Options and Equipment
THE VAN:
This began is a 3/4 ton (e250) standard length (not long or short) with moderate trim level of XLT. As a result it began with common power, convenience and cosmetic features such as: power windows, locks and mirrors; tilt and cruise; chrome bumpers and fancy headlights; misc interior and exterior trim features; much more. This has the famously strong, reliable and reasonably economical 5.4 liter Triton motor with 5 speed automatic for respectable MPG.
Conversion Note: MOBILITY:
For most folks seeking a wheelchair van, these are of course the most important elements. During the nearly 8 years that I have been a dealer of used wheelchair vans, there have been a few NorCal vans in my inventory and I have seen and experience many more. I will say that in my opinion this conversion rivals those done by world-leader Braun and surpasses a wonderful east coast company named Rollx. You see, in this industry I see conversion from all sorts of companies, big and small. When it comes to full size mobility vans small, low volume, independent companies that are local to the buyer convert most, possibly 90 percent. Those conversions are usually suitably good enough quality, although there is a big variance from one independent convertor to another. However, vans such as this, which have been converted by a volume company that has invested greatly into design, engineering and systems and procedures, produces a mobility van of noticeably higher quality than the small, local, independent shops. This surely does not mean that those 90% of vans that are not built by the large companies are bad vans, not at all,
however...a van like this one stands above those independently converted vans. Here is a summary of the mobility features of this van: Please feel free to email or call 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.
History of Ownership
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. For details regarding list of 76 cosmetic and mechanical aspects, please click here.Each van does of course have various elements which exceed the promised level of good or satisfactory, which the "Certified" program assures. Some are brand new improvements performed during rejuvenation. And others are obvious service or repairs performed recently, prior to my ownership. As for those, I only list here 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". Here are the new and recent items: New: This van has had such exceptional care, prior to my acquisition, that it did not require extensive care to reach our Certified level. There are a few new items and major recent items, as seen below. Brand new items: service of doors, ramp, seats; oil/lube/filter; wipers; air filter; new shift lever device; misc bulbs Recent: 4 Michelin tires; front brakes; rear brakes Approximate retail value/cost of above-listed items: $1,900 (extensive investment in cosmetic rejuvenation is in addition to this $1,900)

* 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. Summary of this Gem This is the newest and most amazing van I have ever had the great pleasure of offering. As you have read above, there is a very long list of reasons why this is an absolutely special and fantastic van. A super cool fact is that when you drive down the road in this, it looks, feels and functions nearly the same as a brand new one, at a price that is about ½ of a new one... but looks, feels and functions virtually identical. Plus, given that Ford full size vans such as this routinely go 200-300 thousand miles without need for major repairs, this van has a very long life expectancy.
