Looks horrible relatively speaking to what we are sued to around here. head gasket as well as other things are leaking. Broken exhaust manifold close to the head. Atypical dark brown shred-o-roy interior which is in horrible shape. Has 179K miles on the odo. Dog hairs everywhere. Dented in about twenty different places. Gold in color. Brakes are in bad shape per mechanics report. Will not pass smog in it;s present condition. Rotors, caps , etc. need replacement. Seller told me it passes smog. Found out upon inspection that smog cert he is talking about was from last year when he renewed registration. Someone stole the current reg. stickers so you will definitely need to reg to get a new one. That will be challenging if you cannot pass smog. If you reg, you will need to get a junking certificate if you plan on parting out. Bottomline is you will get stuck with the liability to get a junking certificate. That cost about $200. You will need to ask yourself if a van with a bad body except glass and one front door is worth about $400. The engine is definitely a core. Trans is OK. No power options. AC is DOA despite representations that it is only the belt. bumpers are toast. There are much better deals out here IMHO. BenT |
