OMG SHE IS PERFECT!! Just got the word from my CL mechanic guy (who, by the way, was amazing and if you're looking for this kind of thing around the Huntsville area, ask me for his details) that the van is in impeccable condition. I need to go buy her asap. Can you tow a G20 behind something...

Ok ok ok so it's all moving fast! I have a guy who is going there now to do an inspection, and will make the trip out to get it if all is well. Got the interior pics.... it's stunning on the inside. The only concern is carfax shows a major damage collision in 2010 but the vehicle was drivable...

Very good point, thanks!

Yeah that's the issue I'm having. It seems that in this area, these vans are all owned by older people, and they only become available when... well... there is no longer an owner. :/ In Knoxville, nothing seems to be popping up, and I'm finding that the ones with the most promise are all out in...

Good tip, will ask. Thanks! :)

It says $3200 for average retail price on NADA. KBB doesn't seem to go back to 1986? I think I could probably get a few hundred off the price though, so it would be around $2500-700. That would give me a cool $2k to use for upgrades and any needed maintenance. Mum's blanket would go well in it <3

Yes - I need to figure this part out - I've never done a pre-purchase inspection before.

What kind of price would this be in your area? And yea, other van was not right for me. This one though... I've asked for interior pics, he said he'd have to have his mom do that for him though as he "wasn't real good with them computer things..." lol

Ok, new one, and I'm in LOVE with the look of this one :) https://huntsville.craigslist.org/cto/6080502663.html He's like 4 hours drive from me. I called and spoke to him, older guy, sounds like it was his wife's van from new and she very recently passed away. Garage kept most of its life, all...

Did not know that about the tires. Thank you! I really have no clue about this stuff... :(

Ok, so I got a new consideration:  https://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/6078414494.html He's slightly flexible on price.  Pros:  - Got the carfax and it looks good on paper - Been in TN all its life - No rust, guy even said it still had the undercoating on - He said he'd changed the tires...

We don't want her to get cold...! ;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yep, I thought that too, but it is the right van - the location and three owners and all other stuff matched up. A trip into deep Google suggested it could have been done in error when inputting the mileage on the computers (earlier in the report it says an EML title was reported in error, so I...

OMG <3

https://knoxville.craigslist.org/cto/6076969844.html I entertained the though of fixing her up to use as my adventure van but she just isn't roomy enough for my needs - she'd be perfect for someone who wants something stealth and has a little more mechanical knowledge than us. We've priced it...

Yeah, I'm just getting so impatient!! I'm not known for my level-headed patience in waiting for the right thing to come along. Well, apart from with my husband....!

When I asked for some kind of verification of the lien being paid off she said "My word is good enough". No it's not, lady, you're a stranger from Craigslist to me - proof is all that is good enough! Damn, oh well. :(

Hmm ok, I got a carfax ($4.99 for the win!) and it says there is a lien reported, and also exceeds mechanical limits title. Should I be concerned on either of these? It's a 6-digit odo where the EML title happened at like 86k, and the lien was reported this Feb. Mama always told me if it seems...

I'm tempted to go astroturf.... :)
