but after I got it home and figured out what was actually wrong with it, I fixed it and sold it for $2,500.
Was asking $2,995.
Paid $350. :D

Score!
Nice!!
What ended up being wrong with it?
The only thing wrong with it is I didn't find it first...lol...nice buy and turn around Idaho!
Sweet man, that's a unbelievable score I've paid way more than that for salvage vehicles
Tensioner was shot, belt was shredded and on its last leg. Had my mechanic do that since my chubby hands don't fit in the engine bay. Belt for AC was shot (Guy thought compressor went bad - new belt and it blows colddd), also trans was just low enough it wasn't going into gear. Topped it off and did a few runs and seemed to be fine. Didn't slip and sailed right up to 80 with no problems.Quote:

Need to find more people who don't maintain their vehicles and think they're scrap. :D
Btw he was asking 400. Was going to offer 300, but figured at 350, or even 400 I'd do alright. Didn't want to beat the guy up over a good price as it was.
Strange part it was on CL for about 3 or 4 days before I decided to jump on it. Usually scrap priced vehicles get snapped up right away.
The soccer mom gods were smiling down upon u.
Ya just never know what's going to be around the next corner until you make the turn! Congrats on a great score.
looks like a real clean van. glad you saved it from the shreader
