Vehicle Description
I bought this vehicle in early '06 for travel and recreational purposes. My new living situation in a condo has not allowed me to have an additional vehicle. This minivan runs smoothly in town and on the highway, and has a lot of life left in it. The current mileage is not much for these vehicles and their overall life expectancy. When I bought it, I knew it needed several repairs and I had them done. You get the benefit of the repairs I made, including new transmission, tires, radiator and hoses, serpentine belt, brake cable and emergency brake assembly, front brake rotors, strut towers (completely rebuilt due to rust - common on these vehicles). Currently, the water pump needs replacement. There is slight oil seepage from the valve cover gasket, but it is so insignificant I never attended to it. However, when the engine is hot some oil will drip on it and there will be an odor. My mechanic said repairing it was optional and I rarely add oil between changes. The interior and dash are in very good condition on this vehicle. Unfortunately, the headrests are missing. City and highway mileage is pretty good for a six cylinder engine. A new JVC CD player/stereo was installed recently, and sounds great with the four factory installed speakers. The air conditioner has not worked since I bought the vehicle, but I have not investigated why. There is some rust along the rocker panels, which, depending on the state in which you live, may require remediation because of concern about exhaust entry. There are a number of small dents and scrapes, particularly on the rear hatch, but overall the body is in pretty good condition. The Carfax report I received upon purchase revealed no accidents, flooding, or other issues. You can obtain a report on your own if you'd like, which will confirm this. I've garage kept it since I bought it. Please email with any questions. While I have done my best to provide a prospective buyer with all the information needed to make a reliable purchase decision, it is sold as is, with no warranty stated or implied. 7/7/08 REVISIONS ADDED TO POST IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS: 1) The engine is the smaller six cylinder, the 3.0, not 3.3; 2) The vehicle is fully driveable with the water pump leak, but coolant level must be monitored because coolant will have to be added. However, I would advise any buyer to not avoid that repair for long. 3) I have added a few images showing more clearly the rust along the lower portion of the body under the doors.
