Should there be any trepidation regarding the fact that the original engine
is knocking on 170,000?
Granted, it's been serviced recently. . .

Is it within the realm of possibility though to expect at least a rebuild
within the next 15-18k?

Seems to be a great van regardless.
I'm just wondering how much of a role (if any) this should or shouldn't play
in the final selling price.

And yes, I'm considering bringing this one home. :o)
From what I understand, I'm one of multiple 'nibbles'.

Being the 2nd owner of a '90 with all service records (going back to the
first oil change), I can attest to the importance of POs who cared enough to
keep all of that stuff.
Reflects on a good history and solid service record (I think, anyway).
