Garden City, New York, United States

  Original owner selling very low mileage 2000 FORD WINDSTAR SE wheelchair accessible van. 
  • 33k original, documented miles
  • Vantage Mobility (VMI) Northstar factory wheelchair conversion, which includes a lowered floor, in-floor power ramp, and power kneeling feature.

  • Runs and drives well (see note on transmission below), and is very clean; upholstery is in excellent condition.

  • Very well maintained; with oil changes every 3000 miles, brand new tires, new front struts/rear shocks, new battery, new front brakes, etc. Fresh oil/filter change. A/C blows cold.

  • Never been in an accident (but see pictures for minor curb damage to fiberglass panel at bottom of L/R door). Never smoked in.

  • Clean Carfax

  • Comes with wheelchair tie downs which have never been used since the van also comes with installed and fully operational EZ Lock wheelchair receiver mounted in front passenger position (costs $1350 + installation if purchased new). Note, to use the EZ Lock, you will need a wheelchair mounting bracket and bolt assembly which can be purchased from EZ Lock.

  • Also comes with the original passenger's front seat (mounted on platform) and second row captains seats (all of which have never been used). Driver's seat is also factory mounted on removable platform to enable use by wheelchair-bound driver (van has no hand controls).  Also comes with original mat set, still in original packaging. 

  • Ramp is approx. 29” wide, height at entrance is approx. 54”, and height in front seating position is approx. 56”.

  • Transmission drives and shifts smoothly, except that very occasionally when first started it may initially not engage. When this occurs, it resolves in about 30 seconds after which it operates without incident. This has been occurring occasionally for over 10 years – and occurred most recently months ago – and neither Ford dealer nor transmission shop has been able to replicate or diagnose. Beyond the mild inconvenience when it occasionally occurs at start-up, it has never caused us a problem.

I have tried to describe the issues and flaws fully and accurately but, to state the obvious, it is not a new vehicle. It has the typical imperfections for its age, mileage and use. Mechanical inspection is encouraged prior to bidding, since vehicle is sold “as is” with no warranty. We are selling the van because our needs have changed. I am happy to answer any other questions before you bid. Call Dick at (516) 937-8145.

Deposit of $500 via PayPal from winning bidder must be received within 24 hours after auction ends, with balance due by bank check or wire transfer within 7 days. If either is not timely received, I reserve the right to relist or sell to another party. Vehicle is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction to make a local sale.

Ford reveals Fiesta ST race car, points at road ahead for bigger things in Global RallyCross

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Ford Fiesta ST doesn't go on sale until this summer, but fans of Global RallyCross will be able to catch the car in action before then. Announced ahead of the Chicago Auto Show, the Fiesta ST will be the car run by Ford GRC teams this season, and the model on display in Chicago will be the racecar built by Swedish tuner OlsbergsMSE driven by Tanner Foust and Brian Deegan. Ken Block and his newly renamed Hoonigan Racing Division will also be competing in the Fiesta ST.
The 2013 GRC season has not been announced yet, but the venues will also include the summer X Games events in Brazil, Spain, Germany and, of course, Los Angeles. Ford announced that it will be the sole automotive sponsor of this year's summer X Games, and it will be looking to bring home a gold medal this year after Block placed silver last year.
In other Ken Block- and Ford-related news, another Chicago debut will be a tuned Focus ST called the TrackSTer project. Built in cooperation with Block, Ford and automotive tuner fifteen52, the TrackSTer will get plenty of styling, performance and handling upgrades. Some of the add-ons include a performance exhaust and short-throw shifter from Ford Racing, a rebuilt engine, upgraded components such as the limited-slip differential, intercooler, engine controller and clutch as well as upgraded brakes.

New UAW boss Williams talks tough, vows 'no more concessions'

Sun, 08 Jun 2014

Dennis Williams, the newly elected president of the UAW, had some tough words for American automakers in his inauguration speech at the 2014 UAW Convention, striking down the possibility of any additional concessions from the 400,000-strong union.
"No more concessions. We are tired of it. Enough is enough," Williams said during his speech. UAW employees have not received a raise in nearly 10 years, according to Reuters.
Considering the recent strong results for Ford, Chrysler and General Motors, the union's demands are likely to carry a bit more weight in next year's negotiations. And considering Williams' tough stance, we could be in for some fireworks once negotiations commence.

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.
