· This hard
to
find 2004 Ford E250 Dedicated Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Cargo van. Equipped
with the reliable and powerful 5.4L Triton V8 engine and
automatic transmission. This is a one owner fleet maintained utility vehicle. ONLY 84K Miles! BEWARE
of people selling vehicles with untested/unfilled or empty CNG systems. CNG system functions. This vehicle has
been filled with CNG and test driven 150+ miles. This vehicle is super economical to drive with CNG priced under $1.00 a gal in many areas. State tax credit still available (Utah and other states that offer tax credits).
What is CNG???
Compressed Natural Gas or CNG, is one of
nature's best untapped energy sources. Unlike fossil fuels, it is
constantly produced by the earth and can also me synthesized through
chemical processes. Cyber_lot. The technology has been around for decades
but until recently has been kept in the closet by big oil! It is one
of the fastest growing alternative fuel sources and unlike biodiesel and
ethanol (E85), is a viable replacement for petroleum. Within the next 10
years 90% of gov't fleets will be CNG and civilian population will follow over
the next 20 yrs.
Why should I buy a CNG/Bi Fuel
Vehicle?
- SAVE MONEY! CNG is about 1/3 less than reguar
unleaded and more stable in price. AS LOW AS 99 CENTS PER GAL IN
SOME AREAS!
- CNG burns with practically no emissions compared to petroleum fuel so
each mile you drive helps the environment....THINK
GREEN
- CNG is safer (less volatile) than gasoline as it has a higher
ignition temp, 1200 deg vs 800 deg.
- CNG poses little if any environment risk of
contamination and in the event of an accident where tanks are breached, it
evaporates into the air with no spill Cyber_lot
- CNG fill stations are growing more and more each
day. Check the links below for fill station locations across
the US.
- You can fill up at home using a Phil Fuelmaker device
if you have a natural gas line. Cyber_lot No more trips to the gas
station. Tax deductible.
- Most states allow you to drive solo in the HOV lane.
- CNG is not corrosive like gasoline and wears
MUCH easier on a motor. Most CNG fueled engines require oil changes
less frequently and sparkplugs last almost forever.
Overall engine life is usually significantly extended. Cyber_lot
- Unlike hybrid electric/gas cars, there are no costly batteries
($6000) to replace
- Unlike hybrid electric vehicles, the CNG drivetrain is the same as
the gasoline counterpart and can be serviced by most mechanics.
Cyber_lot. Only the CNG fuel system requires specially trained
service technicians.
- There may be tax credits/deductions available for
CNG vehicle owners and for the purchase of a Phil Fuelmaker (check with
IRS and state tax authorities)
- Be the first person in your town to sport a CNG
ride. Cyber_lot Almost always a conversation starter when you open the trunk!
Condition
Drivetrain
Engine starts up and
runs strong. Only 84k miles. NO
knocks, NO smoke, NO dripping engine leaks. Underside of engine is dry as you can see in the pics. Transmission shifts into and
through all
gears smoothly as it
should. Has
proper acceleration and cruises at highway speed. The 5.4L Triton V8 is one of the most durable and efficient 8cyl engines Ford produced and
should easily last 300K+ miles
with proper maintenance. This was a fleet maintained vehicle with
regular servicing, including oil changes at proper intervals.
Exterior
Paint has most of
its factory shine as you can see. No major dents or rot on the body. There are dings, scrapes, scratches, and minor blemishes throughout the body. There is a small crease on the corner of the driver front fender, a crease and scratch on the driver side, and a scrape on the lower front passenger door. Please keep in mind
this is not a showroom new but in decent condition for a work van. Has roof racks and working amber strobe beacon.
Interior
Interior is in good condition
with average wear. Seats are in good condition with no rip or tears in fabric but some light stains.
The vinyl has some cracking on the side panel of driver seat. There are a couple tiny holes drilled in the center console where some
small electronics were mounted. There are some scuffs on the plastic
interior panels as you can see in the pics. Interior is fresh and
clean and has been detailed. A/C blows cold and heat blows hot.
Wheels and Tires
· Tires have approx 75%+ tread remaining. Matching set of factory Ford hubcaps.
CNG System
I have fueled up with CNG and not observed any leaks. Everything
looks to be in order and system holds pressure as it should.
I have test driven this vehicle
over 150
miles and it should have no problem going anywhere. I have tried to describe the condition to the best of my ability but this is merely a guideline and repairs may be required. I do recommend having this vehicle shipped due to the limited availability of CNG stations in some areas. As I recommend
to all my customers, you should have your mechanic look over any newly
purchased vehicle before extensive use. I have tried to list as many
details about this vehicle as I can, including known defects. There
may
be deficiencies that I am not aware of so buyers are encouraged to
inspect in
person. FAILURE OF PROSPECTIVE BUYERS TO INSPECT VEHICLE OR ASK FOR CLARIFICATION ON CONDITION WILL NOT CONSTITUTE NON-DISCLOSURE OF DEFECTS OR CONDITION ON SELLERS PART. This was previously a fleet/lease vehicle and may have greater
wear and tear than private vehicles. Vehicle is otherwise sold as-is
and where is with no
warranty express of implied. If you are local I encourage and
welcome you to
come down and test drive the car for yourself or have an independent
inspection completed PRIOR to bidding. There will be no price adjustments or cancellation of sale for failure to do so. I am happy to answer any
questions so feel free to e-mail me or call.
