If you read the text IT POPS OUT OF FIRST
GEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"The shift linkage is slightly out of whack in first gear only. It
occasionally (not often), pops out of first when you're stop and go. Hasn't  posed much
of anything rather than a minor annoyance."

You might want to get on that before you offer the valuable vehicle for  sale
at $33K. LOL!

And in the first sentance the guy is doing you the favor of selling to  you.

"We don't need to sell this van, but we don't really use it as much as
someone else might, and, well, it's valuable."

(and the guy's email is Olympia_Beer@...   that could  explain a lot.)

Somebody should call 911.
