Meticulously maintained and has many new parts. Including a new 24" flat screen TV, A NEW 1500w power converter which was used to power a mini fridge and an xbox as well as the tv."

You are looking at one of the finest vans available in the marketplace for its year , when I bought this van I spent a lot of time looking and even turning down "nicer ones" because of rust or leaks or dealers just selling unknown vehicles just to make a profit and not able to show any maintenance records etc etc.... (I'm sure you know this story).


As I said I was going to keep this for a long time as we go on vacations out west and enjoy the outdoors and need to have a reliable van to do so, that's why I bought this one after looking at so many, including flood vehicles which just seemed to good to be true..(.screw that and those low life's!!!)

Even when I got this which had 120k on it I had my mechanic go over it and followed his advice and replaced the following parts,

New fuel pump,  $148 plus $300 to install

New water pump, bosch $189 plus $400 to install, also new clutch plate $142, and new serpentine belt $39.

Replaced the old radiator fluid with new fluid using distilled water after flush, $120,

New transmission fluid, has had 3 oil changes in 2 months.

I got new wheels and tires which have been on the van for less than 2 months, rated at 50k they have 45k left. $1200.

Mechanic did a full service on the ac unit and this was worth every penny!!  It is freezing cold!!!!  $250.

The man I got this from just put new rotors on the front as well as new break pads and new other parts on the rear wheels (forget what they are called).

I bought a new flat screen TV which had 2 HDMI ports as well as a host of other features and went to great pains to install ! Took a lot of time!! I also bought a new 1500w inverter and hooked it up to the battery with heavy duty cables which I ran up the passenger side inner rail to keep it all nice and neat looking. total cost for all parts were about $499 .


Al the seats are in perfect condition as they were covered with new towels and of course I will include them with the sale. Lots of extra floor mats which helps keep things clean.  Full power driver seat is very confutable as I never had one complaint on my cross country trip last month.

As seen in the photos there is a scratch in the side and 2 small dings in the rear doors, all glass in in great condition and once again its a rust free van and has no leaks what so ever!!

Some people say "I wouldn't hesitate to drive it across the country"  Well I just did --5000 miles there and back- and yes I would do it again!! With my family of 4 and al our luggage (mostly the wife's) as well as camping gear and food we had plenty of room and at no time did anything go wrong, vehicle was perfect!!  We went up and down mountains (moki dugway, look that one up, put it on your bucket list --what a drive- wonderful views !!) with the ac blasting and no hesitation out of the wonderful chevy 5.7!

Please ask any questions you have, you will not be disappointed with this van, in fact it drives like a caddy, very smooth and very quite, got a nice upgraded radio with bluetooth, we played pandora all the way from NY to Utah .  I will include the old radio.

I have a  new battery I brought with us on the trip just in cast (!) $119 that I will will include with the sale.

As I am NOT a dealer I will not be asking stupid fees that they all appear to be doing, 399-499 ??  really!  What you win the auction for is the final fee--Nothing extra added!



Thanks for looking and good luck!  Feel free to call if you wish, 914-261-4746, john.

Who sold the most heavy-duty pickups in 2012? PickupTrucks.com investigates

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Domestic manufacturers enjoyed a good year for heavy-duty pickup sales in 2012. PickupTrucks.com has taken a close look at exactly how those sales broke down between each manufacturer and between three-quarter and one-ton pickups. Ford sold some 67,786 F-250 Super Duty models last year with the Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD falling just behind at 56,359 units. The Ram 2500 HD came in third at 41,918, while the GMC Sierra 2500 HD earned itself fourth place with 27,616 deliveries. While Ford held onto the top spot in the one-ton market, Ram easily nailed down second place by selling more 3500 HD models last year than General Motors sold Silverado 3500 HD and Sierra 3500 HD trucks combined.
So, did GM manage to sell more trucks than Ford with its two brands? Very nearly. Ford sold a total of 119,338 heavy-duty pickups to GM's 111,555. Ram, meanwhile, moved a distant 77,583. But perhaps more interesting is the diesel take rate in this segment. PickupTrucks.com says 80 percent of all domestic one-ton trucks roll from the dealer lot with a turbo-diesel under the hood. Head over to the site for a closer look at the breakdown.

More Corvette Stingray Factoids: Vanishing panel gaps and 26-mpg LT1

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

During January's Detroit Auto Show, we managed a longer than expected wandering tag-team interview with C7 Corvette chief engineering exec Tadge Juechter (pictured above), and LT1 engine boss Jordan Lee (pictured below). They are, quite honestly, two of the very nicest bigshot lads to ever walk the engineering corridors of an American manufacturer. Both are enthralled by what they're doing for a day job. So are we.
We've followed the pre-sale anticipation for the Chevrolet C7 Corvette Stingray like an Oreck vacuum yanking every speck of dirt from a well-trampled carpet. Everything is reportable and contains a grain of further knowledge about this dramatically important and cheered-for car, as it continues to be pressured into representing all that is superior about the American dream. The Corvette wears one heavy cloak.
So, most of what was talked about has been expertly reported already right here on Autoblog. But, looking through our notes again, both Jeuchter and Lee added facts to the buzzing mix.

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
