Hello Fellows,
I am really newb at motor vehicles and I need your advice!
I saw a local craigslist person selling his 1994 Chevy G20 Conversion van for $1700, but he's telling me that engine may need to be fixed. Engine making some pinging noises when it accelerating to 4000ish RPM. He was told by two separate mechanics that if treated with kindness, this engine will go for 50,000 more miles before a very serious problem happens - although they both recommended fixed ASAP. Current mileage is 196,000.
I always wanted to buy a van and I was planning to build solar panel into it but this van already comes with solar panel, intake, batteries (Cost about $1000 all together).
Is it worth spending money to rebuild engine for 1994 chevy g20 van? I know it would cost me $1000 for solar panel set up so this van is very tempting to me. Should I take it to a auto shop before I buy it?
Do you guys know how much it would cost to rebuild engine? engine + labor? Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
