He also listed it on Craigslist last night. Since my 1995 van's transmission went last January, I've been without a working vehicle for almost a year. It's tough trying to work, take care of a family, and manage without a vehicle. I saw other Aerostars on EBay for a lot less than what he is asking, but they are also high priced with a lot of mileage plus who knows how much it cost to ship.
Buying something from out of state dealers is high risk since you can't check it out or even test drive it prior to purchasing it. What do you do if you order it, then you see that the engine is burning oil, the transmission fluid is burned, the exhaust has antifreeze dripping, and there's a check engine light? Do you hire a lawyer to force the guy to give you a refund, take him to court, then spend more in fees than the vehicle? I've never purchased a vehicle online but a neighbor once did, and he didn't get what he paid for, so he just took a loss, and learned an expensive lesson. Sometimes you get lucky so it's a gamble if you could afford to take a chance.
