Options and Equipment THE VAN: This began as a "Grand" (longer body, as all wheelchair conversion vans are) Caravan with the smaller of the V6 motors available in this year, which is the 3.3. and it has an above average level of features. And so, in addition to common power and convenience items such as power windows, locks, mirrors, tilt wheel and cruise control, it has upgraded, optional features such as: rear ventilation; factory alloy wheels; upgraded stereo; tinted windows; power drivers seat; and more GOODIES: Custom pin-stripes MOBILITY: When new, this van was converted by the industry leader, "Braun". The name of the lowered floor conversion package is called an "Entervan". The wonderful, extensive, helpful package of features includes these items: * Power ramp out the passenger side door. This ramp is long and wide, allowing for nearly any wheelchair and person to go in and out. * Power sliding passenger side door. This operates in conjunction with the ramp and the "kneeling " suspension. * "Kneeling" suspension. This sweet feature causes the van to lower several inches in the rear, which notably reduces the ramp angle, and makes going in and out smoother, easier, safer. Note: a switch allows for turning this feature off, if you don't want to use it, such as for loading directly on and off of a curb or sidewalk. * Easily removable front seats. In a matter of seconds, you can flip a lever and remove or install either of the front seats. * Many various locations for inserting anchor straps in the floor, for securing a wheelchair. * Mobility conversion functions can be operated either with wireless remote, or via switches in various locations. * This extensive conversion package includes wireless remote control, for operation of the ramp, door and suspension. Dimensions, capacity and specifications: Please feel free to emailorcall me with any such questions. I will gladly assist with anything you wish to know. I have discovered that due to the unique way each person evaluates, measures and expresses their needs, I can be most helpful regarding this subject if we communicate directly. Ownership With the exception of its first 1-1/2 years, this was owned by a well-to-do family, who have primary homes in Portland and Medford. They typically went back and forth (600 mile trip) 1-2 times per month. Therefore, this van feels, appears and functions as if it were nearly new! Yes, the overall condition of this van is amazing. This is due to easy highway miles, and that they took nice care of it, plus the fact that it has had no kids, pets, off-pavement use, or smoking. GOLD-STANDARD This vehicle meets our very high standard. There are a combined 76 mechanical and cosmetic aspects included in the Wheelchair Van Oasis Rejuvenation process. A foundational step of the process is when each vehicle receives an extensive inspection by an objective, independent, third- party service and repair facility. Various professional specialists then perform suggested service, repairs and improvements. The result is your assurance that each of the 76 aspects meets (and very often exceeds) our promised condition level of good, or satisfactory. For details regarding list of 76 cosmetic and mechanical aspects, please click here Each van does of course have various elements that exceed the promised level of good or satisfactory, which the "GOLD STANDARD" program assures. Some are brand new improvements performed during rejuvenation. Others are obvious service or repairs performed recently, prior to my ownership. As for those, I only list below those positives which are certain, based on my either having a receipt, and/or due to being obvious to the inspecting-mechanic. I refer to these as "NEW OR RECENTLY SERVICED ASPECTS". As for this vehicle: New: power lock service; battery service; valve cover gaskets; oil and lube; transmission service; new radiator; coolant service; front brakes; rear brakes; mobility systems service Recent: quality tires; fuel pump assembly and level unit Approximate retail value/cost of above-listed items: $3,800 (investment in cosmetic rejuvenation is in addition to this $3,800) Carfax Report Summary (Carfax is a widely used database which indicates the history of a vehicle including accidents, prior owners, etc.) Nothing notably negative or unusual: no frame damage...no airbags deployed...no structural damage...no "red marks"...no major accident. You Might Like To Know... * Each of my vans has a superb paint sealant as the final step of the extreme detail. If you were to have a professional apply a treatment the cost would be several hundred dollars. * Dodge Caravan is and always has been a direct cousin to the Plymouth Voyager and Chrysler Town & Country. They are virtually the same vans, only with different misc details between them. * I typically have the vans of the prior body style, which went from 1996-2000. And to be frank, this body style van is nicer to live with than the prior. Aside from the fact that most folks would say this vans looks nicer, it also rides better, is quieter, smoother, etc. Of course, it also has a higher value than similarly equipped vans of the prior body style, which I usually sell in the mid-teens. If this van fits your budget, you'll love it. Summary of this Gem It is uncommon that I have wheelchair vans this modern to offer, because I focus on offering "Gold Standard" vans that I can make available for below $20k. However, because this modern van has a few miles, it's possible for me to offer it for a price that can fit the budget of some of the folks wanting to buy a "Gold Standard" van from me. |
