Anyone need, or know someone who needs a vehicle?
 

I was going to give my old minivan to someone here on the Planet who was in desperate need of a vehicle, but apparently that person is unable to pick it up, and I can't leave it where it's sitting forever.

So here's the deal...if someone here, preferably a regular, needs it, or knows someone who does, they can have it.

The only conditions are that you will have to convince me that whomever takes it is going to actually try to fix it up and use it, and not just take it and scrap it out. I could do that, but I think the thing still has some decent life left in it. It's currently located in St Joseph so that's where it will need to be picked up, and I need to be assured that it will be picked up in a timely manner without any hassles.

Obviously if it's free, it means it has issues...but none of them at this point are fatal. The major one being that transmission has a leak, but works fine still as long as the fluid level is maintained. It needs a battery immediately. It also has an intermittent electrical issue that can be repaired by someone who knows how to follow instructions, which end of screwdriver to use, and how to use a soldering pencil. There are some other minor issues but I'll go through those if someone decides they want it.

On the flip side, it drives good and has always been a strong runner for me. I just drove it down to St Joe two weeks ago with no problems at all.

Anyone interested?

i'll add a maytag washer and dryer to this for free. wife got a new set and instead of having the delivery guys take the old ones, she thinks she's going to sell them for $50 each. they're setting on my side of the garage and my truck's sitting outside in the ****ing rain.

free...just come get them. they both work fine, she just didn't like the color.

sec

Can you run up to St Joe, grab my van, drive it back to your place and load the washer/dryer in it and bring them to me?

only if you come back w/me and mow my ****in yard.
sec

The official free big ticket items thread

LMAO I can't even keep up with mine right now, we've had like 8 feet of rain in the last month, damn grass is growing like crazy.

Which end of a screwdriver are you supposed to use?

What if its got a bit on each end?

What is a soldering pencil?

What color is the van?

Does it have gas in it? If not could you send me some gas money?

How is the interior?

Any other leaks?

What color are the washer and dryer?

Hell yes, it has a strong 3.8L V-6 in it.

donate to charity

Get receipt over valuing vehichle

Rape on taxes next year

Profit

every 5 days here, and the big mower's broke down so i've had to do it w/just one the last couple times. takes 6 hours and 9 beers.
i was supposed to mow the church yard today, but that ain't gonna happen now.

got a nephew that just got his license living in bellvue. needs something to drive to lacrosse practice/games around town.
sec

Do you think it would float?

Would it look good painted red?

I doubt he wants to drive a minivan

Well that's a bummer. If he wants to go to St Joe and bring it back up here he can have it.

Too many rust holes.

Yes, and even better with a ginormous Husker logo on it.

is it safe to drive?

his dad's from craig and they have family in st.joe. i'll give his old man a call if they're interested, i'll pm you.
sec

I drove it for four years and never died in it. :shrug:

It does have dual air bags so you should be able to crash into just about anything at full speed and walk away uninjured.

What about pink? Or even purple?

Give it some young teen in need. Shaggin wagon

Man if my storage unit had any more room in it I'd be up for the Washer and Dryer.

Bugeater, tried to pm you.... have a son just turned 21 and he has a 2yr old.... they are in need of a vehicle..... thanks

For the price, he wouldn't have cared. LMAO

Oh, my PMs are restricted to contacts. Does he live in the area?

Question: could a person live in this van, assuming that they can use the restroom in Wal-Mart or something?

We live just southeast of Tulsa. I have a access to a truck and car hauler.

Could someone camo it out and use it for a deer stand or duck blind?

Doesnt float. Will have to stay near pond. You could power mojo duck, mallard machine and the vortex off the battery though

Are you seriously willing to drive that far to pick up a 14 year old fixer-upper Dodge Caravan?

check your fb msgs.
sec

Just trying to be a good dad. If he assures me he will help me fix any issues it has without leaving it up to me to do it all for him, then yes, I would be willing to do that for him.

I hate you ****ers. The last precipitation event that yielded an inch was April 2012. We're dying out here.

What an awesome thing for you to do, Bug!!

does it have any bumper stickers?

