This Van has Under 35K Miles Original on it. It also has tons of features, Like Privacy Windows, Electric Windows, Full Heating, and Air Conditioning front and back, It has Both A CD Player and a cassette Player, Radio am/FM
It has a set of 4 Studded Rain & Snow Winter Tires, and 3 Spare Tires, 1 of the Spare Tires is attached under the van.
It also has a Very Expensive Electric Scooter Lift, controlled with hand held remote, This lift is located in the back of the van, The Lift comes all the way out, and goes down to the ground and then retracts back into the van. It is great for anyone who uses a Scooter & it is almost New, Only used about 25 times.
The Van Does have 3 Row seating, that means, there are the front seat, and passenger seat, then there is another row of seats behind that, and another row behind that, Now the LIft is installed and the 3rd row seat is folded down, but you can remove the lift and sell it for alot of $$$ and then the last row of seats will pull back up easy. So there are many things you can so with this van.
It is Red, and there are a few minor dings, and some minor scratches on the paint, but this van has been taken very well care of.
I only drive it maybe 15 - 18 miles a week because I am also disabled, so this van is in great condition with only 39+K Original on it.
In 2012 There was a Recall on the transmission, It was a small issue but I took it in and they fully fixed the issue, also the mechanic told me he replaced another small part & He said the Transmission Looked like it was New. So that was very good news
This van has self lock doors, and window wipers both on the front and back. It also has Electric Driver seat that you can move up, down, back, forward, There are many extras in this van. and its a very nice van. I wanted to keep it after my mom passed over, but I am on SSI and I just can't afford to keep it because I only get a Disability check each month.
It does show that it was in one accident, But to clear this up, it was bumped in the back bumper by another driver while driving very slow in a 5 mile an hour K-Mart Shopping parking lot, so it was in a minor accident, but it was a very minor Fender Bender, The back bumper was scratched and that was fully fixed by a insured qualified body shop.. So in terms of accident, there are different levels of degree and a mere Fender bender while moving 5 miles an hour or less in a Shopping center parking lot it not considered a serious accident, in fact it was a very minor Bump fender bender from a driver who was not looking ahead. so I just wanted to clear that up so you know that this van has not been in a real accident per say.
I have taken many photo's, Please send me any questions you have and if your a serious bidder or buyer please let me know and you can call me or I can call you to give you more information about this van.
The interior of the van is in great condition, there are some spots or stains on some of the seats and the carpet does need to be cleaned, My mom used to have this van Detailed every 6 months and it just needs a good cleaning, I will clean it up and wipe it down and get it ready for you, so no worrys there.
This will be a Pick up sale only, I can not ship the van, I may be able to work with you and help get it to you, Delivery may be a option. but That will have to be discus , So you can come pick it right up and we can go to the DMV together and do the Title change it only takes maybe a half hour.
I have a handy cap Plate on the van so I can get us into the handy cap line at the DMV which is very fast and easy. I have sold another car in the past and it was very easy to do. Just bring your ID or Driver License. Either way we can talk on the phone and come up with a good plan to get the van to you. This is my first Vehicle sale on ebay so I don't know exactly how you will want to do the pick up or delivery, just talk it out with me and we can figure that out, that is the small part.
So take a look at the photo's and see if this is the van for you. I am not asking Full retail price and another good thing about this van is the fact that it has under 40K miles which increases the value,
ALso, the most expensive type of Non Detergent Oil has been used in this van because it is the best and I was told I had to keep that kind of Oil in it or it would break the warranty. There is no warranty on the van but if you do go get a warranty if that is possible, than you can get it because the manufacture's required Oil has only been used. I might mention, that oil is very expensive too. So if you want to stop using Non Detergent Oil you can, but the oil used in this van is the best Oil made. It cost me 69 dollars to get the oil changed the last 2 times , so its good oil. And when my Mom had this van she only had the same expensive Non Detergent OIl put in it every time.
It is a great van, no matter what you can keep it for years to come or you can even resell it if you are a car expert.
Please only Honest Bidders, This was my moms van and It is all I have left from her, and I have treated it very well. It was my moms most Prized Possession, I am sure it will make a very nice vehicle for you and your family.
Thank you for shopping with me, and if you have any questions please ask them all and send them to me at my eBay.
One last thing, the Lift in the back of the van can be taken out, It is very expensive so you can keep it or sell it. This would be a great van for a nursing home, or anyone with handy-cap needs, or anyone at all. Its a great van.
a few things to mention, The Cd Player does not read dics's so it may need to be cleaned, Also The interior of the van is in need of a good cleaning, as I said there are some stains and spots on the seats, a couple small holes, the carpet needs to be cleaned, the upper interior has only a few dings or nicks, it really only needs to be cleaned very well and it will shine like new again.
I will offer to clean or have it Professionally cleaned for you so when you pick it up it is in very nice condition, I will refund you 100 dollars so you can clean it or I will clean it myself, I will let you decide.
One last thing, The title Currently does have a Loan on it for $800.00, upon payment I will get the title out of pawn and have it ready for who ever picks it up, and again I will even go down to the DMV with you to do the title processing. If you have any questions please message me I will answer any of your questions.
