I don't think you'll be very successful if you won't be able to answer
buyers' questions about the van past this description.

If you're trying to sell a van that you bought but haven't even seen/driven
yet, that's territory I don't really know what to do with. What's up with
the title??

What is this O-ring it needs?? (Is this secret code for head gasket?!) If
this o-ring is REALLY no big deal, then you're almost certainly better off
fixing it (or paying someone too) and then selling it as a van that doesn't
need any immediate work.  Otherwise, "just needs an O-ring near the heads"
sounds very shady.  People will not want to buy a van with mysterious engine
issues, especially because it prevents them from knowing the condition of
the rest of the engine.

Also, I agree with Scott.  Pictures are not optional.  Take lots of them.
You don't need a digital camera.  The local photo store can develop film
pictures and put them on a CD for you.
