Subject: Am I asking too much for my van?
Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
I'm asking $4500 for it, and here's what it is.

Engine: 2.1L waterboxer, heads recently replaced (195K), CB Performance 1.25
ratio rockers, custom intake with K&N filter, custom exhaust (carsound cat
and magnaflow 2.25" muffler), NOLOGY ignition coil booster, Setrab 10 row
air/oil cooler with thermostatic sandwhich plate in addition to factory
water/oil cooler, Valvoline VR1 20W50 racing oil
Transmission/Clutch: 4 speed, 84 model year rebuild from Rancho Performance
(very good rebuilders), they told me it was the strongest factory 4 speed
for the vanagons (only ~15K on the rebuild), clutch replaced at the same
time (Sachs)
Suspension: front/rear properly aligned, front ball joints in good order,
springs in good condition, Monroe gas shocks
Brakes: front pads recently replaced (PBR Metal Masters), rears about half
worn on the shoes (Raybestos)
Wheels/Tires: 16x7.5 Ronal 7 spokes (silver), Kumho Ecsta 711 in
225/50VR16 - about 5000 miles left on them, these tires only last about
25-30K miles at the most on this vehicle since it's so heavy but the
handling is worth it
Body/Paint: Front bumper needs some work, Rear bumper just
straightened/painted from recent rear end accident (minor damage), 2 rust
areas in window seal/seam on windshield by driver wiper arm and lower rear
corner of drivers side sliding window, slight body damage on left rear
fender lip and right front (barely noticeable), clear coat on front facia
peeling in some areas, paint is in good condition
Glass: Drivers side low beam and Passenger side high beam cracked, no hole
just cracks, taped up, Windshield recently replaced - slight tint, all other
windows not cracked, SolarGuard Tint - Charcoal, 40% on the fronts and 4% on
everything back of that.
Interior: Grey velour surfaces, driver's seat has about 4 inch round tear in
seat cushion on left side, and rear bench back has small 2 inch slit in
middle (not noticeable) otherwise clean and no smell, rubber floormats in
good condition except for small tear in area between front seats (black duct
taped and glued), rear facing jump seats are missing side plastic aesthetic
coverings, all seat belts working and in good condition, rear overhead AC
duct slightly cracked (was replaced on recall and then broke again), AC not
functioning, (compressor removed, not sure what the problem is), Front foot
area heater control lever stuck (flap mechanism needs repair), heater works
fine, custom gauges installed (VDO tachometer in stalk mounted cup next to
instrument cluster, VDO voltage and 80psi oil pressure gauges mounted in
plate underneath heater controls), aluminum brake and clutch pedals pads
Sound System: JVC KS-RT626 tape player head unit (CD changer hookup
available), BOSS AVA-1208P Preamp (MAIN Vol, Fader, Sub EQ/Vol, 4 band
parametric EQ), MTX4300 4 channel amp, MTX 2300 2 channel amp, Polk Audio
Speakers (4 EX402a - 4" coax, 4 db6520 - 6.5" coax, 1 MOMO 12" 4ohm
subwoofer), Lightning Audio 1 farad stiffening cap, Monster Cable wiring
throughout
I have had this van since 1995, it had about 90K miles on it and was
basically stock. Most of the modifications were done by me. The engine oil
has been changed every 3K miles and the coolant flushed as needed. It is
currently my daily driver. I am in Southern California, PLEASE email me if
interested, price is negotiable!
