Handicap Van with Wheelchair Ramp

Rear Entry 47,000 Miles

I have been a quadriplegic since 1986 and have a lot of experience buying and using handicap vans.

I can't afford to buy new handicap passenger vans at around $40k so I buy fairly late year models with

under 60,000 miles for best value. The most important are the things I've learned over the years. I only buy mini-vans because of the ease and speed of egress, no wait for lift to come down then up. Better line of sight from mini-vans and less ramp rattle. Be wary of kneeling rear ends since they use air bags and air compressors that are known to fail regularly. I have also learned to stay away from fully automatic remote door and ramp systems. When they fail, and they do very often, the greedy mobility dealer will charge you $800 plus [without telling you that all he did is adjust two little micro switches attached to the actuator at the door/ramp, my brother did the same fix in minutes with a screwdriver at no cost].

I only use manual equipped handicap vans and that is what I have for sale here. I bought this van nearly four years ago with thirty-five thousand miles on it. It's a rear entry van that can carry two chairs max, it is equipped with a Q-Straint ratcheting, retracting, movable tie-down system. The wheelchair sits between two seats behind the driver and front passenger. It runs great and the brakes, exhaust, tires, trans. and engine are all in great shape. The interior is perfect but for one small [1 inch] tear in the rear of the drive side, second row seat. The exterior is in great condition for a five year old vehicle. Look at all the pix. Very nice van overall.

$500 deposit due within 24 hours of close via PayPal only. Pickup and balance due within 7 days of auction close in person with cash or certified funds at pickup or certified funds or wire transfer and buyer arranges delivery. Using U-Ship, you can negotiate your shipping cost.

After reviewing the AUTOcheck report, I found a glaring mistake in it. This van has only 46,840 original miles. When we took the van in to the ILL. Emissions for routine check in mid 2012, the tester punched in 83,000 instead of 43,000 [approximate mileage at that time]. I only noticed the mistake after arriving home and looking more closely at the Pass receipt given to us. We went back the very next day and were assured that they would fix the problem....obviously they did not. If they are open tomorrow, I'll be there.

Chrysler recalling 280k Dodge Ram 1500 pickups over axle seizures

Fri, Dec 19 2014

Following a June investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will be recalling 280,000 Dodge Ram pickups from model year 2005. The issue, NHTSA told The Detroit News, centered on a loose pinion nut, which could cause the rear axle to seize and, potentially, the driveshaft to detach. The affected vehicles were built between January of 2004 and August of 2005, while of the 280,000 trucks, only 257,000 were sold in the US market. According to The News, the recall will begin on February 13, and will see owners report to dealerships to have "a retention feature" added to the pinion nut.

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.
