Have my VW westy out front for sale and Guy walks in says he has an Aero mate for trade . Was wondering if anyone has driven one or knows about them . Was thinking shop/work/track vehicle .

The color looks like a retired DHL delivery truck.
Do these vehicles have Dodge Dakota running gear?

The Googles says that it is Dodge Carvan, minivan, fwd running gear. Were available in 3.3L and 3.8L. Weren't these known for some trans issues. Looks like a big box that can carry light things but not too heavy of things. Might not be a the best for a guy who carries heavy loads like a plumber but great for a guy that carries lighter loads like a drycleaner.
Likely not good for loading with parts and then trying to tow a race trailer with.

I have no idea where, but somehow I got the idea that was a Renault under there.

Don't know a thing about them.

But it seems to be an ironical name.

This plus the SRT-4 engine talk would make a good merged thread.
