This van is coming from a Smoke-free home. no one is allowed to smoke in my cars. Pets have never been in the van either. Newly put on both idler arms. brand NEW battery. brand new tires (less than 500 miles). We are the 5th owner - never wrecked - 8 passenger - both back seats lay flat. unsure if seats are removable. We never tried. Seats slide back & forth for leg comfort. Gas gauge stopped working on me Oct. 2013. Seats are in perfect condition. I stopped driving it about this time last year when we bought a car Easter weekend last year. Purpose of getting rid of Van - I had 2 girls & we would take them & their friends of trips. family trips & groups to Six Flags. Now that the kids have either graduated & left home or about to & they have their own vehicle & drive I no longer need such a big vehicle for myself. We live in South East Missouri. To our knowledge it has never been in an accident. I wouldn't be afraid to jump in it & drive across the US again with it.
