Reno, Nevada

Purchased as camper last year, then started full time RV life so became superlight toad/cargo van. 105,504 actual miles, RWD.

Moved to California, joke's on me, cannot pass smog in California, Clark or Washoe counties due to some EVAP thing 3 mechanics couldn't figure out. Only reason why I'm selling.

Bare bones behind drivers seat, ready for build out or cargo. Reliable, runs great, Michelin tires with only 20k miles on em, scrape cosmetic damage on sliding door. Brand new brakes both axles, fresh oil change. Comes with roof cargo box.

Will post more photos when it's done being detailed. In Sonoma county now, potentially will deliver depending on distance.

Can you elaborate on the EVAP thing that several mechanics couldn't figure out? Maybe some of us have input specific to these vans that your mechanics didn't think about.

Seems like a purge valve solenoid, oxygen sensors, and throttle position sensor. Did you only take it to the dealer? Dealerships don't like to (and often are not competent enough to) work on older vehicles like this. There are lots of independent shops that would be more than capable of taking care of this for not too much money. I would think you would pay a lot less than you would lose by selling it in this condition.
