I bought it at 119K from some sort of small dealer, he also sold parts and repairs - he had aquired it from the orginial owners. This was about '07, it was the third Chevy van I had looked at and way superior to the first two. It had deluxe Michelins, 235/75R15s, all in good shape, even the spare was the same tire. I took that as a sign the owners were not stingy with maintenance. I really doubt the dealer guy bought those tires, the selling price was $1500, I suspect those would have easily been $500 to $600.

Good call on the chain and timing sprockets. I found them just now at NAPA for $44.
