Jeff is dead on.
I had a chance to buy this van day one it was for sale.
The rims will need $100+ each for straightening and refinishing.
I was only interested in the R9s.
Take a closer looks at the van, it needs work as well.
You get what you pay for.

I looked at the pics last night, can't look at them this morning at work, since Internet is restricted (can't look at anything that falls into the "vehicles" category), but as I recall nearly every one (if not all)�of the rims was bent. Distance shots look good, but close up shots show lots of dings and rust spots. May not be the bargain everyone thinks it is. No offense to the seller, just calling it as I see it.���� Jeff
