Handicap Van with Wheelchair Ramp

Rear Entry 47,000 Miles

I have been a quadriplegic since 1986 and have a lot of experience buying and using handicap vans.

I can't afford to buy new handicap passenger vans at around $40k so I buy fairly late year models with

under 60,000 miles for best value. The most important are the things I've learned over the years. I only buy mini-vans because of the ease and speed of egress, no wait for lift to come down then up. Better line of sight from mini-vans and less ramp rattle. Be wary of kneeling rear ends since they use air bags and air compressors that are known to fail regularly. I have also learned to stay away from fully automatic remote door and ramp systems. When they fail, and they do very often, the greedy mobility dealer will charge you $800 plus [without telling you that all he did is adjust two little micro switches attached to the actuator at the door/ramp, my brother did the same fix in minutes with a screwdriver at no cost].

I only use manual equipped handicap vans and that is what I have for sale here. I bought this van nearly four years ago with thirty-five thousand miles on it. It's a rear entry van that can carry two chairs max, it is equipped with a Q-Straint ratcheting, retracting, movable tie-down system. The wheelchair sits between two seats behind the driver and front passenger. It runs great and the brakes, exhaust, tires, trans. and engine are all in great shape. The interior is perfect but for one small [1 inch] tear in the rear of the drive side, second row seat. The exterior is in great condition for a five year old vehicle. Look at all the pix. Very nice van overall.

$500 deposit due within 24 hours of close via PayPal only. Pickup and balance due within 7 days of auction close in person with cash or certified funds at pickup or certified funds or wire transfer and buyer arranges delivery. Using U-Ship, you can negotiate your shipping cost.

After reviewing the AUTOcheck report, I found a glaring mistake in it. This van has only 46,840 original miles. When we took the van in to the ILL. Emissions for routine check in mid 2012, the tester punched in 83,000 instead of 43,000 [approximate mileage at that time]. I only noticed the mistake after arriving home and looking more closely at the Pass receipt given to us. We went back the very next day and were assured that they would fix the problem....obviously they did not. If they are open tomorrow, I'll be there.

Chrysler recalling 278,222 trucks and SUVs over bad rear axles

Thu, 14 Feb 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall of 278,222 light trucks and sport utility vehicles here in the United States. The reason: bad rear axles. Specifically, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rear axle pinion nut may lack a necessary adhesive patch, which could cause the nut to loosen. If this happens, the axle can lock up, which could cause all sorts of havoc on the road.
This is an expansion of the rear axle recall announced in October of last year, where 44,300 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota models were being called in. At that time, 12 accidents had been reported due to the faulty axle pinion nut.
Affected vehicles include Ram 1500 trucks from the 2009 to 2012 model years, Dodge Dakota models from the 2009 to 2011 model years, and both the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango SUV twins, both from the 2009 model year only.

eBay Find of the Day: Viper Defender from '90s TV show

Fri, 24 May 2013

As car lovers, it's always hard to find a good television show with decent cars, but what the 1990s show Viper lacked in acting, scripting and plot, it more than made up for with cool cars. For starters, the lead car was a Dodge Viper RT/10, but, on screen, it was able to morph into its "Defender" mode making it an armored coupe with a full arsenal of weapons.
Fortunately, you don't have to be a fan of the bad show to love its lead car, and if you really want one, a Defender is up for auction right now on eBay. According to the listing, this car is the real deal - not a clone - and it comes with a V8 engine (not sure what happened to the V10?) and plenty of swag and memorbilia. No word on its actual asking price, but with a day left and 42 bids already, the reserve has not been met at $133,400. The listing does add that this same car was listed at Mecum back in 2010, but did not get sold, even with a bid of $270,000.

Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.
