General comments?
I was looking for a minivan to take take our family on a trip to my parents. After looking at all kind of junky vans, I saw
this rather ugly wagon on the back row of a small car dealer. The first thing my wife said was "you are not serious".So of course I looked it over real good and called about it, asked the price and condition and almost fell out. I was surprised to find that it only had 16000 miles on it, and he was asking $1000.Man I fell in love!The car is in absolute perfect condition except the paint. It had sat on the lot for a very long time, not a very cool car to most people. So after a good wash,compound rub, and waxing its very passable. The car handles great on curvey roads, perfect on the highway, and decent in city. Good gas mileage, no smoke,ticking,etc.The car is very comfy, for me and all of my family. I plan a tire and wheel swap soon, and tinting all the windows with limo tint. I just hope the tint doesn't make the car look like a hurst. By the way the reason for the low mileage is because the car was for the pall bearers of a funeral home.
