Nope. not the one I got but much closer to the price I thought mine's PO would likely have selected.  I agree on the vagueness of certain aspects of the ad and that during a recent search for the replacement Mopar dog-and-lumber minivan (which included some other, non-van vehicles) it is astonishing how many sellers never mention the type of trans.  In vehicles where you KNOW there's a choice of manual or auto I'd find no reference. Drove me nuts.

Rantwise, good work on everything after the (yet).

I've been to Onacock, by the way.  One of the earliest new-license road trips while still in high school was with a buddy to the Delmarva Chicken Festival, which we at the time thought was about the silliest destination we could find since we imagined it to include roundups and chicken wranglers and the like.  Turned out to be much duller.

Stephen

I thought at first maybe this was the ad for the one Stephen bought, but I don't think so. No rant on price (yet) appears to be in nice shape. But transmission work? I hate that kind of stuff in an ad-WHAT KIND OF TRANSMISSION WORK? Doesn't say if automatic or 4 speed and no pics of cab area. Ever notice how a lot of PO's were VW mechanics? I've replaced engines, front blower motors, master cylinders, rotors, brakes, front axles, etc. Am I a VW mechanic, lol? If it weren't for the trans work, could be a good deal!
