2008 Dodge Caravan with substantial full-power mobility conversion by my favorite minivan convertor
MILES 99,000
Price: $20,900 - Will be in our usual, highly rejuvenated (cosmetic and functional) "Certified" condition, with warranty




General Description
Began as the nicely equipped trim level of "SE". Has the 3.3 liter V6 and automatic with overdrive. Has common power and convenience features such as: power windows, locks and mirrors, plus tilt wheel and cruise control. Also has many additional and optional features, such as: CD stereo; upgraded interior and exterior trim; traction control/stability assist; power rear vents; power windows on slider doors; alloys, power drivers seat; tinted windows; rear ventilation; etc.

Mobility and Adaptive Features
When new, this was converted by VMI (Ricon) which is credited with being the inventors of minivan wheelchair vans, when they began converting minivans in 1987. This is my favorite minivan convertor. In my opinion, as well as that of the shop that does all mechanical work on my vans, based on 10 years immersed in wheelchair vans, VMI/Ricon are the best minivan wheelchair vans. Here is a list of this vans primary mobility features:

* Deeply lowered floor, from the rear seat to directly below the dash

* Easily removable front seat assemblies

* Power ramp is the favorite style (versus being stowed blocking doorway) which is hidden under the floor when not in use

* Power sliding side door

* Wireless remote for door and ramp

* "Kneeling suspension" lowers the rear of the van for the benefit of making the ramp angle less when loading/unloading

* Many locations in the middle and forward areas of the floor for inserting wheelchair anchoring straps

* Includes 4 nearly new automatic ratchet straps

Please consider these are "preliminary" photos and as such, they typically show the van in early stages of our transformation process. As a result you may see various flaws, which will be remedied prior to sale.

See the deeply lowered floor, as indicated by the major vertical ledge in front of the seat. Original floor height was near the top of that ridge.

Very gentle ramp angle feels safe and easy to use

Summary
With this van you have the opportunity to have the "current" (same general design from 2008 until now) body style at a price of only a few thousand dollars more than my prices on the previous body style. Of course, each new generation of any vehicle (prior Caravan was the same generation from 2001-2007) tends to have more features, better overall function, quieter, more technology, etc. My rejuvenated previous generation vans sell for only a few thousand less than this newer van. But with this van, in addition to the general benefits of having experienced less years of use, you get the many benefits of this being the current generation.

Status

Rejuvenation has begun: I have recently acquired this van and the extensive rejuvenation process has begun, which is carried-out by various professional shops and specialists. If you are interested in securing this van for your future purchase (many of my vans are spoken for in this way prior to completion of rejuvenation) please feel free to call or mail me with any questions

 

NOTE: I am always searching for more vans which are a nice addition to the mix of vans we have to offer. I will post initial information here about each van as I purchase, transform, and then make them available for sale. From the time I purchase a van until my transformation process is completed, averages approximately 4-6 weeks.

Please visit this page periodically.

Thank you,

Rick

Dear Rick... I want to take this time to let you know how excited I am about the 95 Ford camping van that I bought from you. I just love it!! I truly appreciated your kindness, patience and understanding throughout the whole process. I also appreciate the quality of the van. You were nothing like those typical car salesman. You were friendly, cheerful and not pushy....and still gave me a great deal!!! I will certainly send folks your way.

Thanks again!
