My son just sold his E350 Club wagon (almost identical to mine) as shown in "what does everyone drive" for $700. The van is a good reliable vehicle with great tires and a 5.8L strong running powerplant. I won't list all the other goodies but it was a really sweet work van.

I just took his old van....E250HD (8550Lb package) in for scrap without the tranny....I'm gonna strip it (E40D) and sell it for the aluminium components. Long story made short.....The "junker" was worth $610 just for scrap!!

I'm not peeved at the kid for "giving" his van away....it's just nice to see that someone can get some use out of a vehicle that was no longer needed for his line of work.

I'm going to get rid of another E250HD for scrap....I would be too embarassed to sell it for more than scrap price. It still runs but needs some work....body rusted, broken brake line, exhaust....it has seen better days.

This not a solicitation to sell the old van....I'm just talking to hear myself. That sometimes happens in old age....LOL
