This is a one owner Dodge Grand Caravan Sport with Braun Entervan handicap wheelchair conversion which I purchased new and recorded every mile driving from my wheelchair. The van has a 10" lowered floor, power sliding passenger door with power folding ramp operated via remote control or by one of the many buttons located on the van. The driver and/or passenger seat can be removed allowing a person to drive from a wheelchair or ride as a passenger. Today, the Braun Conversion by itself costs approximately $15,000 plus the cost of the van. This van also includes reduced effort steering ($3,000), a hand control ($1,000) along with remote start and an updated stereo system. It has newer tires, newer brake pads and rotors, many new front end parts along with all new fuel tank seals. The main item that makes this van very desirable is it recently received a brand new (not re manufactured) engine which currently has around 20,000 miles on it since being installed. I used this van daily, took it on several long trips with my wife and never wanted to be stuck some place while it was broken down so have been very proactive regarding maintenance and upkeep. The van has a number of dings and paint chips that have been touched up. It has surface rust near each rear wheel that has been repaired but is noticeable and some surface rust between the doors on the passenger side. The rear heat does not work as the core recently developed a leak so I rerouted the lines to bypass the rear as the van stays very warm without it even in the cold Nebraska winters. Regarding the Braun Conversion, the van has a kneeling system that lowers the rear passenger side of the van as the ramp deploys to reduce the angle of the ramp. I never used this feature and when I recently tested it it would not turn off so it's currently disconnected. The van has no leaks and the A/C (front and rear) is ice cold. It will make a great van for someone driving from their wheelchair and/or someone transporting a loved one. Don't miss this van!!!

Motorweek goes retro with '80s hot hatch shootout
Mon, 03 Nov 2014Motorweek's decades of history on television make it the perfect medium to look back into the automotive past and see how things are different now. It recently added old road test videos to its YouTube channel of the Acura NSX and Toyota Supra, as well as the Ferrari F40. For one of its newest flashback clips, Motorweek has exhumed an affordable five-car challenge of 1986's premiere hot hatches.
By today's standards, this is an eclectic field that features fondly remembered classics like the Volkswagen GTI 16-valve and Acura Integra. However, it also throws in some nearly forgotten contenders like the Dodge Colt Turbo and Ford Escort GT. The angular Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S rounds out the group.
It's fascinating to watch Motorweek run the quintet through the slalom, down the drag strip and on various roads. What's most striking in this clip is the difference in the definition of a performance car between then and now. With its 16-valve, 1.8-liter four-cylinder, the GTI is the burliest of the contenders with 123 horsepower, but it still takes 8.8 seconds to reach 60 miles per hour. By today's standards, that would make it a plain-jane economy car, and not even a particularly quick one.
Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
Does the future of Fiat-Chrysler include Dodge?
Thu, 13 Jun 2013Wards Auto reports the future of Dodge is looking uncertain. Fiat has more or less laid out it's game plan for the next few years, and while the Chrysler, Fiat and Jeep lines are set to receive plenty of love, Dodge isn't so lucky. Fiat has already hobbled Dodge significantly by splitting off the brand's trucks into a separate Ram line.
Wards says that after the Avenger rides off into the sunset early next year, Fiat-Chrysler won't replace the model, leaving a gaping midsize hole in the Dodge lineup. The report also cites unnamed sources as saying that at least two other current Dodge products will move to the Chrysler line.
One of those could very well be the Grand Caravan. Chrysler has already made it clear that it plans to trim redundancy between its minivan offerings, but it has yet to clarify which other vehicle could sail under the Chrysler banner moving forward. Either way, such changes to the product line would theoretically leave Dodge with just four models.
