See fullsize pics below

Solid, well maintained van. Would take on a 3-5k mile cross country trip tomorrow. (We have done 5k mile trips in this van). Excellent candidate for a overlander / vanlife camper conversion/toy hauler. Double mattress will fit in back with rearmost seat removed. (see below for my original plans)

Full service records and detailed pics available.

Will deliver within 150 miles of Atlanta, including Atlanta Airport. Perfect fly in, drive out vehicle.

Ok to SMS at +1 seven seven zero area code two 2 two 4 four nine 9. (Sorry, was deluged with scammers when I listed my number) or traveler at pinztrek d o t c o m.

Has pretty much every option offered (See options list):
- Pwr Locks & Windows
- Remote Entry with 3 MB key/fobs
- Rear Air (you really want this, separate compressor, will keep the van cool even at 100 degrees)
- Rear heat
- Auxiliary heater (Esperbacher with 7 day timer)
- REST heat (allows keeps heat flowing after engine stopped)
- New 200 Amp alternator (upgrade)
- Infra-red blocking glass (keeps it cooler)
- Heated windshield (de-ices)
- Auto rain sensing wipers
- Traction & Stability control (Not awd, but will increase traction on slippery surfaces. Does well in snow when other cars did not)
- Fog lights
- Many others
- Passenger seats can be removed to increase cargo capacity (camping trips, moving tables, etc)
- I have service manuals in electronic form

Added:
- Kenwood Nav unit / stereo. (Can remove and reinstall factory radio for $250 reduction in price)
- Large screen DVD for passengers (can connect to the nav unit, I have the cables)
- I have class V trailer hitch, but have not installed
- Heavy 12v line from battery to main cab sufficient to run travel refrigerator. Can remove if not needed.

Avg Mileage- 21-23 combined city/highway
- We have seen as high as 28 mpg empty on the highway
- Fully loaded in mountains still saw 19-20 mpg

Engine-
- Glow plug fault, occasionally comes on, have not tried to diagnose. May be fusable link which does occur, or bad glow plug.
- Engine/tranny runs well, no issues that I'm aware of

Maintenance-
- Mobil One synthetic and german filters (MB) it's entire time we've had it.
- Was Daimler-Chrysler owned and maintained when we bought it (~16k miles)
- New Alternator (200 Amp Bosch AL0817N)
- New belt & tensioner when alternator was done
- Various hoses as needed
- AC Compressor, Condenser, etc 2015
- New Starter
- Other than the above has just been brakes, a relay, light bulbs, wipers, etc
- I've kept the proper load range E Michelin tires on it, needed if you plan to carry 10 passengers
- I would take it on a cross country trip tomorrow and not think twice

Condition Issues:
- No tears in Interior seats, etc.
- Rearmost seat does have a cosmetic crack in the plastic shell on the back of the seat.
- Some pitting and peeling clear coat on hood (no other paint perforations, no rust that I'm aware of)
- Peeling clear coat on rear door
- Needs to be waxed, paint shines up
- Headlight assemblies are a bit foggy, need to be polished or replaced
- Rear air condensate line appears to have clogged, caused leak/stain on headliner
- Occasional glow plug fault (goes away, but comes back if really cold)
- Occasional finicky blinker when not driven much

Our original plans were to convert to a light camper:
- Remove the 3rd rear seat (They unclip)
- Install angled L-track down the sides in the back to support a double sized mattress platform
- Crossbars to be Aluminum loading ramps, which could double for traction mats in a jam
- Build out storage underneath
- Pull the front 3 pass seat, and have our Dometic cooler, microwave, etc there.
- Add swivel to front pass seat
- House battery under front passenger seat, etc
- Move Espar to house battery (or have relay to do so if not running)

This would keep 4 passenger capability, but still sleep two in a bed, and a third on the floor as needed. We prefer to cook outside (bears, condensation, etc).

But we bought a Forester and are now doing less camping. So will use the Subaru for trips. Van is still driven 2-3 days a week by my wife.
