Time to update the van in the family. Have a 93GMC 2500 with a Waldoch conversion (no leather, TV or VCR). 98,000 highway miles. Runs and looks great. How bout it jboater, any idea on value? Thanks |

| Would love some advice on how to price "invoice" on new conversions for full size vans. Have been looking at several converters, and so far like Legend and Glaval. And, of course, I seem to gravitate to their "top of the line." Glaval seemed high with conversion packages on the vans I'm considering from $13K to $18K. Legend's similarly equipped versions ran $9K to $12K. Does anyone have any idea where to find reliable information on actual cost to get a more realistic view of what the dealer invoice is? | |

srpgip, I have no info on Glaval or on Legend. I believe they choose not to publish any numbers. Sorry, Jerry |

does anyone have any experience or comments on Explorer vans? They seem relatively expensive (compared to others). Any suggestions on pricing these? Jim |

I spoke to Explorer last fall before settling on another conversion van. Explorer was more expensive but they look very sharp on the inside and outside. They also have a lot more bells and whistles which can push the price of a vehicle up to $50M. I settled on a different converter but Explorer was my distant #2. This site was very helpful in my decision making. Jerry was especially helpful--thanks!! I've taken my van on several long trips and have been very pleased. I picked up a low top as I like to garage it. It's occassionally a hassle to have to hurdle the TV to get back and forth from the drivers seat but other than that, the lower roof does not phase us. |

We have a '93 Regency Brougham conversion in our Chevy van and have enjoyed it thoroughly. It is well designed and well built. As I understand, Regency is owned by the Fort Worth-based Don Davis Auto Group, and they are quite prominent in the DFW area. Any specific questions, feel free to email me and I will see what I can do to provide an answer. Craig handymancr |

Our local dealer has a 97 Gran Prix Chevy conversion with 39,0000 miles for $20,747. This seems high for a used conversion to me and I can't seem to find any info on the Gran Prix conversion either. Anyone have any info? |
|
| Just a few more questions. Has anyone out there looked at/purchased the half back conversion? And why do they appear to cost more than full conversions? We are thinking that it might be the way to go. The back cargo area would work for safely hauling tools/camping gear and the seating for 5 would be sufficient most of the time. The kids like to drive separate anyway. We also have a couple of canoes to haul but figure we will have to get a trailer for this. | |
