Here is a
NO RESERVE “priced
to go” 7-day auction
for a damaged commercial white Chevrolet Express 2500 2000
3/4 ton cargo van equipped with a 5.0L V8 gasoline powered engine, automatic
transmission and vinyl driver and passenger high back bucket seats. The cargo
van has been equipped with a high quality grey steel separation/protection cage
with a service door for quick access between the cargo bay area and the front cabin.
It also has a convenient paperwork bin attached to the door.
The cargo van was unfortunately victim of a frontal accident last summer during
a service call out of town. The front metal bumper, plastic grill, miscellaneous plastic parts in the engine compartment (from what we see at
least the battery tray) and the hood are damaged and must be replaced. The
front hood latch support frame has been bent slightly inward and must be
straighten outward for the hood to close and latch properly. Both the driver and
passenger side air bags did deploy during the impact (fortunately none of my technicians
were seriously hurt BTW). The passenger door slightly scrapes the front fender due
to the bent supports mentioned above. The center console suffered damage as
merchandise slid and slammed into it from the cargo area during the sudden deceleration
(the cargo door was left open). The only mechanical problem we are aware of is
a broken transmission coolant line outgoing from the transmission to the
radiator that ruptured in the impact causing the ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid)
to spray out with vigour. However, the radiator itself seams not to be affected
as it still holds coolant. The driver side bucket seat has had its seating surface
replaced with white vinyl as the original was split open from wear and tear. The
severely bent bumper was removed only to permit the van to drive around the lot
and its 2 large fixation bolts and damaged bumper have been left in the cargo bay
to eventually attach a replacement one. It is a year 2000 van and there is rust
present (please examine photos).
The van was towed back on a
flat bed to our parking lot after the crash (to unload and take inventory of
the damaged merchandise aboard) and after arriving many hours later, the engine
still started up normally and the vehicle was actually driven under its own
power off the flatbed tow truck and into it’s parking space.
On a positive side, all
glass is intact, mirrors are fine, all doors function and latch properly, all lights
inside and outside work (even the front headlights and flashers – they are hanging
in the photos as they are usually attached directly to the grill which has been
damaged in the accident). The vehicle still has its original onboard jack kit secured
in the rear passenger side cargo bay.
So, this is your chance to get your hands on a really inexpensive commercial
grade van to repair/rebuild/tinker around with and/or for salvaging its good parts
to repair another one.
Note that this cargo van was originally imported from the United States in its early years and
the speedometer and odometer readings are thus displayed in miles (not kilometres).
All photos in this listing are those of the van you are bidding for so please
examine them carefully before bidding.
