, but its mechanics are in prime condition. Just back from 1500 miles to baja without a hitch. The interior layout has served us perfectly--it's wonderful for two people and a lot of toys, but it's not an upholstered motorhome--I think of it as utilitarian. There is a row of seating to go along if the van's future owner likes. This van is driven once a week to keep its systems good condition. It's never been my daily driver- it holds the driveway down until it's time to load up and go somewhere. . . which is something I'm doing less and less.
I'm asking $29500 or best offer--no trades, cash only. If you're interested, please leave a phone number, and I'll get back to you promptly.Thanks for looking!
