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.

Pushing Back: GM expanding Chevrolet into Korea, Daewoo out

Thu, 29 Apr 2010

Chevrolet Camaro goes to South Korea - Click above for high-res image
General Motors decided several years ago to begin heavily promoting Chevrolet as its global mainstream brand even in markets where its existing brands like Opel and Daewoo were a dominant force. Today, at the Busan Motor Show in South Korea, GM Daewoo president Mike Arcamone announced that the Camaro would lead the way in GM's efforts to market Chevrolet in South Korea.
For now at least Chevrolet and Daewoo-branded vehicles will coexist in the Korean market. However, while we were in China last week GM officials told us that the Daewoo brand, which has been somewhat tainted by past quality issues, would eventually be phased out in favor of Chevrolet. When the new Aveo launches next year it will likely be badged as a Chevrolet even though GM Daewoo is in charge of engineering the car.

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
