But read the customer testimonials!

"A week after I got my van, I took it from Valencia, CA all the way to 
Phenox, AZ and it drove like a champ! On one of the 12 hour streches, I 
looked down to see how fast my Westy was going. I was astonished to see the 
90 MPH read out."

I'd get that speedometer adjusted if I was him. It's lying pretty hard! PS: 
it's spelled "Phoenix". I don't know which is worse. Him misspelling it 
originally, or them posting it and not knowing.

"This van was no joke at all. I have only had one problem since. After 
telling Kevin what was happening with my car over the phone, he told me it 
must be the idle slave cylender "

Idle slave cylinder...yeah, that's it. Your figgin-cam lobe extension is a 
bit wobbly too. I suggest a manual transmission filter change and timing 
belt replacement. I'm not sure which is more suspicious: that they call the 
idle stabilizer valve a "slave cylinder", or that they diagnosed it over 
then phone.


For every kind of salesman there is a customer, though. 
Or a PT Barnum put it, there's a sucker born every minute.
