Was bidding on that this morning, got outbid, ended up selling for $2450. Too rich for my blood. Whoever you are buyer #1211 you got a pretty clean van cheap.

from the pic of the engine compartment it looks like theres enough left to diagnose what started the fire.

Forum software won't recognize images without a filetype extension.
But ya, would probably be able to figure out where the fire started.

| Can't imagine paying $2450 for something that has been that badly damaged. Of course it is just going to be flipped and some poor soul will be on here in a month or two trying to figure out why he has so many problems on his new acquisition that he paid $8000 for and was told was a one owner van. |

More likely will be paying $65,000 for it from gowesty.
Would you believe that I was bidding on it sight-unseen?

I regularly watch iaai for vans nationwide and it has always amazed me the percentage of them that are burners.

Ya I've watched iaai for awhile, never went ahead and got an account because I could never figure out what the different restrictions on bidding were about.
