possible van

[Guest]

found on CL. 86 chevy conversion van. man bought to convert to camper, job taking him out of state. says no repairs needed, says what he just upgraded, mileage is 86K, looks just like van i had years ago took kids camping in. he wants 500 for it. he has another vehicle, doesn't need. i know the age will be issue? its 75 miles away. he is leaving town for a month tomorrow and i have no way to go see/look before then. maybe i should wait and save more?

Meg, id try email first. Its a oretty common scam on cl to see a vehicle advertised abd has to be sold quick because the owner is /will be leaving the country. If the reply email reads anything like " my agent will arange delivery as soon as payment is recieved" flag the ad and run away. Its too bad that scammers seem to have taken over most of CL, but tgere are some legitamate sellers, and some deals to be found. Mabye you could post a link to the ad? Be careful and good luck!
