That one's pretty stripped down.. no bumpers, water, cooktop, roof rack, heat, etc... and still $65k.

What is the approx value of the diesel heater?
And a Diesel cooktop?

Proabably $500 each.. but then you gotta install them, which would be another $1000 or more. And then you're not buying a turnkey van, you're buying a project. Which at this price range, I'm guessing most people don't want!

All used Sportsmobiles are a project. I don't care what the previous owner says. Some are big projects and some are small. None are "bulletproof" especially when they have all the aftermarket gizmos added.

All (used and new) SMBs need maintenance and repairs, true. It's like buying a yacht. But all don't need improvements.

And ones that have already had reputable and costly repairs and improvements to a 6.0 will need less costly repairs in the future.

Always makes me scratch my head when people show photos of their giant smelly dogs or their rigs driving through salt water/sand in their for sale ads.

in negotiations with the owner now. Let's see what happens. Out of respect to the owner, I won't discuss price on the forum until a deal is made or I move on elsewhere.

Best wishes to you. I hope it works out in the best of all possible ways. 8:

Yeah same here and also if you get a chance to inspect it before said sale is completed check the frame for rust and also inspect the rain gutters and wear marks where the penthouse sits. Pop that baby up and make sure there's no hidden rust holes.

I flew 900 miles with a cashier's check in my pocket to buy my rig. Good luck!:d3:

I agree but it is a Sportsmobile so I see both sides. I only want my dog smell in a van, not someone else's, especially for that kind of money!

Brought home Agnes!

We pulled the trigger and purchased Agnes from Alta825. He took great care of her and she is everything we wanted!

2002 EB51, 7.3 diesel, U Joint stage 2 4x4

The 6.0 I originally posted about didn't work out...

Thank you to Glider and all the others here for your help! Much appreciated.

Aloha
