Default Newbie with a question or two!

Hi guys, new to the forum and the scene!

The reason I am here is that I am thinking of buying a Van. It's been described as a 'Chrysler Dodge 1989 Day Van', although it doesn't really look like any other ones I have seen.
Was hoping you might be able to shed some light on it for me. It's got a 3.0 petrol engine, and thus ends my knowledge!

I have put some photos on Flickr..

I am toying with swapping my beloved Mercedes for it so am looking for any info or advice you might have

Welcome to the Dodgeforum

These types of vans are a bit heavy for a small v6. For that year and style in North America, it usually was fitted with a small to intermediate v8. Not sure what model of Benz you are considering to trade, but you may want to try selling first then buying.

If the seller jumps on your trade that should send up a flag as to why. Your fuel cost will jump as the engine is not matched to the vehicle weight...

Good Luck and Keep us Posted!!!
