This great van has been customized for someone that needs a vehicle capable of transporting a wheelchair or electric scooter. This vehicle was purchased by my family a few years ago and we are selling because we no longer need a vehicle capable of transporting an electric scooter.
The ramp is very convenient and easy to move. Everything inside the car works great including the cold air conditioner. The light switch and AC control switch were recently replaced when we discovered a problem with them a few months back.
This van was involved in a small accident a few years ago where it was accidentally driven into a large glass window. There was no mechanical damage to the vehicle but the insurance company totaled the vehicle due to its age. They did not take the $30,000 conversion into consideration when processing the claim. The damage was minimal and mostly cosmetic. All repairs were made and are not detectable. Once the repairs were made, a salvage title was obtained.
Other than this, there are some small spots where the headliner has fallen. The rest of the vehicle is in solid shape. This van rides great, is very comfortable, and has plenty of room for someone that needs a vehicle to transport someone that uses an electric scooter or wheelchair.
My family paid $12,000 for this van about 4 years ago and it made life so much easier for us to care for a loved one. Unfortunately that person is no longer with us and this is our reason for selling it. During our ownership of this van we have made several long trips in it and it has been very dependable. This van has had regular oil changes and when something needed to be repaired it was taken care of. You can drive this van with confidence.
You will not find another van in such good shape and at a better price that is customized for wheelchair/scooter access. There is a company close by that sells converted vans for over $60,000. Why spend that money when you can get a van in good shape for much less cash?

NHTSA investigating power modules on Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans
Mon, 29 Sep 2014The Center for Auto Safety is officially petitioning the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to begin scrutinizing alleged problems with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on about 24 Chrysler Group SUVs and minivans. The advocacy group claims that the part's failure can cause affected vehicles to stall or not start at all. NHTSA is still looking into the accusations and deciding whether a full investigation is actually warranted.
The CAS petition claims at least 70 TIPM failures, but according to NHTSA, six of the complaints are for models that don't have the modules. In 34 of the reported cases, the vehicles refused to start, and in 17 of them the engine stalled. There were also two allegations of smoke and one of a fire. However, none of these affected airbag deployment or resulted in a crash.
This petition isn't the first TIPM-related problem for Chrysler Group. A recent report in the New York Times alleged that it found 240 complaints potentially related to the issue on NHTSA's website alone. In September, the automaker also recalled 230,760 examples worldwide (188,723 in the US) of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango replace the fuel pump relay circuit inside of the TIPM-7 with one external to the unit. The original part could allegedly cause the models to stall without warning. Even earlier, the company also recalled about 80,000 examples of the Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro in 2007 to have the module reprogrammed.
2015 Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car burns rubber into SEMA [w/video]
Tue, 04 Nov 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is showing off a completely redesigned Dodge Charger Funny Car at this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas and it's ready to blow through the NHRA timing lights next year. Initially, the shape might look like any of the other entrants in its class burning through the quarter mile, but this is the first comprehensive rethink for the racecar's aerodynamics since 2006, says Dodge.
Draped in classy red and black Mopar livery, the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car tries to share the front and rear styling with its roadgoing counterpart, plus the scallops along the side, but this racer is all about crossing the finish line first.
The major goals for the redesign included making the body stronger and lighter without sacrificing aerodynamics, and that has been done with materials like Kevlar and carbon fiber. However, engineers have accomplished even more. By moving the cockpit further back, they've increased engine clearance and improved driver visibility.
Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans
Fri, 18 Jan 2013As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:
