Hello Rob, I just came off the phone with Harry.
I am in Campbell River now, and I did not buy a GMC in the Toronto area.
One was in very bad condition, and the other was worse.
I was sure, I'd have problems with it on the way to BC.
And I have taken the Greyhound to Campbell River, BC, and knew, I would
have had problems after seeing the immense monotone roads to Calgary,
and the immense Rocky Mountains towards BC.
I will look at a "car" tomorrow, to get me around Canada, and the U.S.
In the U.S. I will look for a GMC, and if I do find one, I will get myself
a tow dolly, to drag this car around with me, I will not just get rid of it.
For those of you wondering if it will be a Tracker (also called, Samurai
or Jimny), no, I'll be looking for a late 90s Grand Caravan - Something
very similar to what I have, a 1990 Chrysler Voyager. I know all about
the 3 Litre engine, the troublesome transmission, and some about the 3.3
and 3.8. At 1500 canadian asking, I guess I won't lose too much money on
it, if I'd have to leave it behind, if that scenario would happen.
After registering this Minivan on my name and my relatives address, I'll
be driving down to California, also picking up the front seats John from
the forum offered me - since those were always a selling point - and hopefully
meet you guys in and around of Victoria, BC for a nice, long chat so I know
what to look for when travelling towards Cali and looking around for a GMC.
All the best - from Campbell River

PS: I was told by two GMCnet people now not to waste my time in seeing this
Coach on Vancouver Island, since the seller had a funny idea of what it was
worth. The second coach I've seen in Toronto, the red one, said he'd not go
below 5000 canadian, and in spring I've seen a coach on eBay that was in
better condition, starting at $1, going for 1435 USD. So I'll look in the US.
- The good the bad and the ugly and its all me -
