Default Anyone (USA) with a van they aren't using? I'm going on the road again.

My stay here in the desert hasn't been great, considering I dodged one bullet, a rabid pitbull who was eyeballing me...but, before he could pounce, I got a fever of 104 and spent a few days in the local ICU where they gave me pneumonia...and instead of a pulmonary guy...I had a cardiologist looking after me...which was good for my heart...which seemed to be ticking just fine.

Well, after a few weeks of recovery, I'm about to hit the road again.

I'll be in San Francisco the first part of July, Northern CA (Humboldt) later in July and then head the van (if I get one) toward Ohio until early fall, then head to FL and then back to CA in San Diego early next year.

Well, them's the plans.

I'm looking for a van, although I have alerts set for RV camper vans, and a watchlist at ebay...after seeing my old navy buddy use a regular little soccer mom van to travel about...I'm thinking that would be ok too.

An RV tells everyone you're from out of town, that you have things in there, whereas a little Dodge Caravan can park in any neighborhood and not raise an eyebrow.

Haven't decided yet, so, if anyone has a van of any kind they want to sell, I'm in the market, let me know.

Also, as I travel by road, let me know if you'd like me to stop by for a day or two and we can work on a project if you have one.

Anyhow, I'm out of the desert soon, back to the concrete jungles of big cities and beaches and on to another great adventure.

Thanks for your time and attention and hope to see you soon.

Gordon Alexander

I just gave away the family van to a worthy charity. Like yesterday. Now I see you are looking. I would have been happy to pass it your way. It was a little bigger than you may have been looking for but we just didn't use it anymore.

Hope this finds you well.

Default Thanks Dan, what a great idea, I forgot.

Hope all is well with you Dan, and the brood. Some are probably driving their own cars now...yikes.

YES, indeeedee...

There is a Goodwill lot on Arlington St. in Akron, OH, I used to shop their quite a bit.

Good buys to be found from donated cars, especially if you have a mechanic or two standing by...and sometimes, they just cars people have no use for.

So, I'll start shopping all the DONATED cars...wonder if there is a website for such a thing...OH Phil...

Since I have people in Akron, might as well start there.

Sorry I missed out, but, thanks for the great idea on where to pick up a Van for the cheapside...also, I'll be sending my brothers to the Auctions...might find something perfect.

Man in a VAN, coming soon to a Walmart near you. HA!

Default They've moved, but thanks to Dan B. I'm on the hunt.

YIKES, my local Goodwill has moved since I left town, but, thanks to Dan, I did a quick search.

Found this: http://www.goodwillakron.org/archives/2034

Just what I'm looking for, I'll ask one of my Bros to run down and take a look at it.

See, sometimes, you just need to read the forum and even if there isn't an apparent solution, you might be led to one.

Got to research all the donated car lots today. Then, I'll write a report on how to buy a car cheap...he he.

This was a Dodge 3500 15 passenger van. Dark green with tinted windows. During a big vacation in October of 2001, shortly after meeting you, I got followed after leaving Fort Knox and I also got followed after letting my wife take a picture of the Supreme Court in DC. We were traveling around with another family the same as ours except they had a dark green Ford with tinted windows. So when we would stop it was two dark tinted 15 passenger vans. Very suspicious at the time. One of the best vehicles I ever had. Loved traveling in it.

Interesting information about vehicles.

The guy down the street used to buy, fixup, and sell Ford *******. Always joked and said he ran an "Escort Service" out of his house. I bought one once and it was a great car for what we needed it for. Think we paid $1200 for it and it lasted us 3 years, gave it to my son, he drove it another year and he just sold it to someone in West Texas.

Best of success on your search. And I am interested in information on economical cars.

Dan

Every vehicle I've bought has been on Craigslist.

Here's an awesome site that lets you search multiple cities at once:
http://www.searchtempest.com/
It's a bit slower than normal due to CL changes, but still works.
