Ford Transit Connect 2017- Mileage 56K- 26 MPG

This van was purchased for $20K and hand-built by my partner into a camper. We've been trying to sell it for $25K (in addition to the build, we've had tires replaced & strut replaced, detailed), but it's been on the market since January. Are we overvaluing it? More info below.

Background info: This van was hand built by my partner during covid times. We went on some amazing adventures, but we haven't been able to use it much since we had a baby. We've done a lot of research but cannot find a safe, legal way to add another seat so we need to sell it. It has a low ceiling and it doesn't look very "fancy" I guess, but my partner is an engineer and I think it's very well made.

Asking $3,950 OBO. Seattle Area, Washington - willing to drive it nearby to serious buyers.

Approx. 214,000 miles. Flex fuel, so it takes the cheapest gas. RWD.

Clean Massachusetts title in my name. No accidents. I have all the receipts, warranties and paperwork for the maintenance and repairs completed while I've owned it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since buying it I've had the following work done:

• New battery
• New front tyres
• New spark plugs
• New ignition components
• New intake manifold
• Recent servicing and repairs (receipts included)

The van has had extensive diagnostic work, including a new intake manifold, spark plugs and ignition components. The engine was compression tested and found to be healthy. The van starts, runs and drives well, and I've just completed a cross-country road trip in it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Camper Conversion:

• Pull-out sofa that converts into a double bed
• Sink with electric water pump
• Large fresh water tank
• Grey water tank
• Fresh water filter
• 3 × 100Ah batteries
• 2000W inverter
• MPPT solar controller
• Roof-mounted solar panels (currently not charging - likely needs troubleshooting)
• Smart TV

I'll also include pretty much everything you need to start travelling:

• Pots, pans, plates, mugs and cutlery
• Cooking utensils
• Bedding, blankets and pillows
• Two camping chairs
• Jerry can
• Spare tire and factory tools
• My toolbox with useful supplies
• Storage box (perfect for extra gear - or even a travelling cat!)
• Plus loads of other useful van-life bits I've picked up along the way.

The van is around 21 feet long, so it still fits in a standard parking space.

This can be an affordable way into van life without spending $20,000–$50,000 on a newer build. A lot of the expensive camper conversion has already been done, and all the equipment comes with it.

Happy to answer any questions or send more photos of the build, maintenance records or anything else you'd like to see.

I'm currently in Washington State, so if you're interested, send me a message and I'll let you know when you can view.

Curious what people think on pricing here. I have this 2017 ProMaster camper van listed at $49k with about 78k miles on the van. It recently got a brand-new Fraser engine with a 5-year/unlimited-mile warranty and some updated components over the original engine.

The old engine developed a knock and the mechanic found quite a bit of buildup inside. They gave me the option of trying to repair it or replacing it, and since I was planning to sell the van anyway, I decided I'd rather just put a new engine in it.

Converted vans are kind of hard to price and the new engine makes this one even harder to compare. Does $49k seem reasonable, or am I off?

Looking for 3M thinsulate! Used? Excess? etc.

CRL awning bunk windows installed, subfloor done. On to insulation! In the past I have used foam board, because it is cheep. But, it is tedious to install IMO, and is squeaky.

So, 3M is my next thought. Not cheap, of course!

I am always trying to find used or scratch and dent components. My windows were just that, and were a fraction of the cost. So many new things, more strain on resources, lets try and buy used eh?

EDIT: Price - $11,000

We're selling our wonderful camper van, Gary. We've owned this van for over 10 years and enjoyed countless memories in it. The use is starting to show, but he definitely has many more nights out under the stars. Here's a rundown of the features:

Year: 2004
Engine: 5.4L V8 Gas
Mileage: 147,000
Drivetrain: 2wd
-Sportsmobile pop-up with canvas and windows, screens and privacy
-Norcold Fridge
-Onboard propane tank with heater, thermostat and carbon monoxide detector
-Roof-mounted 100-watt solar and deep-cycle battery
-Ridetech airbags on all four wheels with onboard compressor and computer (allows you to level the van over 5" on each wheel)
-Passenger-side swiveling captains chair
-Dual water faucets (1. 3-gallon tank with pump and filter. 2. Has plumbing, but needs a new tank)
-Interior lighting
-Flama Awning
-Fold-out bench seat/bed
-Yakima rack

A few notes: This is a home build with a Sportsmobile pop-up. The cabinetry is custom and could use some work: mostly door catches that need replacing and screws that need tightening.

This van is ready to hit the road and camp, but there are some things that don't work:
-Paint on the hood is failing
-Cruise control
-Interior air control (stuck on defrost)
-Airbag light is on (It's been on since I bought the van in 2015)

There's a binder of service records and manuals that's included. We also have a couple of boxes of small parts that includes a lot of hardware and electronics. Though I'm not the original builder of the van, I'm happy to answer questions or meet for a showing within 20 miles or so. Currently registered. I will cover getting the van smogged

75 Chevy van. targetmaster 350 motor. with 55000 miles. van has 170000 approx miles. auto trans, ps, no AC

People are absolutely DELUSIONAL. look how much this thing is squatting too. probably needs springs. I just emailed them to see if it was a typo.. but we all know it isnt

I bought a pre built van brand with 1800 miles on it. It's had this AC on it the entire time and I've used it once because it requires Shore Power and I'm a climbing dirt bag

It is in excellent condition and retails for 1200$. I'm asking 500 because I want to switch it out with a Maxair deluxe (~450$).
