This van is awesome. I fell in love with it two years ago because it has so much character and I wanted to take it across the country. However, it's not good on gas and I was never able to afford the trip. I have used the van a few times for shorter trips and tailgaiting, and it is a crowd-pleaser and attention grabber to say the least.
The van starts right up and I have never had a problem where it didn't.
It idles high, and it coasts at 30mph without even touching the gas pedal. I'm not sure if this is bad for the van or not, but it doesn't seem to affect anything in the engine at all. It doesn't overheat, even in traffic on a hot summer day.
It most likely needs new tires. They aren't the best in wet conditions and the momentum of the van doesn't help the situation either. I got used to it and I don't even notice it anymore, but I would definitely recommend new tires.
All of the interior motors work, including the front two power windows and the motor that turns the couch into a bed. The other windows slide open only on the bottom.
The AC has not worked since I've owned the van. I never looked into it so it might just need to be charged.
The interior is in beautiful condition, give or take some normal wear for a 21 year old van. But the original owner never took the plastic protector off the back carpet and neither did I, so it's in great condition.
There are two gas tanks, but there is a leak in the top of the back tank. I just dealt with it by only filling the back tank up half-way and I never had a problem.
***Currently, there is a problem with the brakes. I had them done completely for $1000 two years ago, but a day ago they started acting up. I'm pretty sure it just needs brake fluid, but I will absolutely figure out for sure before I sell the van to anyone. I just don't want to put anymore money into the van unless I am sure I am selling it.***
The van has passed emissions for me whenever needed without any problems.
This van is a ton of fun to drive, sit in, and look at. I'm sad to see it go but I know it's for the best.
Come check it out!
Notable features: overhead lights above every seat, runner lights on back wall and on steps, a small tv with a VCR (the tv turns on but the VCR ate my tape), small cooler built into floor, two super-comfy velvety-fabric bucket seats, a couch that converts into a bed with a motorized button, duel-purpose shades on all large windows (one that is opaque and allows light through, and one that is a solid privacy shade), police radar-detector (I'm not even sure if it's legal, it just came with the van when I bought it), generous trunk space with a hanger holder, complimentary cigarette-lighter vacuum

George W. Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 fizzles with $300,000 bid at Barrett-Jackson [UPDATE: w/video]
Sun, 20 Jan 2013Despite some truly impassioned pleading from Jay Leno himself - including calling on Arizona's notoriously Republican-rich voters to beat the $600,000 level set the last time Leno sold a vehicle for this particular charity... in California - bidding for George Bush's 2009 Ford F-150 pickup truck stalled at $300,000.
All proceeds will be sent to the Fisher House Foundation, so at least it's $300K going to a good cause. Feel free to check out the live image gallery above, which includes shots showing Leno's skills helming the auction, and read through the official auction description below.
*UPDATE: Video of the auction and Leno's prods to the crowd for more money can now be seen below.
Ford will probably never offer two RS models at the same time
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Autocar has some sour news for fans of go-fast Ford products. According to Roelant de Waard, Ford's president of marketing in Europe, the automaker will probably never offer more than one RS performance model for sale at the same time. That statement runs contrary earlier rumblings that suggested Ford would launch its next-generation Focus RS in 2015 and follow the hatch with a spate of other vehicles with an RS badge. But de Waard has made it clear that Ford of Europe is now focused on squarely on the next Mustang, even though there may be more RS models on the way eventually.
"What is clear is that the RS shouldn't be a series, or a car badge that we have in our portfolio all the time. It is an extreme car - something more than ST," he said.
That philosophy makes plenty of sense. We loved the old Focus RS - shown above in RS500 trim - because it was generally bonkers and plenty exclusive. Diluting either aspect is sure to end in disappointment for everyone involved.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
