It's a nice van in a popular color. Lots of nice and common
upgrades. I think 25K - 30K tops is my number on it. It is not a full
power van. No cruise, door locks or Power windows, Most people prefer a 3
window tent over a single window unit. If you have been up there with only
window it is a little claustrophobic. That takes away from its value and
decreases its worth in my opinion.
I am leary of why the right door was replaced and what else was
done to that area. If it were done at a high end shop I would have expected
them to remove the door lock and do a better color change..
