I actually went over there today and took a look at it. Only on the outside though, didn't look terribly bad but it had some oxidation. Through the windows the interior looked acceptable. A little wear on the driver's seat. The wheels are hub caps and the passenger side front looks a bit worn. I didn't see anything glaringly wrong with it, but they were closed and I couldn't get inside.

Joe and I will go again in the morning.

Continuing the hijack...Again, sorry Dave.

Kapt - Ok, I like the Sapphire. But dude, you've got to graduate your taste buds and give yourself a treat with the Plymouth Gin. I kid you not. Try it and you'll see what I'm talking about. Plymouth(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

I'll pretend you didn't mention Boodles...! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Dave,

I called the lady three times this morning, nothing but voicemail.

I left a message and I am waiting to hear back from her. I'll keep you posted if I hear from her.

Dave,

It looks like it may be being bid up by a shill bidder. I never trust new IDs buying big ticket items on ebay the first go around. Makes me concerned.

Too many martinis? How does that happen?

Still no word from the seller, huh? Wife is liking it more and more (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

Here's the KBB quote: W/out the power steering or ABS is $5800 I am unsure of these options...

Nothing still.

I can look at it tomorrow too, assuming she calls. I don't know what to tell you. You are taking a risk if you go forward. Heck, you were taking a risk by having me look at it. At least then you'd know if it acutally ran or not.

I'll let you know if she calls me and I'll zip on up and take a look-see.

I've got a 2000 Eurovan Camper. It is equipped with the VR-6 engine. It is very smooth and quiet and probably the only automatic transmission that I have ever liked.

I recently talked to an owner of a Eurovan (passenger version) that was similarly equipped and he had the same feelings about how wonderful his van performed. He also had owned an early Eurovan like this one that had the Audi 5 cylinder engine in it. He said that the engine and transmission were not nearly as well matched as in the new VR-6 models. Instead of being smooth shifters, the early ones were very stiff and he felt that the gearing was not well matched with the result that it didn't shift smoothly or when he thought it should.

I don't have any personal experience with the early Eurovan models, and I don't remember what year they moved to the VR-6. I also can't testify to how mechanically astute this owner is. I figured I'd pass it on just for information.
