This vehicle starts, runs and drives great. The transmission shifts and drives smooth. I've had this vehicle for two years now and drove it very few miles. I used it mainly for camping trips and to haul larger items. I recently moved and now we just don't have the driveway space and so I'm forced to part with it. There are a few minor things that need to be fixed but I just never had time to get around to it. It's a wonderful vehicle for being 20+ years old and with relatively low miles!
There are a few small dents and scratches and some minor body rust (see pictures). Otherwise it's in good shape. The tires are only 3 years old with very good tread left and only about 10,000 miles driven on them. The rear wiper does not work (it just might be a fuse). Also needs left front window regulator (I still have the windshield wiper arm which stripped right off the bolt). The rear hatch latch button is loose but still works. Probably a simple fix but, again, I never got around to it. All the exterior signals and lights work. The underbody has a fair amount of rust but everything functions properly. This van amazingly does NOT rattle even when you hit the larger potholes! I replaced the water pump, ball joints, and exhaust system last year. I recently replaced the oil pressure switch (leaked oil big time but now it stopped). Replaced front upper control arm bushings and right front upper arms (also had alignment done - it drives nice and straight). It needs a rear brake job (pads are down to less than 10%). Also needs a fuel tank seal (leaks slightly when full). The A/C compressor is disconnected (I'm not even sure if it works). The heat works great though! The electrical system has no serious problems. The power steering line leaks and needs to be replaced so the power steering does not work (a little muscle gets the job done). The cruise control also works great for those longer trips! The interior is clean and generally is in good shape. I had some minor modifications done to the interior lighting (now VERY bright). One of the instrument panel lights is not working so its tough to see tachometer, fuel and temp gauges at night. Front right window does not roll down which can easily be modified and fixed (once again, I never got around to it). The power locks and power windows have been disconnected so it's back to the basics in this department (you might be able to get them to work with a little electrical know-how). The passenger seat back does not 'lock in' so it rocks back and forth when passenger is sitting in it (a minor inconvenience and simple fix). All the seat belts function properly. I have the original snap-on privacy curtains which are in great shape. There is also a very nice Panasonic CD player deck installed with great sound! (needs an antenna though). Winning offer must pay $500 deposit to my PayPal within 24 hours of close. The balance must be paid in full by certified bank check within 3 days. Buyer is responsible for shipping. I have past maintenance receipts available upon request. The title is free and clear. Please contact me with any questions and I will try to promptly answer them. This vehicle is for sale as-is and I'm not 'parting it out'. Please make an honest offer only if you are serious about buying it. Thank you! |

Recharge Wrap-up: Smart Ready for Rent, MOIA comes to US in 2018
Mon, Dec 12 2016Daimler is launching its "Smart Ready to Rent" service in Europe. Beginning this month in German and French cities, the rental scheme bridges the gap between short-term Car2go rentals and longer leases. Customers book the Smart model of their choice – including the emissions-free Electric Drive and the hotter Brabus versions – for a period of one day up to three months. As such, Smart Ready to Rent is useful to those who live outside of an urban center. Users can book a car online or through a dealer, and vehicles are collected and returned at the dealership. Read more at Green Car Congress. Volkswagen will launch its MOIA mobility arm in the US in 2018. The recently announced brand will take on public transportation as a competitor with services such as ride hailing and car sharing. VW is looking into forging partnerships with the likes of technology and ride sharing companies. The automaker also expects to show an electric shuttle-type concept in 2017 for pooling services, but will use the three-row VW Atlas crossover in the meantime until that concept reaches production. Look to see MOIA emerging in major cities along the US coasts. Read more at Automotive News. A new report from Lux Research suggests that most EV batteries are better off being recycled than reused. Once lithium-ion batteries have outlived their usefulness for automotive duty, some automakers (BMW, Nissan, and Toyota included) are looking at ways to use their remaining capacity, such as for stationary energy storage. The new report, though, says that reusing batteries offers "questionable returns on account of reduced performance." Better to be like Tesla, and just recycle them. Read more at Hybrid Cars.

UK auto magazine says this is the best car commercial of all time [w/videos]
Thu, 20 Dec 2012There have been many great car commercials over the years, but is it possible to define the best? Well, Ad Week recently took a crack at it by rating the top commercials of the year by looking at their view counts on YouTube, but Auto Express took a more democratic approach by putting the decision to a vote. Just after Thanksgiving, Auto Express came up with a list of the 20 popular commercials, and it tasked its readers with choosing the winner for the best car ad of all time. The winner? Honda's 2003 commercial for its then-new European Accord titled "The Cog."
While the ad never aired in the US, most car people have surely seen the impressive Rube Goldberg-style spot. In fact, the only commercial on this list that we saw on US television was the Volkswagen ad "The Force," but many of the others have become viral videos, including transforming and dancing Citroën C4. Of the 19 other commercials that vied for the title of best ad of all time, only the Ford Puma "Steve McQueen" commercial gave Honda a run for its advertising money.
Scroll down to watch Auto Express' top five commercial in order and to check out a press release, then let us know some of your favorite car commercials in Comments.
Recharge Wrap-up: Mercedes gets F1 efficiency, EV charging in Vermont, VW e-Golf to use Bosch
Mon, Jul 14 2014Efficiency equals performance, especially in the case of Formula 1 racing. The Mercedes AMC Petronas team points to several key efficiency technologies it uses to get the most out of its cars. And if their utter dominance so far this season is testament to this relationship, perhaps we should pay attention. Mercedes highlights hybrid tech, turbocharging, aerodynamics, lightweight construction, tribology (both in making internal components and lubricants more slippery) and simulation as crucial to getting around the track faster than anyone else. These just happen to be some of the same things that make the cars we drive on public roads more fuel-efficient. Learn more in the press release below. It's a good read. Brammo, maker of sweet electric motorcycles, is teaming up with TEAM Industries to make drivetrains for electric vehicles. TEAM, which specializes in drivetrain technology, will also become an investor in Brammo as part of the partnership. "The electric vehicle market is a growth market," says TEAM CEO and President David Ricke, "and TEAM and Brammo will be providing a wide range of solutions for OEM manufacturers." Read more over at EV World. Vermont celebrated the installation of a new EV charging station as part of a Green Energy Corridor between Boston and Montreal. When finished, drivers will be able to make the whole trip in an EV with access to charging along the way. For $5, customers can charge their vehicle in about 30 minutes at the Red Hen Baking Company in Middlesex. There are currently only about 700 EVs on the road in Vermont. The state has a goal to get 90 percent of its energy from renewable sources by 2050, and getting more EVs on the road is crucial to that mission. Vermont hopes that expanding the charging infrastructure will convince more people to go electric. Read more at Vermont Public Radio's website. For it's new e-Golf, Volkswagen will use Bosch chargers for home installation and ChargePoint stations at its dealerships. Bosch will have various 240-volt options for the home, and will also provide installation. e-Golf customers will also get a free ChargePoint membership, and will have access to the company's network of charging stations worldwide. The 2015 e-Golf goes on sale in the US later this year. Read more in the press release below.
