Frequently Asked Questions with Answers

Q:  Why are you selling this van?
A:  I bought it in May 2012, planning on using it to transport students to an after-school tutorial program I was starting (I am a retired teacher).  We also wanted to use it for group overnight and shopping excursions for elderly people, sports teams and other groups.  But my wife had to resign from her job (our primary source of income) because of health reasons, and I didn't have the money to get the tutorial program started.  So we don't need the van.

Q:  Why do you still have the van, almost a year after buying it?
A:  It's such a nice van and I invested so much in it fixing it up for how we wanted to use it (about $2,500) that I hated to give it up.  I kept hoping that I could start some kind of transportation service with it.

Q:  So, why are you selling it now?
A:  I am working 50 hours per week driving a cab and just don't have the time to get anything going with it.  Besides, we don't have the money to keep making payments and paying insurance on it.

Q:  Why does it have about 1,000 more miles on it than when you bought it?
A:  After my wife resigned from her job, we moved three times (from our home in Onalaska to San Marcos then Fredericksburg and finally to Corpus Christi, Texas, looking for work for me (not easy at age 68).

Q:  In what kind of condition are the surface features and appearance of the van?
E:  Excellent.  When we purchased it from Texas Direct Auto in Sanger, TX (a suburb of Houston) the van had a few cosmetic blemishes (a missing cigarette lighter, some broken ceiling air conditioner vents, a couple of small stains on the upholstery), but I fixed all those.  It now has no broken or missing parts or tears or stains in the carpet or upholstery.  The paint is in beautiful condition - no noticeable chips or scratches.  The only two blemishes are a small dent in the right corner of the front bumper (not noticeable unless you look at it closely) and a shallow dent on the lower edge of the body underneath the rear passenger door, just above the running board (also not noticeable unless you look closely - see photo).  Except when we were moving, the van has been in storage or kept covered.  For the past six months, since we arrived in Corpus Christi, it has not been moved and we have kept it covered (see photo).

Q:  How about the structural and mechanical parts of the van?
A:  Again, practically perfect.  We had a Ford master mechanic check all the structural and mechanical components (engine, steering, brakes, wheels, exhaust system and suspension).  He did an OBD2 computer analysis of the engine and a test drive, and reported no defects. He stated: "Engine is strong, starts, runs and performs very good. Transmission shifts very good as well. Transmission fluid is clean.  There is power to it. No abnormal noises from suspension or brakes. Van drives very good. No abnormal exhaust emissions noted at this time. Steering feels tight and responsive to driver input. Vehicle steers and brakes straight. No brake fade or pulsation noted at anytime during duration of test drive."  From the time we drove the van from the dealer in Sanger to our home in Onalaska, then all around central Texas looking for employment (a little over 1,000 miles), it ran great - very smooth with plenty of power.  We pulled a 5X8 utility trailer loaded with a refrigerator and other items up and down the hills of Texas, from San Marcos to Fredericksburg to Corpus Christi, with ease - hardly even noticing that we were pulling anything.

Q:  What sets this van apart as being a better deal than other similar vans for sale on Ebay?
A:  (1) Low mileage (43,380) for a three-year-old van, (2) Beautiful, practically like-new running condition and appearance, (3) Loaded with amenities (separate front and rear air conditioner controls, AM/FM radio, MP3/CD player with 3 sets of speakers and front and rear audio controls, driver controlled power windows and locks, etc.), (4) Extended size 15-passenger van, (5) Extras - running boards and trailer hitch + wiring harness, (6) Four new LT245/75R16 all-weather Nexen Rodian HT tires purchased in Fredericksburg, just before we moved to Corpus, (7) Unbeatable minimum bid asking price for a van this nice.  The van retailed new for over $35,000.  The present NADA Blue Book value for a clean van like this (without the trailer hitch and wiring harness) is $19,500.  Considering what we have put into the van (about $2,500 in repairs, maintenance and extras plus a down payment, taxes, registration and 11 months of payments and insurance), we will have to take a big loss, but we really need to sell it.  We are asking for only what we owe on the van plus a little extra to cover the cost of this Ebay ad.    


We are asking a $200 immediate deposit and the balance of the winning bid (cash or cashier's check) when the van is picked up at our home in Corpus Christi, Texas.  When the van is picked up, we will issue the purchaser a bill of sale and mail the title to the purchaser (overnight delivery) as soon as we pay the van off and receive the title from our Credit Union.

Questions?  Please feel free to contact me through the Ask (the Seller) a Question link.  Or, you are welcome to check the van out in person or have an independent inspection done.  Just contact me so that we can arrange for time and location.

