Testing the waters...
Before retirement i played with the idea of putting the Express AWD van up for sale. I'm glad i didn't go through with it as it was an integral part of the fun adventures my wife and i had through last year. At which point we decided to settle into our Tiny House and the van is no longer used except for resupply runs into town.
So i'm asking for a wee bit of help from the community...
The rig is in really good shape inside and out, and mechanically sound. It just had a bumper to bumper at the local dealership at the 66,000 mile mark (yes it is low miles!) and had _ ALL _ fluids replaced and received a clean bill of health and the usual "Wow" factor comments from the staff. ($1K shop bill)
Now doing a quick KBB i come up with a range for the plain AWD with 66K miles of ~13.5K to ~16.5K price range.
As some have followed the build, this is a partial list of what it has:
Van Specialties of Portland Oregon:
FiberineTop, maxAir, interior upfit (~$9.5K )
Aluminess bumpers front and back with two rear boxes ($7.5K)
Boulder Off Road suspension upgrade and 2.5" lift ($2.7K)
Revelco Anti-Theft pro-install ($500)
Mic Interior mods ($950)
Misc Exterior mods ($1.2K)
Rhino Lining pro-install on Running boards and wells/trim ($750)
265 oversized BFG KO2 on FUEL rims with a measured 3/16" tread ($2K)
Approximate total of mods (yes i kept receipts) ~25K I have a $25K rider on the State Farm policy i carry on the Van.
Here is a link to an updated build thread at my blog:

With all that, realizing any owner has a Rosy Eyed view of their rig, what should i ask for the rig? I'm thinking that adding 11K onto the high of ~16K (it really is a beauty of a rig) and asking a fairly? firm $27K is reasonable? Any intelligent and thoughtful comments are appreciated.
Many thanks in advance!
Post Script Edit note: the morning after i posted this i decided to find all the receipts i kept on the build and updated the original list.
