Welcome to the site. You'll fine lots of good advice here. Watch out for the smurf. :smurf: He's a good guy with an awesome van, but a little weird at times.

Welcome to ASV's. Bunch of good folks here and by the way,,very very nice conversion. Not alot of black ones around.
It looks like the 15000 may be right but you'd be a better judge of that looking at the seat wear, scuffs on the plastic sill plate on the drivers side, carpet condition. Just over all general wear and then compare to another van.
Again,,welcome.
