I have a 98 E350 club wagon moto hauler I got from another BARFer last year I am going to sell as it is no longer needed.
I got it last spring to help us move a business and a house, now that is done and it is time for it to go as it is a 4th car for us. I put over $3k after purchasing making it more comfortable, reliable and handle better/safer.
Extra tall top, extended body with extra tall rear doors, ex-wheelchair van. About 5'8" inside headroom, plenty of room for 3 motos and gear with the rear bench still in place. This thing is massive inside and is great for track bikes and dirtbikes as well as moving big stuff. The tall doors in the back make a HUGE difference for ease of loading over a standard van. I was pondering transforming it into a family camper now that the moving is done but we need to downsize the fleet back to 2 or 3 cars and I need all 4wd up here in Truckee for the snow.
Everything listed is less than a year old:
Suspension: new Michelin ltx tires ($1k alone!), steering box, steering linkages and ends, sway bar bushings, radius arm bushings, alignment, adjustable camber/caster bushings, Bilstien shocks, rear drums recut, front rotors cut and new pads, replaced pass rear spring pack as one leaf was broken, new factory style hubcaps.
Engine: runs great, driven from SF to tahoe at least 20 times by me, never a problem, many trackdays by previous owner (before all work was performed) passed smog a year ago when I got it, about 235k (I have to recheck), recent oil and filter, iridium spark plugs, air filter, gear selector switch.
Interior: nice vinyl front buckets from 2005 E350 added, new stereo and 4 speakers, front and rear carpets removed, quick release removable single rear bench seat, have all the brackets to add more benches, front and rear AC/heat fully operational with new blend doors installed (common problem on E350s)
Other: new Curt class 4 trailer hitch and wiring, stock front seats and other parts included, awesome storage shelf above front passengers, newer style center console added. Lots more work not listed fixing all the little things that shake loose or wear out on a 17 year old vehicle.
Negatives for full disclosure: Cracked windshield. Just started to leak a bit of water at the front pass corner of the hightop seal if it rains hard. I was just going to put some sealant on the joint all the way around from the outside. Smokes a little bit on startup if it has been sitting. Even though I put a ton of money into the front end and brakes, it still vibrates a bit braking hard, was told the rear shoes need a new hardware kit. It has a few small dings and scratches, a little rust was repaired with a welded patch and repainted at the rear doors. ABS light is on, I cleaned all the sensors but haven't replaced any as it does not bother me.
I am looking for $4500 for it. I have gone through everything that needs attention and I trust this truck to go anywhere. Van is currently in Truckee.
PM me if interested, local cash sale only, not looking for trades, except maybe a newer KTM 300xc ;-)
pics from previous owner when I got it, prior to all work. I will get some fresh ones later...
