Subject:OK, it is the heads... Van for sale
From:Dave Mancuso

The heads are leaking. I could just get the heads done, but I think a
whole new engine would be a better bet. Then the person who buys it would
have better peace of mind.

So my questions are:

1) Generally, would a prospective buyer be more interested in a van they
could fix themselves (as is, knowing the head gasket problem) or would
people be more interested in a van with a new engine and a 1 year, 12K
warranty? (realizing that the price would be $3K higher with the new
engine)

2) What is a good price for the van? I though $10K would be a good price
for the good condition it's in (including a new engine), but maybe that's
off.

3) Is anyone on (or off) the list interested in buying the van?

I'd to talk to any prospective owners before I have the new engine put in.
