What's up people? I've been saving my money from detailing and was hoping to buy a trailer next year. Well, my uncle has a Chevy Astro Cargo Van that he is selling for a $100. My father who is a mechanic has done all the work on the van. My uncle just needs to get it out of his drive way. The van is solid and when I looked at it my mind started running with all the things I could do with it.

What do you guys prefer using.......van, truck or trailer?

Thanks!!!:)
 
100$ Ill take it out to the desert and jump it! then when she dies ill shoot her, then were she dies is where she lies.
 
@Tex Star Detail: It's a 97 with 115,000 miles. My uncle's old lady started complaining about there being too many cars in the drive way and that van wasn't being driven so it has to go. Thanks for the link to that thread.

@Tuscarora Dave: Do you still have the van now?

Yes I do still have the van though I am not using it yet. I just took it for a short drive last night. I replaced the fuel pump to get it running and out of her driveway then I took it for a 400 mile drive to get the bugs out of it and get a feel for what it may need.

It leaked exhaust at the manifolds so I replaced the front half of the exhaust and had to cut off and drill out the exhaust manifold studs to get the job finished. I replaced the distributor cap, rotor and spark plugs. Replaced a few light bulbs and the windshield wiper motor. I now need to install a new oxygen sensor and re check the plug wires for fit because it seems to be only running on 5 cylinders. After I do these few things I will be taking it in for inspection and will then be setting it up to work out of.
 
dave if firing order is rite then check fuel injectors they are common for bad injectors napa sell updated kit cheaper than dealer by 250.00 dollars

Thanks for the advice, I'll keep it in mind but I am pretty sure I didn't get one of the new plug wires on securly. Going over to check into it next week after I get paid. once I check it out and put the oxygen sensor on it, it is going to the inspection shop.
 
I'm so pissed. My uncle sold it to the junk yard for parts. He only $150.00. Still trying to understand his logic behind doing this when I said I wanted it.
 
Ever heard the phraze "opportunity only knocks once"? I guess he wasn't kidding when he said it had to go. Sorry to hear you missed out on it.
 
@TD: You never lied about that. I better get back to looking on cragislist and I hope I can find something decent there.
 
Lots of deals out there when you have cash in hand got to move fast though. I bought a fridge off craig's list another guy showed up 5 minutes after I got there. Good deals don't hang around long. However, being your uncle that wasn't too cool on his part!
