#383 of 423 HELP quick by billy6 Jun 26, 2005 (5:29 pm)
Ok, here I am after 10 companies and streams of faxes. I am looking at a 2005 Chevy Express Extended 9 passenger V8 - 6.0 RWD, Low top Explorer conversion. This thing has everything, or at least thus far in dealing with the sales rep over the phone. Two 15" LCD drop down, two DVD players, leather, rear radio, 8 wireless headsets, cooler/cup warmer, on and on, the only thing I am not getting is the upgraded wheels, GPS and other high end electronic gizmos. I am getting the beeping sensor for the rear. Before tax and lic price is 39,841. Meeting with the rep Tuesday out here in San Diego. Last chance for me to even haggle any more if possible, so if anyone can let me know if this is a good price I would be extremely appreciative, first time van purchaser.
#384 of 423 DONT BUY DODGE by beckym Jul 10, 2005 (6:29 am)
MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2001 CONVERSION VAN 3 1/2 YEARS AGO, AND ITS BEEN NOTHING BUT A NIGHTMARE. BEFORE IT HAD 20,000 MILES WE CHANGED THE WHEEL BEARINGS TWICE, AND NOW THAT IT HAS 33,000 MILES WE HAVE HAD IT TOWED 3 TIMES TO THE DEALER, AND THEY CANT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY ALL CLAIM THEY FIX IT, BUT IT KEEPS GETTING TOWED BACK FOR THE SAME THING. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THIS VAN, AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. CUSTOMER SERVICE SUCKS, AND THEY ALL ACT LIKE YOUR CRAZY. THE LAST TIME (YESTERDAY) WE WENT TO PICK UP FROM THE DEALER, AND WE WERE ABOUT 20 MILES AWAY, WHEN IT ALL HAPPEND AGAIN. CALLED THEM UP AND SAID YOU NEED TO TOW THIS VAN BACK, BUT THEY WANTED US TO PAY ADDITIONAL $60 DOLLARS. WHAT, I SAID. YOU DID NOT FIX IT RIGHT, AND YOU WANT ME TO TOW BACK. AFTER THE ROUND AND ROUND THEY FINALLY AGREED TO TOW BACK. WE WILL SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. I USED TO OWN A TOYOTA, AND NEVER, NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT, AND GUESS WHAT THATS WHAT IM GOING TO BUY AGAIN. MAYBE I HAVE A LEMON, BUT WHEN YOUR PAYING GOOD MONEY FOR THESE CONVERSION VANS, YOU EXPECT MORE!! DO NOT PAY STICKER PRICE, BECAUSE YOU WILL REGRET IT. LUCKILY MY HUSBAND GOT THE PRICE FROM $45,000 TO BELOW $30,000. ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT THATS STILL A LOT OF MONEY. I WILL NEVER BUY DODGE AGAIN.   THANKS BECKY

Replying to: fkminek (Dec 03, 1997 3:41 pm) I needed to get the engine rebuilt in my 1990 VW Vanagon. I chose JustVeeDubs, a company in Campe Verde, Arizona. Spoke with Jose there and he said it would take 2 weeks to rebuild the engine, and then ship it back to us with additional parts (clutch, radiator, etc.). He also promised a 60K mile or 5 year warranty. I shipped the engine on June 9 and still haven't received it as of Sept. 25. The company is impossible to work with. They seldom if ever respond to voice mails or emails. If you get an email response, it contains some new lame excuse for the delay and a new promised shipment date which, of course, never materializes. Our engine is still in Arizona and we have little hope that it will ever come back, let alone come back in good working order. I highly recommend that you stay clear of this establishment and avoid the stress and the hassle that JustVeeDubs can generate.   Replies to this message: gagrice (Sep 26, 2005 7:09 am) bgn (Jan 14, 2007 7:15 pm)

Replying to: davny (Sep 25, 2005 11:33 pm) Hopefully you did not pay in advance! If you put it on a CC be sure and report it to the CC company as you only have 90 days to dispute charges. I am a firm believer in payment on delivery and using CC to have a big stick if they default.

#390 of 423 1999 Chevy Express Conversion Van Is it Worth $10,000? by thehinge Nov 01, 2005 (10:51 am)
It has 80k miles, it is a conversion van, extended size, 1500, holds 7 or 8 people, but it is a flat top, Sherrod EVO I. It has no TV, cloth interior, towing package, running boards. I'm not really sure why it's a conversion van, since it doesn't have so many of the extras, but it is one. It's well taken care of and I know the owners. I do not want to insult them, but the best I can verify is about $8000. KBB lists low, NADA is high, the loan folks don't care, and ebay has high bidders about 6600. AutoTrader.com has lots of folks asking about $10,000, but I don't know if they are actually getting it. Please. Any help is appreciated.

Replying to: jah3 (Sep 30, 2005 9:01 am) Hi, jah3,   While we don't allow buying and selling in our Forums, you're likely to get some feedback about the value of your van in one of the discussions in our Smart Shopper Forum. You might also try the vehicle pricing options at Edmunds.com -- just click the Used VEhicles tab to get started.
