    And there's the problem!

    Look, I don't care how nice a vehicle looks, or how pretty the interior is, if you are asking twice the value on a 14 year old vehicle, you're gonna fail.

    First of all, those Astro's are common as mud. There is absolutely zero collector value to them. Second, many Astro's came with a somewhat problematic All Wheel Drive system that IS prone to mechanical issues with age AND cuts fuel mileage. Third (and finally), it's 1r years old and you are asking $4,000!

    Price it at $2,500, accept $2,000. Or park it back in your garage. At $4,000, it's evident to me that you don't actually want to sell it.

    Nope. Just chillin' today, hoping I can unload tomorrow. No confirmed appt time, and an appt is required to unload. Too bad the office types at the reciever apparently flee like rats on a sinking ship at precisely 4:00 on Friday.....

    I dropped the price today to $3500 actually did have a guy from Cinncinatti call me up and say that was an okay price I can try 2800. This one doesn't have the all wheel drive it's just rear wheel I understand it's a tad old and not worth anything to most people and it's a nice market thing I get it.

    If anyone has 2800 laying around, they'll definitely be able to afford 3,000. If you price it at 3200 and pair it with a maintenance report or some sort of tune up report they will bite.

    But if the van is gonna turn out to be crap for the buyer, sell that to the scrapper!
