Alf !  Goed je weer te zien jongen 
How've you been man? it's been ages, I thougt you maybe wanted to keep distance a bit since the charger's gone but glad to see you back.

That van is not a bad price considering the location and it looks to be in very fair shape.
I never had a Dodge van but I did have similar vans and trucks pass my shop. All 4 wheelwells will be a touchy point, the cab area near the pedals and under the seats, rocker pannels and more so where they're connected to the fenders.
The usual really, imagine a Ford Transit and you're close.
Check the windshield rubber for wear and try to lift it a bit, see if there's some life left in it, if not then it's not keeping water out, look for bubbles under the paint, no matter how tiny.
Same goes for any fixed window but for obvious reasons, the windshield's the first to give you trouble.
You're not gonna paint any 'free candy' crap on the sides are ya ? 

Keep us posted

hoi doc, alles is ok hier

bij jou ook?

great to be back....ones in a while i came here to read some thing but it's no fun without a mopar

so, i'll be back and hope to stay forever with my new car.

so, the usual stuf to watch out for.......

and the price is nice to, tax free allways cost some more here in the netherlands, and with lpg it's cheap driving.

now we have a daihatsu rocky, it really sucks....i hate that thing so we will trade it in if we get enough for the rocky.

we  use the rocky for towing a 1000 kg horsetrailer( ad 800 kg for the horses), so  what's nicer than a fan with a v8 with plenty of room for horse stuf and sleeping over at a horse contest....

i will check the b 200 real good, and hope it's a good deal.

thanx doc,

alf

Hey, ALfred..the van looks great for the money.....
Could'nt read the ad (dutch isn't one of my languages....bit of a shame seeing as there is such Mopar interest with you guys over there.!)
To re  iterate the point, you need to check the window seals really carefully...It'll cost a lot to put right if she doesn't hold water...and also the rust bug will have got a hold too..
Good luck there.

Thanks for bothering to translate Alfred...man, I love translations!
Anyway seriously, the LPG thing is a real bonus, I don't know if you are familiar with LPG systems, but i've been running one for 6 years, absolutely great, and it sounds from the ad like all the critical components have been overhauled/replaced recently...
Price for LPG in the UK is less than half the price of petrol (gas)..so makes great sense. I think it is easily as cheap in Europe..
Good luck Alf,

hey limey, over here the price of lpg is 45 eurocents/liter.

petrol is 1.40 euro/liter ( cheapest petrol)

so it realy makes sense to drive on lpg.

i did have some cars on lpg,drives great, u only lose some hp (5-10%) on lpg.

right now i have a opel commodore slant 6 on lpg, it uses 1 liter on 8 km....go figure how cheap it is in use.

the opel is taxfree also

saves a lot to....

my boss pays me for the km i have to make to get to my work, so the money he pays me evry month is so much that i can drive for free(on lpg)...the whole month.....i love it