Pussy Magnet, Perhaps

Maybe he would have better luck driving a minivan than his daddy.LMAO

You think he has better luck behind the wheel than me? Have you been posting on this site long?

LMAO

I bumped somebodies fender. he totaled his car and the one he hit.

Ok, hang tight and if seclark's guy doesn't want it I'll give you next shot at it.

I need a brand new Highlander hybrid if anyone is giving them away...Bob Barker posts here?

Not yet, but if I leave it where it is for too long it may end up with a giant Pyro Joe's logo on it.

IIRC you tried to drive one of your minivans on its side once.

you think joe would let me store this washer/dryer at his place too?
sec

That wasn't my fault,. Some dumbass using his cell phone blasted into the side of our minivan and rolled us completely over and one. To be honest, I felt very lucky to be alive after that.

Did he hang up after that?

"Oh, hey, Brenda. I'll have to call you back. I may have just killed a family."

Heh, the plan never was to "store" it down there. Someone was supposed to meet me there to pick it up the weekend I brought it down.

Yeah I know. You had the family in that when it happened? I thought you were in it alone.

It was me and my two oldest sons. We were a block away from the daycare to pick up my other two kids. Had my youngest been in the van he may not have survived. The truck barreled right into where his car seat was.

Ah, that's right. My memory is going to hell.

Minivan was dubbed the party van and has plenty of use, if you find any joints or baggies hidden return them to bugeater. It still reeks in the van like a scene from Cheech and Chong the police will smell you coming a mile away.

Fuzzy dice and carpet on the walls, random stains on the floor board.
Custom paint job with confederate flags on either side.

:LOL:

Sorry, I didn't know about the roll over. I was giggling about the beer stop and the QT parking lot on the way to the Royals game.

update on the washer/dryer:

wife just sold them for $50 each to some she knows from work, or somewhere.

thing is, she told them i'd deliver them.:mad:

sec

Poor bastard! Put that hundred towards lawn mowing beer.

would you consider selling her?:evil:

told her...TOLD HER to let the delivery guys take them back. hell, they even asked. i saw this coming.
sec

i suppose i'd have to ****ing deliver her too.
sec

My little brother (from Big Brothers / Big Sisters) is really in need of a vehicle. He's 20 looking for a job and not handy which means I'll have to spring for or do the repairs myself. If you think it would make it to KC without being towed I might be your Huckleberry.

I know. I still blame Bug for that.

It's actually Luv's fault for not reminding us to wait for Bearcat at the hotel. That's what set the chain of events into motion.

Would have been nice to get if I had any way to get it. Bummer.


Thanks any ways.

mopar minivan?
already had the transmission replaced?

Do you still have it? My mom could really use it and she's a great person

Chiefsplanet garage sale

Heh, no, original one with 185k on it. It might last another month, or it could last a year or more...who knows. But when it goes, the van is scrap metal. That's pretty much why I'm giving it away.

I think I have a taker at this point. Not sure I'd give this thing to anyone's mom though...lol. I might go to hell for that.

pics first

Tell them you'd be glad to deliver and install them for another $50 each.

While we're giving away items...I have a wing back chair, a love seat, and a recliner to get rid of. I currently have someone who might be interested in the wing back and/or love seat, but no deals yet.

Anyone in Springfield like garage sales? I will be having one June 21-22. :)

This! Maybe not $50 each but when you deliver the the units tell them that your wife asked that they go ahead an pay you the $50 for delivery and stand there like you are waiting to get paid.


If they pay you then great! Your wife will be pissed off after her friend/co-worker informs her they didn't remember having to pay for delivery. Tell your wife it was her fault for not negotiating your time/effort into the fee.

Best case scenerio: They pay (beer money) and your wife never sets you up again!

Worse case scenerio: They don't pay, tell your wife, and your wife never sets you up again!;)

nope...they're loaded up in the truck right now and i'm making the delivery after work tonight. she's supposed to collect the $ today.

i'll just bitch about it for the next couple weeks, and she'll ignore it. you two don't know much about marriage, do you?
sec

If not let me know man. Thanks!

Does the same rule apply for Mother-In-Laws?
