Sure. I have since pulled the add down where much was covered. This is a nice van, but certainly not an over the top build, and with the 5.4, a lower price is to be expected. The main detracting points would be as follows; Body - one crease/dent on the drivers side, and 3-4 smaller dings. Some minor scratches, zero rust. But still shows quite well. Mechanically the only issue of significance is a occasional shimmy on braking. Rarely. The biggest issue folks see with the condition is the interior. The original SMB interior was horrible. One could not change clothes inside without everyone else getting out. It was that bad and overbuilt (I think the PO aspired to be a plumber or something). No room at all. Our needs required it to actually serve somewhat as, well a van, and carry stuff. So we rebuild it to fit our needs and reduced the buildout inside. Wanted to actually be able to prepare nice meals so put in a 6' countertop. That kind of stuff. Most of the systems were left untouched with the exception of items that were simply done wrong.
SMB buyers and fans are for sure a particular breed, and originally matters. I can respect that, having restored a lot of cars in my time. So some devaluation here is expected as well. The funny part is, having been one of the few to "look behind the curtain" on the interior, the SMB interior workmanship is honestly not that great. Perhaps it's my years of messing around in boats, but lots of things were simply not up to crack. While I think what I have in place is better, I am fine with the fact the market will see otherwise, and tried to price accordingly.
That said, I probably could have gotten a better price had circumstances allowed me to wait for a higher $$ buyer. It sold quick, and maybe 12-15 inquiries the first day alone. But I seem to have found an awesome buyer, and I can move onto other things that better suite my needs now, so all good.
