Here is info on this Van.

I purchased the van new in 2001 from Roesch Chevrolet.

Insulation and refrigeration was installed by Mobile Air, West Chicago. IL.

Reefer unit is Carrier Model 30S.

I sold this van to a company that I purchased in 2003. At this time it became a corporation owned van.

It is now still in service as a daily used vehicle in the business that I own.  I am currently in the process of selling my distribution business(lawyers and paperwork in progress) and the new owner has 12 of his own trucks, so he will not need this van.

This vehicle has always been garaged daily and weekends. That is why it has little rust for a van 13 years old and been thru 13 Chicago winters. It was normally driven by the same driver for deliveries in Chicago metro and suburbs. It does show 13 years of wear and tear on the outside, but the van was always maintained by Advance Auto/Brookfield Car Care, Brookfield, IL. If an part needed replacement, it was repaired. I have rented refrigerated vans in the past and that rental in Chicago IL. cost about $150-$200 per day.

The van was inspected yearly by Illinois Dept. of Agriculture, Bureau of Meat and Poultry for cleanliness and temperature(inside).

It always passed inspection.

Tire wear at this time is normal. I would guess you could get 3000-5000 miles before tires need replacement.

The van runs fine, but it does have 224,000 miles on it. It is sold "as is".

Suggestions and Comments:

If you have to replace the motor or transmission in this vehicle, Jasper Engines will have the motor ($4000-$4500)

or Transmission ($2500.00) in stock for replacement. Jasper guarantees for 3 years/ 36000 miles on both items. If you replace both items your cost for this van with insulation and refrigeration would be a total of $13000.00. Compare this to a new van with insulation and refrigeration: on the low end about $38000.00.

If you drive this vehicle for 2 years with no major repairs, your operating cost is only $250.00 per month plus expenses.(if purchased at $6000.00)

I have been in the food distribution business over 40 years and know the costs on this type of vehicle. If you are looking for a refrigerated/reefer, insulated used van, they are very hard to find. They just do not come on the market often. Most vendors just drive them to the end of their useful life.

The best Super Bowl car commercials from the last 5 years

Wed, Jan 28 2015

If you've been dipping into the Autoblog feed over the past days and weeks, you wouldn't even have to be a sports fan to know the Super Bowl is coming up. Automakers have been teasing their spots for the big game, dropping them days early, fully-formed onto the Internet and otherwise trying to amp up the multi-million-dollar outlays that they've made for air time on the biggest advertising day of the year. And, we're into it. The lead up to the Super Bowl is almost akin to a mini auto show around these parts; with automakers being amongst the most prolific advertisers on these special Sundays. The crop of ads from 2015 looks as strong as ever, but we thought we'd take a quick look back at some of our favorite spots from the last five years. Take a look at our picks – created from a very informal polling of Autoblog editors and presented in no particular order – and then tell us about your recent faves, in Comments. Chrysler, Imported From Detroit Chrysler, Eminem and a lingering pan shot of "The Fist" – it doesn't get much more Motown than 2011's Imported From Detroit. With the weight of our staffers hailing from in and around The D, it's no wonder that our memories still favor this epic Super Bowl commercial (even though the car it was shilling was crap). Imported really set the tone for later Chrysler ads, too, repeated the formula: celebrity endorsement + dramatic copy + dash of jingoism = pulled car-guy heartstrings. Mercedes-Benz, Soul teaser with Kate Upton One of our favorite Super Bowl commercials (and yours, based on the insane number of views you logged) didn't even technically air during the game. Mercedes-Benz teased its eventual spot Soul with 90-seconds worth of Kate Upton threatening to do her best Joy Harmon impression. (Teaser indeed.) It doesn't win points for cleverness, use of music, acting, or any compelling carness, but it proved that Mercedes' advertisers knew how to make a splash in the Internet Age. And, hey, it's still classier than every GoDaddy commercial. Kia, A Dream Car. For Real Life Like the Mercedes video above, the initial draw here is a pretty lady; in this case the always stunning Adriana Lima. But this Kia commercial really delivers the extra effort we expect while scarfing crabby snacks and homemades, too. First of all, Motley Crue. Second, a cowboy on a bucking rhino. Enjoy yet again.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable

Fri, 21 Sep 2012

General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
