How would you market this old van?
Currently, the van has some problems that could stand to be fixed. At the top of the list is a new fuel pump. I think Ethanol in the gas caused this problem. The pump was replaced 3 years ago. The speedometer has just stopped working, and there's a sensor (I think) that affects the way the transmission shifts (rough, thunk with each gear) that needs replacing (for the second time).
Despite the fuel pump problem, it always starts (some days after cranking it a dozen times until the pressure builds up, other days it fires up immediately). The 351 V8 runs good, very good, in fact. It has a tick tick lifter problem (not a big deal). Tires have about 20K miles on them. And the AC (completely rebuilt) is excellent. Gas mileage? forget it...about 8mpg.
So it has good points and (mostly) bad points. I was thinking about putting an ad on Craigs List. I would like to get $400 for it. Don't know if that's realistic or not. What approach should I use in my ad copy? Use minimal copy to try to get a curiosity response? Or come clean up front, talk about the warts, and let the chips fall?
Appreciate your thoughts.
