1990 Mitsubishi starwagon GLX (great condition with fully-equipped camping gear) for sale.
5 speed manual, petrol, 5 seat, 2000cc, 293000k, rego untill 17th September 2011, $6000

Picture of the van

I bought this van from a travelling climber last June one day before she left Sydney.
Unfortunately there was no service history recorded except an oil change that had been done just before selling it to me.
So i took it to a mechanic, fixed the brake system (with new wheel cylinders and new shoes), steering system (with new ball joints), a new fuel pump with cleaned tank, and the overhauled and repaired carburettor. So it starts and runs smoothly. but no radio, nor air conditioning fixed. It maybe just needs gas. Blower-fan, heater and lighting inside are in good working order.
just renewed the rego. costed me $6052 including the van and the rego.

Perfect for a pair of travelling climbers who only need 'basic living'. It has a large storage container for climbing gear, a fold-out double bed, blanket, 2 pillows with all the covers and the sheets including spare for all. Several cooking pots, gas cooker, coffee maker, portable shower, water proof tarpaulin for shade, water tank, fuel tank, full curtains and a big mosquito net, so you can leave the back door open, a roof storage, and so on.

All you need after arriving Sydney is to buy a climbing guide book and some food! You can climb in The Blue Mountains from the 1st day.

The reason i am selling this nice van is that i don't really need it. I rarely have more than one day at a time to take it to the Blue Mts to climb.
