This vehicle was bought locally from a Dodge dealer with 8570 miles in September 1995; as we understood it was a repossession purchased by the dealer at an auction. We've maintained it meticulously over the years and stored it in our barn with a cover on it. It's never been driven during the winter months. We basically used it for vacations to Amish country before we bought an RV. Our child is grown and we no longer use it or take the same vacations as we did when she was younger so we have decided to downsize our small fleet of cars. Plus, the registration is up in July; the NYS inspection is valid through October. Inspections receipts I found show the following consistent mileage: 2004: 58012 miles; 2005: 61293 miles; 2006: 65,423; 2007: 67926; 2008: 69700; 2009: 71,984; so you see, were rarely use and the mileage is valid. The Cooper Trendsetter 205/70R15 tires were installed on the 15" factory gold 'lace spoke' wheels at 70,142. It has a Primetime Galavan conversion package which includes a hi top fiberglass roof, oak trim throughout, mood lights, reading lights, limo window tint, running boards, a small six pack sized cooler between the front seats, an extra drawer under the front passenger seat, a rear storage cabinet, TV, VCR, an extra rear radio/cassette, four headphones, four (4) captain chairs and a folding rear bench seat. This van seats 7. The rest of the truck is stock. The rear bench seat and the two rear captains chairs can be removed to allow the hauling of larger items if need be. We use to remove the rear bench seat to fit a large dog crate in the back. It also has a bug deflector, window vents and carpeted floor mats throughout. The large rear power vent windows are operated from the driver's seat. The air conditioning condenser was replaced by a Dodge dealer several years ago so the A/C is cold; it also has rear A/C and heat. The transmission has always been serviced regularly with Mopar fluids only (this is very important for Dodges - to use Dodge transmission fluid and filter). The shocks/struts were changed around 58K with Monroe brand and an alignment was done by a Dodge dealership shortly after that. Front brake rotors and pads and a serpentine belt were also changed just after that work, just around 58K. The water pump was changed at 61K when we were on a trip to Amish country. The spark plugs, air filter and oil were installed/changed about a thousand miles ago; the front and rear wiper motors were replaced in 2011 (one failed so I had both changed at the mechanic's recommendation). The battery was replaced in 2013. The class IV hitch has only been used for hauling bicycles; this van has never towed anything (it doesn't even have a trailer light switch plug for the hitch). It also comes with a full tank of premium gas (we always used premium gas in this vehicle). The only real issues are the following: the clearcoat on the roof of the fiberglass high top is peeling (not the paint, just the clearcoat has failed); there is a paint blister/fail spot on the engine hood (quite atypical of Dodge, see the photo); the right side running board has a few scrapes on the bottom of it; and some of the gold pinstriping has darkened and flaked off with age here and there. The van runs perfectly and I estimate it gets about 18 mpg. Check the free independent Auto Check vehicle history report link from Experian (above) which shows the vehicle's history accurately. It rates this van above average for its age (scored it 42 when the average van of this year is 27) and it showed no 'red flags', no accidents, no surpises. Kelly Blue Book states the private sale price of this van in 'very good' condition is $3300, excellent $3400 - and that's without the Primetime conversion package add ons. It can be viewed before bidding, if you'd like - just contact me via eBay message. Any questions, please feel free to eBay message me, and I'll get back to you between 6PM and 10PM weekdays. This van is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early. $500 PayPal down payment is required within 48 hours of winning the auction. The remainder upon pickup will be by certified bank check, or, cash, or you can pay the whole amount by PayPal if you wish. You will undoubtedly have to pay your Dept of Motor Vehicles sales tax upon registering it. My plates and registration sticker will be removed upon pickup. No warranty expressed or otherwise implied - this van is sold as is. If choosing to have the vehicle shipped, payment in full will be required before scheduling the pickup. Good luck and thanks for looking!
