If you would like to see additional pictures or look at the van in person, please contact me by phone at 541-740-4262.

Multi-purpose van can be used for road trips with the sleeping platform or up to 5 passengers with space for additional gear.

I have built an L-shaped sleeping platform with space for gear underneath - it is great for going on extended road trips.

Since I put in the sleeping platform right when I purchased this van, the bench seat was removed and has been stored in a dry and clean location so it is still in like new condition.

If you are not interested in the sleeping platform, I can easily remove it and put the bench seat back in.

Mostly highway miles as I used it for traveling long distances. It has always been very reliable, but I live in the city now and don't need such a large vehicle any more.

ALL repair records and routine maintenance paperwork through first and second owner available.

I have added window tinting for privacy and there are rain guards so you can have the windows open slightly when it's raining and not have water come in.

Hitch with electrical hookup option for pulling a trailer.

Rear tires are 1 year old with not many miles and are still under warranty.

Tire chains included if you want them, but this van does GREAT in snow.

Original Owner's Manual included.

Additional Information:

This is the perfect adventure camper van!

I have used this van to camp out of and built a solid platform which provides space for sleeping while also having lots of space for gear. I am willing to sell it with the custom platform or without it. It has tinted windows and is white in color which results in it staying cool even in warm temperatures. I put window rain protectors over the front two windows so they can be left open in a downpour and still keep the front seats dry.

* I also have the original van bench seat (not pictured but will be included) which has hardly been used due to having the platform in it. It can be installed or taken out in seconds which makes this van very versatile.

This van handles amazingly in all weather conditions as it is all wheel drive (same as four wheel drive) and will come with chains (even though I have rarely needed chains because it does so well in snow). There is a factory rack to which you can mount a Yakima rack or similar rack system (Thule, etc.).

I bought this van in 2005 from Randy Jones Chevrolet in Corvallis OR with 94,128 miles. It had one previous owner before me who did all their routine service at the same place and at the recommended intervals (all of those records can be printed out and reflect all routine maintenance that occurred).

I have also kept up with routine maintenance at the recommended intervals. I have a file with everything I have done to the van over the last 8 years. Since I bought it, (excluding normal maintenance) I have only had to replace the power steering pump 3 years ago and 6 months ago I had a new U Joint and shocks on the front.

Currently the van has 219,000 miles on it. Most of those miles I put on it are highway miles since I drove many times between Oregon and Wisconsin along with traveling to explore various areas of the US (hence the perfect camper van). Not to mention I bike commuted to work and to run errands more often than driving the van short distances. I put new tires on the back 1 year ago. I also put a new AM/FM/CD radio in it. I know of several people with the same van that have gotten well over 300,000 miles on theirs.

I have since moved to the city and don't travel / camp nearly as much as I used to, so I got a smaller car to match my new lifestyle. I hope this van can go to a good home of someone who can enjoy it and get the most out of its awesome features! It truly is the ultimate road trip / camper van!

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem

Thu, Feb 13 2014

General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.

Sinkhole Opens Up In National Corvette Museum, Swallows Eight Cars

Wed, Feb 12 2014

More cars are being moved inside the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky. to avoid falling down the same sinkhole that swallowed eight classic sports cars early this morning, Autoblog reported. Museum officials said the hole was discovered when motion sensors activated around 5:45 a.m. The rescue mission can be viewed on the museum's live feed cameras, which weren't working after the sinkhole emerged. A 1993 ZR-1 Spyder and a 2009 ZR1 "Blue Devil," both on loan from General Motors, were among the cars that fell into the sinkhole. The museum owned the other affected Corvettes, which included a 1963 Corvette, a 1984 PPG Pace Car and the 1 millionth Corvette ever produced. The state of the cars at the bottom of the hole isn't known, but trial lawyer and sinkhole expert Ted Corless said the cars may be a total loss for the museum and GM. "Most states, including Kentucky, exclude damage caused by sinkhole activity," he said. "There will be, in all likelihood, a claim made, but a lot of policies would specifically exclude these kinds of damages." Corless has 15 years experience dealing with sinkholes. He said that typically neither the building, nor the cars themselves are protected under their insurance policies. "I would have to say, more likely then not, they're going to have an uninsured loss measured in the hundreds of thousands of dollars." The museum is closed Wednesday while a structural engineer assesses the damage.
