Handicapped Conversion Van With Ramp on 2040-cars

US $10,000.00

Olathe, Colorado, United States

    This van was purchased second hand in 2011 by my friend.  Recently the need for a handicapped vehicle became unnecessary.  All the money made from this purchase will be given to charity.  The point is that a reasonable offer may be accepted.
   The photos tell all.  One photo shows the handicapped conversions done in Florida.  The entire floor was lowered 10 inches and it has "kneel"which lowers the entire vehicle in order to ease a wheel chair up a ramp into the space normally used for the middle seats.  The passenger side front seat is gone.  The drivers seat is removable (to accommodate someone's wheel chair.  It does not have hand controls for applying brakes but they could be added.  The EZ lock system could be moved over to the driver area.  This is mentioned because the vehicle set up  for a handicapped passenger but  is adjustable for a handcapped driver.
   There are ramp switch locations in the front and the back.  There are buzzers to insure the chair lock down and for backing up.  There are two sliding doors for easy access.  The upholstery is in excellent shape.  There is a charger system under the rear seat for charging a wheel chair.  An AC mod puts AC in the rear (heater also).  The remote just locks the doors and does not lower the ramp.  (This would be important for a handicapped driver).
   With the exception of a crack in the running board (photo) the paint is in excellent shape.  One photo shows the front hood. 
   The van has heavy duty suspension, oil cooler (tranny), a heavy duty radiator and wiring harness for a trailer tow.  The roof rack is in excellent shape.  I stood on the ramp to show its strength, at least at 200 + lbs. 
   New this vehicle was over $50K.  We are going to ask $10K and no auction.  Make an offer.  I think this is the only ramp van in the the Western US.  I am ready to deliver if necessary.  I can't do it for free so make an offer for that also.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Could Chrysler leave Michigan for Tennessee?

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

Detroit's Big Three could become the Big Two. According to an AP report in The Detroit News, state officials have been lobbying for Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne to select Tennessee as the location for Fiat's joint headquarters with Chrysler Group LLC.
This weekend, Marchionne met with Tennessee governor Bill Haslam at a ceremony celebrating the expansion of a Fiat subsidiary plant in the city of Pulaski. The AP report does not mention any serious talks about headquarters relocation, only that Tennessee officials have been "working me over pretty well," according to Marchionne.
Fiat hopes to complete its merger with the Auburn Hills-based automaker sometime next year, and earlier reports have stated that the company is seeking $10 billion in financing to buy the remaining bits of Chrysler. If the company were to relocate, it would join Nissan and Volkswagen in having major American automotive operations in Tennessee. Of course, that whole "Imported From Detroit" thing would need to go out the window, as well.

Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.
