I understand the whole "Circle of Life" thing, but a rust-free California van with plenty of life left?
I think it sucks.

Putting food on the plate to feed the wife and kids, I see nothing wrong in making an honest living.

that one has been lingering for a while. think it started at 7500$ and at 6500$ for a while now at $5500 and likely to find a new home soon.. certainly before it hits $4500.. I'd think.

I bought the original motor and tranny out of this van last week. The vehicle itself is kind of rough, but the body looks straight. Nice guy to deal with. Might be worth a look for socal locals.

As the van is in Canada, I would assume that it is 366,000 kms which is about 230,000 miles. |

What's your point? My van's at 306,000 miles and running better than ever!
And like the man said, the speedo says 'Km', so multiply that figure by .6 to get miles.

D'oh. North of the border, my bad.  Km is much better. No knock on 366,000 miles, it is just at that mileage I'd want to R&R most all components.... but that is just me.
