Hi all, first post here and just getting started on looking for an empty cargo van. I'm kinda a forum addict so I'll either drop off the face of the forum after this and stick to my other forums, or stick around and post 1000 more times lol!
I'm pretty much set on a high roof promaster but don't want to spend 30k on a near-new van. Hoping for under 16k.
So far I'm not seeing many listings, and all of them are a couple thousand over blue book/edmunds appraisal values. Is this the norm? Should I expect to pay way over blue book values for such a hot commodity? I'm in SF but searching the entire country every now and then just to see what's out there.
Thanks in advance.
PS I'm eyeing one nearby but the seller is asking 14.5k and edmunds/kbb suggest 9k-11k. Mileage is 144k on a gas engine... maybe too high mileage? Was kinda hoping under 100k for gas or mid 100s for diesel.