EV tax credits: Here's every electric car or plug-in hybrid that qualifies

Tue, Apr 18 2023

Starting on April 18, the Internal Revenue Service released new guidance for U.S. buyers shopping for a new electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle. On April 18th, the IRS showed only six fully electric vehicles on the qualified list, but a day later Volkswagen confirmed its U.S.-built ID.4 also qualifies. That means right now, seven fully electric vehicles qualify for the full $7,500 EV tax credit, with three more from Chevrolet coming for the 2024 model year (we would expect these 2024 models to roll out slowly and be difficult to find for at least the first few months they are on the market). In addition to those seven fully electric cars, two plug-in hybrids also qualify for the full $7,500 credit. To qualify, a vehicle must be assembled in North America and must meet a strict set of guidelines that cover where battery materials were sourced. If any battery materials come from certain countries (importantly including China), the vehicle's tax credit is automatically cut in half. Further, according to the IRS, the vehicle's manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) can't exceed $80,000 for vans, sport utility vehicles and pickup trucks or $55,000 for any other type of vehicle (basically meaning sedans). Electric vehicles that qualify for the full $7,500 EV tax credit: Cadillac Lyriq (2023-2024) Chevrolet Blazer EV (2024) Chevrolet Bolt EV (2023-2024) Chevrolet Bolt EUV (2023-2024) Chevrolet Equinox (2024) Chevrolet Silverado (2024) Ford F-150 Lightning — all models (2022-2023) Tesla Model 3 Performance (2022-2023) Tesla Model Y — all models (2022-2023) Volkswagen ID.4 — U.S.-built models (2022-2023) Plug-in hybrid cars that qualify for the full $7,500 EV tax credit: Chrysler Pacifica PHEV (2022-2023) Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring (2022-2023) A smaller credit is offered on fully electric cars and plug-in hybrids that are assembled in North America but have batteries with materials sourced from unqualified countries (mostly China).

Best and worst car brands of 2022 according to Consumer Reports

Thu, Feb 17 2022

It's that time again, Consumer Reports this morning lifting the curtain on its 2022 Annual Car Brand rankings and its 10 Top Picks in the car, crossover, and truck category. Drumroll, please: This year, Subaru climbs two spots to claim the winner's circle, having come third the last two years. Last year, Mazda climbed three spots from 2020 to take the crown. This year, Mazda slipped to second, BMW taking the last spot on the podium, also a one-spot drop from 2021. Six automakers in the top 10 hailed from Japan, which is one more than last year, and five luxury makers occupied the top 10, which is two more than last year. And South Korean representation didn't crack the top this year, after Hyundai managed tenth last year. The seven makes after BMW are: Honda, Lexus, Audi, Porsche, Mini, Toyota, and Infiniti.  The magazine and testing concern says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CR’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." The domestics also took steps back among the 32 OEMs ranked on the 2022 card. Chrysler and Buick were the domestic carmakers who made last year's top 10 in eighth and ninth, respectively. This year, Buick dropped to eleventh, Chrysler to thirteenth. Dodge went from fourteenth to sixteenth. CR continues to ding Tesla's yoke steerer, the not-exactly-natural handhold responsible for the electric carmaker going from sixteenth last year to twenty-third this year.

2017 will be the year the connected car becomes a reality

Fri, Jan 13 2017

2016 was full of talk of autonomy, but little action beyond crazy, futuristic concept cars and announcement after announcement from automakers. If this year's CES is any indication, 2017 is going to focused on connectivity. More than that, CES showed that traditional barriers between automakers are breaking down in favor of universal and open source technology standards that will benefit both consumers and developers. CES, traditionally a showcase for the latest and greatest technology and gadgets like flat-screen refrigerators or televisions that broadcast in the fifth dimension, has become so intwined with the auto industry that we at Autoblog cover it like any other auto show. At every CES event I attended and nearly every booth I went to, there was some talk, display, or demonstration of how cars will connect to your phone and your home, and eventually each other. It seems we're heading toward the tech singularity where all devices work under one cohesive ecosystem – the Internet of Things, if you like. The difference between autonomy and connectivity is how real the latter feels because so much of the connected tech on display at CES is either here already or will be here by the end of the year. There were dozens of demos, both big and small, that allowed us to test and explore what's on the horizon. Bridging the gap between home and car, Ford is integrating the Amazon Alexa personal assistant straight into its vehicles. That means you'll be able to talk to Alexa in your car just like you would through an Echo or Dot at home. It also means you can shop on Amazon by voice while you're driving (since that wasn't convenient enough already). Samsung is developing smartwatch applications for Ford, BMW, and others. Toyota is adopting Ford's SmartDeviceLink smartphone connectivity system for its vehicles. That means developers can have one app that works across multiple infotainment systems. The Linux Foundation is developing an open-source operating system that will be free to use, making it easier for developers to connect smartphones and apps across multiple manufacturers' systems. Automotive Grade Linux, or AGL, is available for download right now. Major automakers like Toyota and Daimler (who usually are set on competing with one another) are partnering to further the development of the project. Bosch, Hyundai, and Chrysler showed connected car concepts at CES that preview the future of automobiles.
