I am offering a 1993 Chevy G20 full size, handicapped equipped van for sale. This van is equipped with hand controls, a power driver's seat which goes way back, then turns more than 90 degrees to the right to allow a person to transfer from a wheel chair into it. The seat also raises way up for ease of transferring.
The van also has automatic side doors which can be operated by a remote control, or operated at the right rear tailight via a magnet on the key ring. It uses fiber optic cables and power unit to achieve this. The hand controls, automatic seat, automatic door openers, and fiber optic capability were installed by Captain Vantastic in Esopus, NY.
The van is also equipped with a Braun lift, which works perfectly.
In addition, Captain Vantastic installed the tv screen, surround sound system with a sub woofer, two DVD players, and the power system which powers it. He also put in a new radio and 4 new speakers for it.
This van has 61,678 original miles on it and has been very well maintained. I bought it on Ebay in 2006 after my son became paralyzed in an auto accident. It has some small dents and dings, but has never been involved in a serious accident. The body is in excellent shape for its age as you can see by the pictures. The paint is original and still shines remarkably well for a van that is 20 years old. The paint has faded on the raised roof, which is fiberglass, but I still wax it all the time to keep it looking as good as it can.
I have put a lot of money in it to keep it in top shape. The tires are new, and the brakes, rotors, brake lines, fuel tank and fuel lines were all replaced within the last couple of years. In addtion, I had the whole front end suspension replaced. I was trying to do a little bit at a time and eventually would have done the whole vehicle over had we decided to keep it. I also had a rebuilt alternator installed in it.
I also replaced the two front captain chairs ($400 each). Captain Vantastic also did that job. The rest of the interior is in good shape, except for a few tears in the carpet and some stains as well. The stains were there when I bought it and I tried just about everything to get them out, but nothing worked all that well. The vehicle comes with the hold downs to secure a person sitting in their wheelchair in the rear. I have all the hold down straps as well. The back seat also folds down into a bed. It works, but we never used it for that.
The immediate need that the vehicle has is to get the A/C working. The compressor siezed, and since we decided to sell it, I decided to let the new owner deal with it. The outboard end of the compressor was removed so it wouldn't break the new serpentine belt I had them put in it.
Here is why I am offering the vehicle for sale. My son, who is a C-6 incomplete quadriplegic, is 6' 7" tall. He can enter the van, transfer from his chair to the driver's seat, and drive away. The problem is, he needs help to get from the driver's seat back into his chair. It means he has to depend on someone being wherever he goes to assist him.
So, after much discussion over many months, we looked at cars and he found a Chrysler 300 he can transfer into and back out of fairly easily. He can then collapse his chair and place it in the car. We are having Captain Vantastic install hand controls in that, so that means we no longer will need this van.
The van starts every time (the battery was replaced over the winter), does not burn any oil, and has no leaks of any kind. I had a new driveway put in last year and go nuts if any of my cars leak anything on it. I would not be afraid to jump in it right now and go across the country. It is that dependable. We have mainly used it to transport my son to various doctors near here and in New York City (he also had a heart transplant, and remains an out-patient at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in Manhattan).
I have about $20,000 total invested in this van since we bought it in 2006. I have changed the oil every 3000 miles. It was just inspected in April and has a current registration. The title is free and clear. In short -- if anyone is looking for a van which is ideally suited for a handicapped person, or just wants a full size van for pleasure, you cannot go wrong with this one. You will be hard pressed to find one anywhere close to the age of this one, with so few original miles, and is set up for a handicapped person to drive.
I am willing to deliver the van free of charge within 50 miles of where I am located. Otherwise, the van will have to be picked up by the purchaser. I will not ship the van. I am asking for $500 within by Paypal 48 hours of purchase, and the rest paid by cashier's check or cash within 7 days of purchase.

2014 Chevrolet SS makes its live debut
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Chevrolet showed off the new 2014 SS in an airport hangar last night, its first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan in the US since the Impala SS from 1997. We'll have more to say about the SS later today, but this is the sedan that Chevrolet sees as the final piece in restoring its performance credentials. For those of you looking for a manual transmission, however, that wish will go unfulfilled - at least for now: the only two options buyers will have are the color and whether or not they want a sunroof.
We'll work on getting some more angles (in better light) today at Daytona International Speedway, but with fans seeing the car for the first time, we don't hold out much luck of getting a clear shot. So for now, enjoy the high-res gallery above.
Shanghai debuts, Jeep's new Rubicon anniversary rigs | Autoblog Podcast # 777
Fri, Apr 21 2023In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd for a recap of the past week's worldwide debuts along with some updates from their recent adventures. They start off discussing the rumors of a new Ford Mustang Raptor and what that means in the context of previous rumors of a Corvette SUV. Then it's time to talk Shanghai, where Polestar, Buick, Volkswagen, Porsche and Lincoln all had big reveals. After that, they segue to Byron's trip to Moab for the 2023 Easter Jeep Safari preview where he drove the AEV Level II Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 20th Anniversary Edition. From there, they reminisce about Mustangs in a nod to the nameplate's 59th anniversary, after which they stick to the theme with a sub-$15,000 RWD used-car discussion. Is there anything worth buying in this price bracket in today's economy?

GM cutting back on powertrain warranty citing lack of interest
Thu, Mar 12 2015Generally, when a manufacturer offers a long, high-mileage warranty, it's a sign that it stands behind its products. On top of that, it's generally a selling point for consumers, who can rest easy knowing that any catastrophic failures will be picked up by the manufacturer. Considering those facts, it does seem rather strange that General Motors is slashing the mileage warranty on model year 2016 vehicles from Chevrolet and GMC. Instead of offering consumers a 100,000-mile warranty, GM will now only offer a powertrain warranty up to 60,000 miles. The five-year warranty period, though, remains unchanged. GM will also cut the number of free services being offered to Chevy and GMC owners, as well as Buick drivers, from four to two. "Through research, we have determined that when purchasing a new vehicle, included maintenance and warranty rank low on the list of reasons why consumers consider a particular brand over another," explained a memo sent to dealers by Chevrolet VP Brian Sweeney and his GMC counterpart, Duncan Aldred, and obtained by Automotive News. "As a result, we have benchmarked our competitors, reviewed our current offerings and have concluded the following modifications to align closely with our customers' needs and expectations." While the move might seem odd, Sweeney and Aldred are right – according to Automotive News, Ford, Honda and Toyota each offer a five-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty. As for what the money saved by trimming the powertrain warranty will go towards, a GM spokesperson simply told AN that the company will "reinvest the savings we will realize into other retail programs," some of which have been requested by consumers. What are your thoughts? Would a 40,000-mile reduction in a new vehicle's powertrain really turn you off from buying one? Even if it matched its competitors? Is GM better off spending its money elsewhere? Have your say in Comments.
