    Hey, looks like Larazus already looked that van over and it was a rust bucket.

    Here's the link to the for sale thread:
    link

    Here's his comment:
    Guys, I looked at this van (in photos) right before purchasing my G-Van. I sent photos to a local body shop guy and this van has ALOT of rust that he said would take a lot of money to fix. Rod, you looked at this at the time as well. I love the look of the van and the sunroof, but it's now been for sale for a while. Look closely and you can spot the rust and paint over patch work.

    I know there was rust in the door steps, both lower central body panels, and rear corners near the tail lights. Again, cool van, but not remotely rust free.

    Also, the guy selling it is a middle man for the owners. The owners said it came from New York and was driven down at the time, so it's likely reliable.

    Found the previous thread with additional photos:

    At $2,200 if it is a rust bucket I wouldn't even waste my time even if it was mechanically sound! Keep checking the forums and you can find much better for that price. Even if it needs paint. The paint on that one is not worth nothing if they just bondo'd over the rust. If you are in Canada it would cost you as much as you payed for it or more to have it delivered to you.

    Tell your wife to hang in there, I had to talk mine out of buying a van that she really wanted last year... mainly for rust issues. Turns out the new owner has put a motor in it since then so I made a good decision there. The vans are out there, you've just got to hunt for the right one Smile

    Most of the time it is better to buy one that is already finished. You can get one a whole lot cheaper from someone that has finished one and needs the money. Just keep on looking and you will find one in time. Like slowflapper said the right one is out there. Just keep searching and you will find it.

    anyway, probably sold, i've sent 2 emails, and no answer,

    i 'm looking at a "G" one near Montreal, but its not automatic and its been siting there for years, so lots of work and money, not for my lady but mayby an other toy for me, i think it would be alot cheaper to show her the 3 on 3 shifting on my "A",and thats not done........... affraid
