**Condition / Known Issues:**
- Currently non-running due to a dead battery. Van went into "limp mode" in 2022, suspected cause is an intake/boost leak. Getting a new battery installed this weekend — once that's in, the van should run again, just limited to roughly 35 mph while in limp mode. Will update this listing to confirm once tested, and will pull the exact ECU fault code at that time too. Message me if you'd like an update when that's done.
- Mileage is unconfirmed until the battery's in and it can be checked. Last known mileage was 221,426 at its 2022 smog check.
- Registered non-op in California since 2022.
- Rust above the windshield and a small (few inches) rust hole in the rear floor (see photo). Both present since I bought the van in 2018 (previous owner was out of state, in a wetter climate) and have not visibly progressed in the 8 years I've owned it.
- Driver's door hinges are damaged — door needs to be handled carefully and aligned properly to close.
- Interior is dirty/bare; simple fold-down bed frame in back (easily removable).
Cash only, as-is, no warranty. Should be driveable at low speed (~35 mph) once the new battery is in this weekend, but be prepared for towing/flatbed as a backup if it doesn't cooperate. Serious inquiries only — message with questions or to schedule a viewing.
**Optional add-on: 2005 motorcycle project**
Also have a 2005 Honda motorcycle that's been stored in the van, not run or registered since 2010. CA plates, NY title. Selling as-is for $200 with the van purchase.
