Very conflicted sale! But, I’m no longer single, my kid is in college, and I need a slightly larger rig for my gal and I.
I’ve owned this gem of a van for 11 memorable years. It had 88K miles on it when I purchased it and has 121K now.
Fanatical professional maintenance has been the norm, and it’s been stored indoors when not in use.
Exterior and interior are in exceptional condition compared to most.
