1989 Ford E-150 Econoline Van. Fairly solid, does need an alternator and TLC

1989 Ford E-Series Van Additional Info:

For sale is one 1989 Ford Econoline conversion van as shown. Item is sold AS IS, WHERE IS, far west side of Cleveland, Ohio 44111. Be it known that the vehicle cranks and starts near immediately, drives smooth, shifts and stops as expected. No excessive or blue smoke. Milage is believed accurate as shown. Less than 115,000 miles. Tires have good tread and are wearing well. No clunks or suspension noises. Vehicle accelerates, brakes and coasts smoothly.
The story of this Van: My shop, specializing in undercar service, brakes, steering, suspension and the like, has serviced this van for the family since march 27 2007 [16.68 years, roughly..], mileage then, 96,959 [!!] Life happens and it stayed most of the time indoors. Used infrequently. Fast forward, is 2023. Other vehicles need service, and this one is not high on the list, so I take it, so to speak. We don’t do electrical and have close quarters parking, so here it is on eBay. I could have called the local wrecking years and it would have ben gone this morning, but I think its worth an offer to someone who may need this opportunity. I take my eBay seriously and would not risk negative feedback or a dissatisfied buyer if it could be avoided. That said, I offer this vehicle, AS IS, WHERE IS, with the confidence that winning bidder will have read this and done their due diligence. Prudent buyers will ask question in advance. Please know in advance that I can only check this auction one or two time daily, so offer NO guarantee on response time. It’s the real world, and here we are.

KNOWN ISSUES: the ALTERNATOR DOES NOT CHARGE. It is a perfectly good vehicle that needs CHARGING SYSTEM SERVICE. The vehicle WILL START and RUN ON a charged battery. To be reliable ALTERNATOR or Charging system service will be required, [unless one wished to carry a spare battery, kind of like a Tesla, LOL].* Radio is staticy. Heat blows warm @ 32F here in Cleveland. It’s too cold for old-school A/C to kick in, so that is stated up front that it will NOT be a deal-breaker if it does to blow cold in warmer temps.
Vehicle has sat with minimal use since a loved on passed. Vehicle will need a good [satisfyling] exterior cleaning. Interior has no unpleasant odors from smoke or mildew / mustiness. A good vacuuming and wipe down would bring the interior up to par. The rear seat was placed in to be shown as being included. It was previously removed for carrying boxes to consolidate several homes.
I am placing an exceptionally reasonable listing price of $499.99 dollars, based on what I have in this and what eBay will knick me for in fees. Fair enough? I think so, too. So, with good intentions, and probably one of the least costly running vehicles on eBay. I offer the Econoline with Velour and Oak trim. Be well and do well
!!!! Buyer will arrange local pickup of said vehicle. Title is presented as free and clear upon payment. Title will be transferred before vehicle moves. Buyer will arrange pick up or transportation. Buyer will be assessed for taxes deemed ...blah, blah, ...by eBay and the local taxing authority. This we cannot escape. We will help wherever and whenever possible. Local notary service available.
Best wishes to all. Tom
