General comments?
Personally, I LOVE this van. Despite all the other comments that people have posted, it's been quite trouble free (aside from the transmissions) and excellently reliable. It has only seen 4 winters, all the other years it was driven from Alberta, Canada to Arizona. Overall, it's got very minimal rust and the body is in pretty good shape (aside from the peeling on the roof). All parts that were replaced were ORIGINAL except for the rebuilt transmissions. Seats are comfortable, back bench seats rattle terribly though. Great heat and superb handling in ice and snow. Van rides amazingly for the age and still drives like a dream. Gas mileage is not too bad.
