Here is info on this Van.

I purchased the van new in 2001 from Roesch Chevrolet.

Insulation and refrigeration was installed by Mobile Air, West Chicago. IL.

Reefer unit is Carrier Model 30S.

I sold this van to a company that I purchased in 2003. At this time it became a corporation owned van.

It is now still in service as a daily used vehicle in the business that I own.  I am currently in the process of selling my distribution business(lawyers and paperwork in progress) and the new owner has 12 of his own trucks, so he will not need this van.

This vehicle has always been garaged daily and weekends. That is why it has little rust for a van 13 years old and been thru 13 Chicago winters. It was normally driven by the same driver for deliveries in Chicago metro and suburbs. It does show 13 years of wear and tear on the outside, but the van was always maintained by Advance Auto/Brookfield Car Care, Brookfield, IL. If an part needed replacement, it was repaired. I have rented refrigerated vans in the past and that rental in Chicago IL. cost about $150-$200 per day.

The van was inspected yearly by Illinois Dept. of Agriculture, Bureau of Meat and Poultry for cleanliness and temperature(inside).

It always passed inspection.

Tire wear at this time is normal. I would guess you could get 3000-5000 miles before tires need replacement.

The van runs fine, but it does have 224,000 miles on it. It is sold "as is".

Suggestions and Comments:

If you have to replace the motor or transmission in this vehicle, Jasper Engines will have the motor ($4000-$4500)

or Transmission ($2500.00) in stock for replacement. Jasper guarantees for 3 years/ 36000 miles on both items. If you replace both items your cost for this van with insulation and refrigeration would be a total of $13000.00. Compare this to a new van with insulation and refrigeration: on the low end about $38000.00.

If you drive this vehicle for 2 years with no major repairs, your operating cost is only $250.00 per month plus expenses.(if purchased at $6000.00)

I have been in the food distribution business over 40 years and know the costs on this type of vehicle. If you are looking for a refrigerated/reefer, insulated used van, they are very hard to find. They just do not come on the market often. Most vendors just drive them to the end of their useful life.

GM to add 1,200 workers at 2 Michigan factories

Sat, Feb 29 2020

DETROIT — General Motors is adding 1,200 jobs at two Michigan factories to build midsize SUVs and two new luxury sedans. GM said Friday that its Lansing Delta Township plant will get a third shift and 800 more workers to build the Chevrolet Traverse and Buick Enclave SUVs, which have three rows of seats. The Lansing Grand River plant will get a second shift and 400 more workers to build two new Cadillac sedans, the CT4 and CT5. Employees laid off at other GM factories will fill the new jobs first, then workers will be added, GM spokesman Dan Flores said. The company has not determined yet how many new people will be needed, he said. Both additional shifts will start working sometime between April and June, the company said. Lansing Delta Township now employs about 2,500 salaried and blue-collar workers, while the Grand River plant has 1,400. GM sold more than 147,000 Traverse SUVs in the U.S. last year, a 0.4% increase from 2018. Enclave sales were up 3% to just over 51,000, according to Autodata Corp. Related Video:

GM cutting production at two plants

Thu, Feb 26 2015

General Motors is continuing to adjust to excess supply of some of its brands' models. To get production more in line with the vehicles' actual demand, the automotive giant is idling two of its factories in North America in the coming months. The Orion Assembly plant is going to be down from March 9-13, according to an anonymous plant worker and another insider speaking to Automotive News. The factory builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, but there are plenty of both models sitting on dealer lots, including 216 days worth of Sonics, according to AN. The factory already had two idle periods announced to reduce the excess. In addition, downtime is scheduled at GM's "Flex" line at the Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, plant from April 13-17. This affects supply of the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala, Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS. Among them, the automotive giant has the largest supply of Regals ready for dealers with 213 days worth of them, according to AN. The future for the whole Oshawa factory is cloudy in general, though. There are rumors that it could close entirely in the future because the Camaro is leaving and the Regal and XTS might not last much longer than 2017. The Canadian government and the labor union there intend to put up a fight, though.

Hertz and GM team up to put 175,000 rental EVs on the road

Tue, Sep 20 2022

Hertz and General Motors have announced a significant partnership that will send up to 175,000 electric vehicles into rental fleets across the country. The deal will unfold over the next five years and include vehicles from all GM brands.   The partnership will run through 2027. Hertz estimates that the electric fleet can save as many as 8 billion gasoline-powered miles, removing 1.8 million metric tons of carbon dioxide-equivalent emissions from the air. Hertz says it will invest in becoming the largest renter of EVs in North America and notes that it already has tens of thousands available at 500 locations in 38 states. By the end of 2024, it plans to electrify a quarter of its fleet. Electric rental cars are a great way for travelers wanting to avoid gas, and they make excellent urban commuter cars. Hertz will also likely save a few dollars by avoiding oil changes and other routine maintenance that gas engines need. However, a hidden societal benefit of this deal may come when Hertz’s EV rental customers begin shopping for new cars. Many people are skeptical of EVs for various reasons, including range, charging, ease of operation, and cost. Giving people a low-risk introduction to EVs and the ability to test-drive one without a pressuring salesperson could drive more people to electrics. At the same time, there's also the risk that renters wanting to take their Hertz-GM EV on a road trip into sparsely populated areas may return with charging and range-related horror stories. Hertz currently doesnÂ’t ask what youÂ’re planning to do with your rental, but it does offer a chat service for questions, and range information is presented clearly on each vehicle.
