2005 Chrysler wheelchair conversion Van.

 

First off, let me point out that this van is as close to show room condition as possible, allowing for age and miles. I have looked it over very carefully and found one nick on the front grill, about the size of a house fly, one scuff on the right side belt molding and what appears to be a car wash brush scuff on the right taillight lens; the interior is beautiful. Let me also point out that I did not purchase this van with any intention of reselling it, however, since it was a long-distance purchase, it never occurred to me ask the width of the wheelchair lift. Unfortunately, the Braun lift (NMV05) although having a 400 pound lift capacity, is, at 25.75" usable width,  about an inch too narrow for my power wheelchair. This might also be a good time to point out that this van does not have a lowered floor. However, because the previous owner actually purchased it for a family member, who unfortunately became too disabled to drive before even receiving it, and said owner has a car dealership, this van was completely serviced mechanically from bottom to top and features new tires, new brakes, new sway bar links, new battery and alignment. He also took the time to have his local mobility dealer check out all of the adaptive equipment on the vehicle and verified that it was working properly. If you are not familiar with the AEVIT (Advanced Electronic Vehicle Interface Technology) systems, you will be pleasantly surprised to learn that they make driving much easier and safer for the disabled person. The AEVIT system provides electronic control of the throttle and brake, so it requires much less physical input than a mechanical system. It also has a screen with button switches to control all of the normal driving functions such as starting, transmission shifting, parking brake, headlights, windshield wipers, horn, HVAC, door locks and power windows. If you would like to see a demonstration of some of these features, on this van, send me a request and I'll reply with Youtube video links. This system is especially convenient for someone who has contracted fingers, strength and/or reach problems. That is why I wanted it for myself. Additionally, there is extra power assist applied to the steering mechanism to make that lighter and there is a backup system to provide boost for the power brakes in the event that the engine is shut off. The AEVIT system is probably state-of-the-art in mobility assistance and safety. It is also, if purchased new, very expensive. The local shop told me I would be looking at around $60,000 to install a system in my existing conversion Van. Obviously, purchasing it used can save quite a bit of money. If you are looking at a vehicle history report, there is a mention of an accident. I was told that this was a very slight incident that only damaged one of the bumper covers which has been replaced. Again, I cannot overemphasize the marvelous condition of this vehicle!

EZ-Lock System and center row seats are included, but not currently installed.

Clear Texas title, in my name. Vehicle inspections welcomed and vehicle can remain here for up to two weeks after purchase.

GM, Chrysler bailouts saved 2.6 million jobs

Tue, 10 Dec 2013


The Center for Automotive Research (CAR) has been studying the effects of the General Motors and Chrysler bailouts in 2009. Now that the US Treasury has officially sold off the rest of its stake in GM (and Chrysler has already paid back its loan), CAR has released its study on the effects of the bailout with this concluding note: "CAR is confident that in the years ahead, this peacetime intervention in the private sector by the US government will be seen as one of the most successful in US economic history."
Big words, for sure, but there's plenty of evidence to back up the claim. Bailing out GM alone saved 1.2-million jobs. If both GM and Chrysler hadn't been bailed out, US employment would have been reduced by 2.631-million jobs in 2009 and another 1.519-million jobs in 2010, according to the study. If both automakers were allowed to fail, personal income in the US would have decreased by $173.5 billion in 2009 and $110.9 billion in 2010. Instead, the study found that $284.4 billion of personal income was saved by the bailouts.

China's Great Wall confirms its interest — in Jeep, or all of FCA

Tue, Aug 22 2017

HONG KONG/SHANGHAI — Chinese automaker Great Wall Motor reiterated its interest in Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV on Tuesday, but said it had not held talks or signed a deal with executives at the Italian-American automaker. China's largest sport utility vehicle manufacturer made a direct overture to Fiat Chrysler on Monday, with an official saying the company was interested in all or part of FCA, owner of the Jeep and Ram truck brands. Automotive News first reported the news, quoting Great Wall Motor President Wang Fengying as saying she planned to contact FCA to discuss acquiring the Jeep brand specifically. Those comments sent FCA shares higher but also raised questions over the ability of China's seventh-largest automaker by sales to buy larger Western rival FCA, or even Jeep, which some analysts value at as much as one-and-a-half times FCA. Great Wall sought to dampen speculation on Tuesday. It confirmed it had studied Fiat Chrysler, but said there was "no concrete progress so far" and "substantial uncertainty" over whether it would eventually bid. "The company has not built any relationship with the directors of FCA nor has the company entered into any discussion or signed any agreements with any officer of FCA so far," the company said in an English-language stock exchange filing. It did not give further detail. Fiat Chrysler stock dipped on the statement on Tuesday. Great Wall said trading in its Shanghai-listed shares would resume on Wednesday after having been suspended. Fiat Chrysler declined to comment on Great Wall's statement. On Monday, it said it had not been approached and was fully committed to implementing its current business plan. FLUSHING OUT RIVALS? Great Wall Motor, which was early to spot China's love of SUVs, had revenue of $14.8 billion last year and sold 1.07 million vehicles - but that compares with FCA's 2016 revenue of 111 billion euros ($130.6 billion). Analysts said Great Wall would need to raise both debt and equity to complete any deal, meaning its chairman Wei Jianjun could lose majority control. One possible scenario, according to analysts at Jefferies, would see Wei keeping a roughly 30 percent stake, while Great Wall would raise $10-$14 billion in debt and $10 billion in equity - hefty for a group currently worth just $16 billion. Ultimately, politics could be the clincher.

Marchionne's pay as Fiat CEO falls to $5M

Wed, 12 Mar 2014

Sergio Marchionne will be buying fewer of his iconic sweaters, as his 2013 pay from Fiat took a dip from $6.24 million to an even $5 million. Marchionne, who was also CEO of Chrysler, made $307,989 thanks to some stocks and benefits from the American company, although he didn't take a salary. Of that $5 million paid by Fiat, $3.19 million came from Marchionne's fixed salary while the remaining $1.8 million was paid for hitting unspecified performance targets.
The news comes from Fiat's compensation reports, which also showed that the 61-year-old, who already owned three million shares in Fiat at the end of 2013, was able to receive an additional 2.3 million shares through a stock incentive program. According to Automotive News Europe, the additional shares would be worth about $25 million at today's prices, although so far, Marchionne has declined to claim the extra shares.
According to ANE, Fiat reported a 2013 trading profit of $4.7 billion.
