If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
If you're in the need of a cargo van to haul around your stuff, I don't think you can get any better than the one Simone has for sale. The quick specs:
Model: 4x4 Ford E250 Cargo Van (four-wheel drive conversion done by Quigley Motor Company)
Year: 1997
Miles: 118,000
Color: White
Engine: Triton V-8, 5.4 liter
Transmission: Automatic w. Overdrive
Freebies: 4 Thule roof racks, worth $400, and a set of nice American Racing Aluminum Alloy 17" rims that fit the van.
Price: $15,000 $14,000 obo
The thing is in great shape, and well worth the price for a workhorse. E-mail Simone for more information, or check out the pictures on her site.
(And if you do e-mail her, tell her you saw the ad on this site, so she knows I sent her the traffic, as I'm trying to help her unload the van.)

It's got power windows, locks and moonroof, heated seats and mirrors, spoiler, full size spare, and a brand new unused set of Les Schwab tire chains. Oh, did I mention it's a 180 HP turbo that flies? Well, it does.
The one downside to it is that it can't haul 10 foot long pieces of wood, nor can it tow things, which probably explains why I'm selling it. I got a truck.
Hey, Jake. Thanks for letting me advertise here!! :-)
josh said on 01/14/06 @ 11:06 AM: oh, yeah, I'm asking $12,950 for the Jetta.
Jake said on 01/15/06 @ 11:05 AM: HAHA -- can't you get a discount classified ad or something, Josh?
josh said on 01/15/06 @ 01:54 PM: I can and do, but I just haven't gotten enough calls on the thing. It's priced really well for what it is, but I'm gettin' no love!