Thank you again

Ford recalls over 953,000 vehicles to replace Takata airbag inflators
Fri, Jan 4 2019DETROIT — Ford is recalling more than 953,000 vehicles worldwide to replace Takata passenger airbag inflators that can explode and hurl shrapnel. The move includes over 782,000 vehicles in the U.S. and is part of the largest series of recalls in U.S. history. Included are the 2010 Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX, the 2010 and 2011 Ford Ranger, the 2010 to 2012 Ford Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, the 2010 and 2011 Mercury Milan, and the 2010 to 2014 Ford Mustang. Some of the recalls may be limited to specific geographic areas of the U.S. Takata used the chemical ammonium nitrate to create an explosion to inflate airbags. But it can deteriorate over time due to heat and humidity and explode with too much force, blowing apart a metal canister designed to contain the explosion. At least 23 people have been killed worldwide and hundreds injured by the inflators. Ford says it doesn't know of any injuries in vehicles included in this recall. Dealers will replace the inflators. Ford will notify owners about the recall starting on Feb. 18, and the company has replacement parts available for dealers to order, said spokeswoman Monique Brentley. In previous Takata recalls, parts availability had been an issue. Owners can go to this Ford website and key in their vehicle identification number to see if their cars and SUVs are being recalled. The same information will be available soon at the NHTSA recall website. More than three years after the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration took over management of recalls involving Takata inflators, one third of the recalled inflators still have not been replaced, according to an annual report from the government and a court-appointed monitor. The report says 16.7 million faulty inflators out of 50 million under recall have yet to be replaced. And 10 million more inflators are scheduled to be recalled this month, including the Ford vehicles. Safety advocates said the completion rate should be far higher given the danger associated with the inflators. The recalls forced Takata of Japan to seek bankruptcy protection and sell most of its assets to pay for the fixes. The inflators grow more dangerous as they get older because ammonium nitrate deteriorates due to high humidity and cycles from hot temperatures to cold. The most dangerous inflators are in areas of the South along the Gulf of Mexico that have high humidity. Related Video:
Junkyard Gem: 1971 Mercury Comet 2-Door Sedan
Sat, Sep 10 2022When Ford introduced the original Maverick for the 1970 model year, Dearborn tradition required that a Mercury-badged version be created. That car ended up being the Comet, built from the 1971 through 1977 model years. Here's one of those first-year Comets in rough but recognizable condition, found in a Denver self-service yard not long ago. The Comet name had spent the 1960s affixed to the flanks of Mercurized Ford Falcons (1960-1965) and Fairlanes (1966-1969). Since the Maverick was the successor of the Falcon — sales of which went into an irrecoverable downward spiral once its sportier Mustang first cousin hit the streets — it made sense to move the Comet name over to the Mercury version. Nearly every American Mercury model ever sold was a U.S.-market Ford model with a different name and some gingerbread slapped on. Notable exceptions to this tradition include the 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar (mechanically based on the Contour but with a unique body) and the 1991-1994 Mercury Capri (an Australian-built mashup of Mazda components borrowed from the Ford Laser). The Comet was by far the cheapest Mercury model available in 1971, though it was considered more prestigious than its Maverick counterpart. The price tag on the '71 Comet two-door sedan started at $2,217 (about $16,505 in 2022 dollars), while the '71 Maverick two-door sedan cost $2,175 ($16,193 today). Meanwhile, AMC would sell you a new Hornet two-door sedan for one dollar less than a Maverick, Chevrolet had the Nova coupe for a dollar more than the Maverick, and Plymouth offered the Valiant Duster for $2,313 ($17,220 now). Toyota had a Maverick competitor as well that year, with the Corona at $2,150 for the sedan and $2,310 for the coupe. Having driven every one of the aforementioned models, I'd take the Duster if I went back in time and had to choose one (as a 1969 Corona owner, I'm not a fan of the 1971 facelift, though the Corona's build quality beats the Duster's). The build sticker on this car tells us that it was built at the Kansas City Assembly Plant (where Transits and F-150s are made today) and sold through the Los Angeles district sales office (there was a DSO in Denver, so it's a near-certainty that this car didn't start out in Colorado). The paint started out as Bright Blue Metallic (it's neither bright nor metallic 51 years down the road) and the interior was done up in Medium Blue Cloth & Vinyl.
Ford finds flex-fuel engine design plays big role in emissions output
Mon, Jan 6 2014How bad is ethanol for your engine? There's been a lot of debate on this issue as the US considers upping the biofuel content in the national gasoline supply from 10 percent (E10) to 15 percent (E15). The ethanol industry and some scientists say higher ethanol blends show no "meaningful differences" in new engines while the oil industry says ethanol creates health risks. Researchers working at the Ford Research and Innovation Center decided to take a closer look at how a wide range of gas-ethanol blends - E0, E10, E20, E30, E40, E55 and E80 - affected the emissions coming out of a flex-fuel 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. To see the full report, printed in the journal Environmental Science & Technology, requires payment, but there is an abstract and Green Car Congress has some more details. The gist is that, "with increasing ethanol content in the fuel, the tailpipe emissions of ethanol, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, methane, and ammonia increased." At least NOx and NMHC emissions decreased. The researchers say that the effects are due to the fuel and "are expected for all FFVs," but that the way that a manufacturer calibrates the engine will affect NOx, THC, and NMOG emissions. It's this last bit that's important, since the researchers found, "Higher ethanol content in gasoline affects several fundamental fuel properties that can impact emissions. ... These changes can have positive or negative effects that can depend on engine design, hardware, and control strategy. In addition to direct emissions impacts, higher ethanol content fuel can also provide more efficient combustion and overall engine operation under part-load conditions and under knock-limited higher-load conditions." So, as we head towards more ethanol in our fuel supply (maybe), manufacturers are going to need to learn how to burn it most efficiently.
