The whole powertrain should be good for about 250,000 miles if it isn't abused. These were good, solid vans.

Welcome to FTE.

How long has it been up for sale? If it’s only been up for a short bit, I’d go look at it, determine what you think it’s worth, then leave and “think about it”. If it was a great price it would have already sold.

‘SIX MONTHS! I’d have a serious conversation with him about price and if he wants to sell it. If he doesn’t accept your offer, make sure he has your number when you leave the dealership. Let him think about it... If he has a lift have him put it in the air so you can take a good look at it.
