Oh, no by no means.. The van is in fairly good condition; Well maintained. Just that the factory stereo system is dead. I have previously owned something worse than the condition that you describe tho. What oil it didn't leak, it added to the fuel, like a 2 cycle I did put a very nice stereo system in a vehicle that wasn't worth the tires it had on it, several times. What can I say, I like my music. This no music issue with the van will have to be fixed, asap tho. I am fairly confident that I know all the noises of the van now. It's the 2nd fullsize vehicle I've ever driven. a 91 ford econoline 150 commercial class (no passenger seats, passenger anything.. basic, work van).
