you can buy anything for 4K, ya just gotta search and find the one that fits your wallet and your desire.
put in the work and start researching all venues around you and you might hit the van of your dreams best of luck.

Just make sure you're prepared to buy it twice. You'll probably need to put $2k to $4k towards repairs in the first year that you own it, even if it's been well maintained.

Welcome to the forum, Morgann - and good luck finding your van! I'd start looking on Craigslist.

Price drop 2000.00 Hmm!
Might be something wrong with it! It should be gone already. They get 25mpg and will go thru a lot of crap. They will tow 5500 lbs. and those trucks have been known to go 300000 miles or more!
I may have to dig in a little deeper in the morning! That and a 7x12 cargo trailer and you have a really nice start to a new life for about 5000 bucks or less.

Welcome to the forums...  Price is relative... What exactly do you want in a van?

 

[ssminnow]

I knew something wasn't right. they will not talk face to face or on the phone. Maybe they have a buyer I don't know. i was ready to buy it today!

Your local Craigslist is your friend. No one here is able to find a van for you, you will need to come up with a list of what you want, what you need, the budget for the van, the budget for the build, and do most of the work yourself. DIY projects will give you pride in what you build, and experience to share to other newbies.

Thank you for your reply. After consulting with my family, I spent $2,500 to buy a Ford van. The rest of the money will be used for repair and replacement parts
