This is the van that I ran my service company out of. The van has been very reliable ever since I purchased it new in Clearwater, except for the first 1200 miles: the voltage regulator went and killed the alternator along with the battery (warrantied). Other than that, I have never been stranded.

The van gets between 20-25 mpg depending on your driving conditions and if the A/C is on. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this van mechanically. The engine fires up with no problem and runs great. The transmission shifts smoothly too. I do all of the maintenance myself.

The body has some minor surface rust on the roof rain-gutters, along with a patch of paint missing on the front drivers-side part of the roof (check out one of the pictures). There are some minor dings that are no bigger than a quarter in size (not deep either) here and there—very very minor stuff. I still I get a lot of compliments on this vehicle all of the time, in reference to the condition that it is in.

The wheels do have some flaking paint and surface rust on the lug bolts. The alignment is pretty solid along with the tire balance. The tires are Continental 225/70/15 with plenty of tread life on them.

You’re probably curious why the spare tire is in the van cargo area, and not in its original space: I had a U-Haul tow hitch welded to the frame. It was supposed to allow the spare to remain in the original position. The spare tire could no longer fit under the van, so that is why it is inside now. There is an aftermarket spare tire rack that can be attached to one of the rear doors to allow the spare tire to remain outside. I just never needed to purchase it.

Please feel free to email me with any questions, or if you would like to see the van in person. If you would like to talk on the phone, email me your number and I will get back to you. Please be patient on my return phone calls. I work out of my house, so it shouldn’t be too long to get back to you.

I don’t accept PayPal, a personal check, or credit card. Cashier’s check “only.”

I have the title in hand. You pick up or provide shipping arrangements at your expense.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

Edmunds ranks the best used cars for 2013

Sun, 15 Sep 2013

When people ask us what car we would recommend for them, it's usually not easy to answer. To make a useful recommendation we must consider which of the numerous vehicle segments fits their needs best, and then choose one of the many vehicles offered in each segment. For some people, new cars don't meet their expectations of value, because they lose so much of it the moment they are purchased and driven off the dealer lot. For them, there's always the used-car market, where great deals can be found, but cars' histories of reliability and maintenance records - and perhaps that Certified Pre-Owned warranty - become ever-important factors playing into purchase choice.
To help out, Edmunds has done us the favor of assembling a list of the best used vehicles money can buy, covering model years 2006-2011, according to what it considers the most important criteria when shopping for used autos: reliability, safety, value and availability. That means unreliable, unsafe, super-expensive or limited-edition models don't appear on the list, but instead cars from each segment that are more likely to satisfy the general population.
There are some real goodies on the list, including but not limited to vehicles such as the capable Honda Fit, the cultish Honda Accord coupe (which can be had with a 240-horsepower V6 and a six-speed manual transmission some years), and the powerful Chevrolet Corvette. While Edmunds' choice of the Volvo C70 for best used convertible baffled us at first (not that it's a bad car), it redeemed itself by stating that the Mazda MX-5 still is an unofficial top choice if you don't require more than two seats.

Stormtrooper Dodge Charger Episode IV: A New Soap

Fri, Dec 18 2015

We spent a day with a Dodge Charger that looks like a Stormtrooper helmet and made a few videos. In this one, the Charger meets the car wash. May the force be with the dryer. Read about the car and watch the rest of the videos here.
