I just went to look at a van that the guy wanted $2000 for, but it needed to be towed, was rusty, full of mice, used to store junk, wouldn't start, had 2 flats, 180K miles, broken sliding window with glass still scattered inside, couldn't find the title, head leaks, parts missing, etc.

He said the parts on it were worth more than he was asking. I offered him $500. He didn't like that. Good luck, pal.......
