Wheelchair Van Oasis BBB Business Review
A+ Rating

2002 Pontiac Montana with extensive/complete power operated mobility conversion
Miles: 84,000 Actual Total Miles
(will be sold in "CERTIFIED" condition, with 6 month, 6,000 mile warranty)

Note: In this era, this is the mobility conversion brand that the majority of government agencies utilized in their special-needs fleets. The name of the conversion company is Eldorado


Highlights of This Van:

* Full power operated mobility conversion

* Fantastic, exceptional condition in every way

* A little bit larger inside than the much more common Dodge Caravan wheelchair vans

Options and Equipment

THE VAN:

This began as a well-equipped model, with 3.4-liter 6 cylinder and auto with overdrive. Features include common power and convenience features, plus many options, such as: tilt wheel; front and rear AC; power driver's seat; rear power vents; alloy wheels; overhead console with trip computer/MPG indicator/temp/direction/etc; upgraded interior and exterior trim; etc.

MOBILITY

Was converted when new by one of the largest convertors of the era, named Eldorado. They were by far the most popular brand purchased by commercial and government agencies and for-hire services.

* Deeply lowered floor, which begins directly in front of the rear seat and goes all the way to below the dash area.

* Easily removable driver's seat

* Power ramp

* Power sliding side door

* "Kneeling" suspension causes the rear of the van to lower a couple of inches when operating the ramp. This causes the ramp angle to be gentler, for ease of loading and unloading wheelchair

* Many (more than the norm) very flexible/versatile locations mounted in the floor to insert anchor straps for wheelchair.

* Includes 4 anchor straps

* Front passenger area is vacant, with plenty of space to park even a large wheelchair

Certified


This vehicle is 'CERTIFIED': There are a combined 76 mechanical and cosmetic aspects included in the Wheelchair Van Oasis "Certification" process. A foundational step of the rejuvenation process is when each vehicle receives an extensive inspection by an objective, independent third- party service and repair facility. Suggested service, repairs and improvements are then performed by various professional specialists. The result is your assurance that each of the 76 aspects meets or exceeds the condition level of good, or satisfactory.

Fresh or recent care/service/repairs: Each van has various elements which exceed the promised level of good, or satisfactory, which the "Certified" program assures. There are a wide range of improvements, some which were performed during rejuvenation and others that are obvious service or repairs performed recently, prior to my ownership.
