1996 Sportsmobile E350 7.3 lifted 2wd - $19,500

I think this was listed here once or twice before. The seller received it as payment on a debt or something? I cant remember, but it looks familiar. I'll try to find the thread that I'm thinking of.

Sweet rig!
Q: Is this the same SMB that has been listed/sold a couple times, but with curious odometer questions?

IIRC, (if this is indeed the same one).....this same SMB had listed/sold once before right here on the forum from a member, and then subsequently it sold *again*....but curiously (and impossibly) with a lower odo reading in the second sale/listing than when the SMB member first sold it.

The odo reading that this current craigslist ad shows is more on-par with that lower, second-sale reading. Again, IIRC, the discrepancy was pretty big --- original seller indicated something well over 200k miles, where this listing (and the one before it) show ~170k. Unless that was a different (and almost identical-looking) rig.

Either way --- one very cool 7.3 machine.

There it is -- okay thanks gcvt....nice to see that my memory is actually on-point for once, lol!
Hope whomever buys this is at least able to get some sort of explanation/solid verification of actual mileage somehow.

From that SMB forum link:
original mileage listed when jbsails sold it: 211,000.
subsequent seller (and current seller) listed mileage: 170,000.

sale 1:
211,000 miles...
sale 2:
170,000 miles....
now once again for sale 3:
still 170,000 miles
(*after* the current seller claims they drove "thousands of miles" with it since they bought it...)

Looks nice! What year did smb do the interior? Looks newer than my 99. Miles?

It was factory from SMB as far as I can tell and from what the original manuals indicate. The mileage is 211,000. My mechanic is a 7.3L specialist and has gone through this motor thoroughly and it has been well maintained by prior owner.

This is near me. Can go look at it if anyone is interested in it.

It's all very strange, but still seems like a decent van.. I'd do some serious research on it though..
