SELLER MESSAGE
Hi, I'm comparing used minivans for my family. Please send the VIN, mileage, exact trim/drivetrain, seating-layout photos and service/repair records. Are all original seats, belts, head restraints and necessary hardware present? Please describe sliding-door problems, warnings, repairs, known damage and recall-repair history. I'd like to try our passenger, restraint and luggage arrangement while parked, following the manuals, and arrange an independent inspection including both doors before committing. If you're a dealer, please send an itemized out-the-door quote for my registration ZIP and identify optional products separately. Are those checks possible before I travel?
