Cleveland, Ohio, United States
|
2012 Dodge Grand Caravan with Very LOW miles, 2672! This van was converted for my father who was a disabled veteran. It is a Braun Ability Conversion with the floor lowered and a side folding ramp for easy access into the vehicle.
It is modified with an electro mechanical rear kneeling suspension that lowers the van so wheelchair users have an easier time entering. The center seats have been removed to allow room for wheelchairs to move around. The floor is covered with durable, washable flooring and has a rail system with adjustable locking points to secure wheelchairs etc. With the floor being lowered it provides 54 1/4 inches of headroom floor to ceiling at the center of the van. Both side doors and the rear hatch are powered for remote opening and closing The drivers seat is multi position power adjustable and can back up and swing around to allow easier transfer from a wheelchair. Both seats are removable so the driver and passenger can stay in their wheelchairs if needed. This van is equipped with the Mobility Products "Classic 3500 Series" Hand control to accelerate, brake use the horn and dimmer switch. This system can be removed and replaced with one of the AEVIT controls if the driver has less mobility. The most notable feature of this van is the AEVIT 2.0 Advanced Electronic Vehicle Interface Technology or "drive by wire" system. This is a touch screen display that controls: Gas/Brake Steering Aux Battery System Ignition Start/Stop HVAC It is also modular and can be fitted with optional input devices and orthotics that adapt for drivers with limited mobility. If AEVIT is entered on YOUTUBE there are some videos showing people driving with this system. This vehicle has very low miles and is in as new condition. The van was purchased new by my father on 8/29/12. The cost of the van was $31,505. for the chassis. The cost of the conversion and adaptive equipment was $80,437.70 for a total cost of $111,947.70. Unfortunately with his failing health, he was unable to drive it much. |

Auto sales in March and first quarter down nearly across the board
Wed, Apr 3 2019Nearly every major automaker reported weak U.S. sales for March and the first quarter of 2019, citing a rough start to the year, but said a robust economy and strong labor market should encourage consumers to buy more vehicles as 2019 rolls on. GM, which no longer releases monthly sales figures, saw first-quarter sales fall 7 percent, with declines across all brands. Sales of Silverado pickup trucks fell nearly 16 percent and the high-margin Chevy Suburban large SUV dropped 25 percent. Ford also no longer releases monthly sales numbers, but is due to release its first-quarter sales figures on Thursday. According to industry data, Ford's sales fell 2 percent in the quarter and 5 percent in March. Ford representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment. FCA reported a 7 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and a 3 percent drop for the first quarter. All of FCA's brands dropped in March, except for Ram, which saw a 15 percent increase in pickup truck sales. "The industry had a tough first quarter, but with spring finally starting to show its face and continued strong economic indicators ... we are confident that new vehicle sales demand will strengthen going forward," FCA's U.S. head of sales, Reid Bigland, said in a statement. Toyota reported a 3.5 percent fall in U.S. sales in March and 5 percent for the first quarter, hurt by declining demand for its Corolla sedans and Camry vehicles. "While some of our competitors are abandoning sedans, we remain optimistic about the future of the segment," Toyota said in a statement. Nissan posted a 5.3 percent drop in sales in March, and its first-quarter sales were down 11.6 percent. Honda and Hyundai bucked the trend. Honda's U.S. sales rose 4.3 percent in March and 2 percent in the quarter, while Hyundai's were up 1.7 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively. Passenger-car sales suffered throughout the January-March quarter compared with the same period in 2018 as Americans continued to abandon them in favor of larger, more comfortable pickup trucks and SUVs, which are far more profitable for automakers. The battle for market share in the particularly lucrative large-pickup truck market intensified in the quarter, as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' Ram brand outsold the U.S.' No. 1 automaker General Motors' Chevrolet-brand trucks. The two automakers have both launched redesigned pickup trucks.

SRT reveals Satin Vapor Edition 300, Charger and Challenger SRT models
Fri, 07 Feb 2014With the exception of some notable truck and van introductions, Chrysler brands have tended to use the Chicago Auto Show to bring out new special editions, pimp their aftermarket parts support or indulge in the occasional flight of fancy. That plan is holding true for 2014, as well. Cases in point are these new Satin Vapor Editions of the 2014-model-year Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 - all from SRT.
The Satin Vapor name may sound like a failed 1970s glam-rock band, or a pseudo-gynecological diagnosis from the Old West, but is, in fact, pretty much a tape-and-trim package for this trio of hi-po Mopars. 300, Challenger and Charger alike come shod with 20-inch aluminum wheels finished in Black Satin Vapor Chrome, and are accented with Satin Black bits aplenty. The 300 gets blacked-out mirrors, spoiler and roof; the Challenger applies it to mirrors and its fuel door; while the Charger has the stuff covering its roof, hood and Super Bee tail graphic.
Interiors of the cars have been mildly updated as well, with all three getting some combination of Nappa leather, ultra-suede and carbon-fiberish finishes.
