So I browse Craigslist regularly hoping to secure a 'sister ship' to my current Van. This ad caught my eye today:
http://reno.craigslist.org/cto/4177716240.html
Picture in case it disappears:
I can't seem to find any mentioned of 4WD or AWD in period literature or on info sites. Was this actually an option? When I called the seller, he said it was a 'special order' for the LS trim, but didn't know much about it otherwise.
I figure if anyone would know, it would be someone here! So what are your thoughts?
Do all-wheel drive Van/Wagons exist?

Re: Do all-wheel drive Van/Wagons exist?
I've never seen or heard of that shape L300 with any kind of 4WD except the Montero/Pajero based system, which always has the 6-stud wheel hubs.
I can't imagine why Mitsubishi would go to the effort of fitting an AWD system to a vehicle they already had a 4WD version of. Ask him for a photo of the front driveshafts

Nothing says "poor workmanship" more than wrinkles in the duct tape.

Perhaps the vendor means that the Vanwagon has all the wheels.

I think the claim is probably false. Nevertheless, as of a few moments ago, the seller has dropped his price to 1K.

Someone out west wanna bite? I want to, but the cost of transport is realistically too much to justify.

Re: Do all-wheel drive Van/Wagons exist?
I'm going to go out there and take a look at it this week. I've been in contact with the seller and they assure me it's AWD.
I'm skeptical about it too. If I end up buying it, I'll show everyone what's really going on.
