This Van has Under 35K Miles Original on it. It also has tons of features, Like Privacy Windows, Electric Windows, Full Heating, and Air Conditioning front and back, It has Both A CD Player and a cassette Player, Radio am/FM
It has a set of 4 Studded Rain & Snow Winter Tires, and 3 Spare Tires, 1 of the Spare Tires is attached under the van.
It also has a Very Expensive Electric Scooter Lift, controlled with hand held remote, This lift is located in the back of the van, The Lift comes all the way out, and goes down to the ground and then retracts back into the van. It is great for anyone who uses a Scooter & it is almost New, Only used about 25 times.
The Van Does have 3 Row seating, that means, there are the front seat, and passenger seat, then there is another row of seats behind that, and another row behind that, Now the LIft is installed and the 3rd row seat is folded down, but you can remove the lift and sell it for alot of $$$ and then the last row of seats will pull back up easy. So there are many things you can so with this van.
It is Red, and there are a few minor dings, and some minor scratches on the paint, but this van has been taken very well care of.
I only drive it maybe 15 - 18 miles a week because I am also disabled, so this van is in great condition with only 39+K Original on it.
In 2012 There was a Recall on the transmission, It was a small issue but I took it in and they fully fixed the issue, also the mechanic told me he replaced another small part & He said the Transmission Looked like it was New. So that was very good news
This van has self lock doors, and window wipers both on the front and back. It also has Electric Driver seat that you can move up, down, back, forward, There are many extras in this van. and its a very nice van. I wanted to keep it after my mom passed over, but I am on SSI and I just can't afford to keep it because I only get a Disability check each month.
It does show that it was in one accident, But to clear this up, it was bumped in the back bumper by another driver while driving very slow in a 5 mile an hour K-Mart Shopping parking lot, so it was in a minor accident, but it was a very minor Fender Bender, The back bumper was scratched and that was fully fixed by a insured qualified body shop.. So in terms of accident, there are different levels of degree and a mere Fender bender while moving 5 miles an hour or less in a Shopping center parking lot it not considered a serious accident, in fact it was a very minor Bump fender bender from a driver who was not looking ahead. so I just wanted to clear that up so you know that this van has not been in a real accident per say.
I have taken many photo's, Please send me any questions you have and if your a serious bidder or buyer please let me know and you can call me or I can call you to give you more information about this van.
The interior of the van is in great condition, there are some spots or stains on some of the seats and the carpet does need to be cleaned, My mom used to have this van Detailed every 6 months and it just needs a good cleaning, I will clean it up and wipe it down and get it ready for you, so no worrys there.
This will be a Pick up sale only, I can not ship the van, I may be able to work with you and help get it to you, Delivery may be a option. but That will have to be discus , So you can come pick it right up and we can go to the DMV together and do the Title change it only takes maybe a half hour.
I have a handy cap Plate on the van so I can get us into the handy cap line at the DMV which is very fast and easy. I have sold another car in the past and it was very easy to do. Just bring your ID or Driver License. Either way we can talk on the phone and come up with a good plan to get the van to you. This is my first Vehicle sale on ebay so I don't know exactly how you will want to do the pick up or delivery, just talk it out with me and we can figure that out, that is the small part.
So take a look at the photo's and see if this is the van for you. I am not asking Full retail price and another good thing about this van is the fact that it has under 40K miles which increases the value,
ALso, the most expensive type of Non Detergent Oil has been used in this van because it is the best and I was told I had to keep that kind of Oil in it or it would break the warranty. There is no warranty on the van but if you do go get a warranty if that is possible, than you can get it because the manufacture's required Oil has only been used. I might mention, that oil is very expensive too. So if you want to stop using Non Detergent Oil you can, but the oil used in this van is the best Oil made. It cost me 69 dollars to get the oil changed the last 2 times , so its good oil. And when my Mom had this van she only had the same expensive Non Detergent OIl put in it every time.
It is a great van, no matter what you can keep it for years to come or you can even resell it if you are a car expert.
Please only Honest Bidders, This was my moms van and It is all I have left from her, and I have treated it very well. It was my moms most Prized Possession, I am sure it will make a very nice vehicle for you and your family.
Thank you for shopping with me, and if you have any questions please ask them all and send them to me at my eBay.
One last thing, the Lift in the back of the van can be taken out, It is very expensive so you can keep it or sell it. This would be a great van for a nursing home, or anyone with handy-cap needs, or anyone at all. Its a great van.
a few things to mention, The Cd Player does not read dics's so it may need to be cleaned, Also The interior of the van is in need of a good cleaning, as I said there are some stains and spots on the seats, a couple small holes, the carpet needs to be cleaned, the upper interior has only a few dings or nicks, it really only needs to be cleaned very well and it will shine like new again.
I will offer to clean or have it Professionally cleaned for you so when you pick it up it is in very nice condition, I will refund you 100 dollars so you can clean it or I will clean it myself, I will let you decide.
One last thing, The title Currently does have a Loan on it for $800.00, upon payment I will get the title out of pawn and have it ready for who ever picks it up, and again I will even go down to the DMV with you to do the title processing. If you have any questions please message me I will answer any of your questions.
Thank you again

New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek
Fri, Jan 29 2016Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.
NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
Junkyard Gem: 1992 Mercury Grand Marquis LS
Thu, Nov 24 2022We've all been seeing the instantly familiar Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor on North American roads for what seems like forever, though in fact the very first of the aerodynamic Crown Vics didn't appear until a mere 31 years ago. Yes, after more than a decade of boxy LTD Crown Victorias, Dearborn took the late-1970s-vintage Panther platform and added a brand-new, Taurus-influenced smooth body and modern overhead-cam V8 engine, giving us the 1992 Ford Crown Victoria. The rule was, since 1939, that (nearly) every Ford model needed a corresponding Mercury, and so the Mercury Division applied different grille and taillights and the rejuvenated Grand Marquis was born. Here's one of the first of those cars to be built, now residing in a Denver-area self-service boneyard. The Marquis name goes respectably far back, to the late 1960s and a Mercurized version of the Ford LTD hardtop. The Grand Marquis began life as the name for an interior trim package on the 1974 Marquis Brougham (also LTD-based), eventually becoming a model in its own right for the 1979 model year. Today's Junkyard Gem came off the Ontario assembly line in March 1991, making one of the very first examples built. For 1992 (and through 2011), the Grand Marquis was a Crown Victoria with slightly enhanced bragging rights. This one has the top-grade LS trim, with an MSRP of $20,644 (that's about $44,370 in inflation-adjusted 2022 dollars). The corresponding Ford-badged model (built on the same assembly line by the same workers) would have been the Crown Victoria LX, which actually cost a bit more: $20,987 ($44,910 now). The very cheapest civilian 1992 Crown Vic cost just $19,563 ($42,045 today). There weren't any powertrain differences between the Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis in 1992. The only engine available was this Modular 4.6 SOHC V8, rated at either 190 (single exhaust) or 210 (dual exhaust) horsepower. The transmission was a four-speed automatic with overdrive. How many miles are on this one? Can't say! Based on the worn-out interior, I'm going to guess 221,719 miles passed beneath this car's wheels during its 32-plus years on the road. I've seen some very high-mile Police Interceptors, of course, including one with 412,013 miles, but Ford didn't go to six-digit odometers in the Grand Marquis until a bit deeper into the 1990s. Thanks to flawed speech-to-text applications on smartphones, the Grand Marquis is known as the "Grandma Keith" to many of us today.
