Van in my possesion

This thing is seriously great shape, just a lot of miles. NEVER an issue except the Fuel pump, but is now new.
He is honestly sad to see it go. Just bought a new EDGE for his next trip soon.
Van was just in Florida Last month.

The BAD
- ABS light is on
- Arm rest has a few cracks (Drivers side only)
- one small door ding
- one small scuff on front bumper


This is my Father-In Law's and he has owned it from new. He is 72 and he bought this new when he retired.
He is one of the most anal people I know when it comes to his ride. It seriously is the nicest Astro around.

Little History on this Van
- Has had an oil change religiously every 4500 miles (why 4500 not sure but that was the miles he made sure)
- Had its 1st oil Change 2 weeks after purchase in Wyoming.
- Had its second oil change in Fairbanks Alaska.

- Has been in every US State (except Hawaii of course)
- Been to 49 different National Parks

Trips (he kept track of all this stuff)
- Florida 12 times
- Alaska 1 time
- California 7 times (Niece lives there)
- Las Vegas 7 times
- Texas 8 times
- New River Bridge Virginia 10 times (to see the Bridge jumps)
- Washington D.C 19 times (Family there)
- Dayton Ohio 34 times (Daughter lives there)
- Mackinaw Bridge walk 10 times
- Many other trips
- Has been parked at 423 different hotels for the night.

He is the most detailed, most organized person I know.

i was reading somewhere that these are really good tow vehicles as well. Wish I could unload my escort or something and get into this.

Yes! These vans are well known for two things, that they can tow (I easily towed a car)
and with the back seats removed, the flat floor is 4' x 8', which means you can haul full
sheets of materials.

I had one like this one (same color!) and loved it!

I have also heard they tow things pretty nice. This has the hitch and wiring on it ready to go though he never towed with it. - Come see it and drive it. It is nice... If you are really interested we could hook it up to my popup to see how it tows!:icon_smil

I think the Green/tan combo is sweet, hence the name Bad Buger.

Had a guy haggle me yesterday, drove it, low balled me... I said no. He then called me back an hour later saying he would buy it for my price. He had to have it as it was the nicest thing he has looked at under $4K. Called me again 2 hours after to then meet later at 9pm... 9pm came...no show! People suck. :lol:
