Wheelchair Van on 2040-cars
Orlando, Florida, United States
|
For sale is a 1997 Ford conversion van that in our opinion is in fair condition cosmetically and good condition mechanically. Previous to our ownership of it, the van had been gone through by a trusted local mechanic shop. We were told they added new front brake pads.
We have driven the van only short distances such as to school and back and have not put many miles on it We have had the rear A/C fan replaced with a brand new one and the wheel chair lift has had one of its electric motors professionally rebuilt. It should be noted as for the wheelchair lift, on occasion the remote button to lower the lift to the ground works intermittently and more often than not one must use the button inside the van to accomplish the lowering process. This has not been too much of an issue as the lift itself has been reliable. The van is being sold as is and we do not know the history of it. It drives well considering it is a large and heavy vehicle. The motor is a V8 and runs strong. The transmission is automatic and shifts as it should. The battery is in good condition. The tires hold air and have some tread left. This van may require maintenance as any used vehicle and is being sold as is. It has aluminum wheels and room to stand up inside (depending on your height) as well as mood lighting and a tv and vcr which we have never used so it is unknown whether they work or not. It has chrome bumpers and a trailer hitch and factory tinted privacy glass in the rear. The van comes with two additional captains chairs that are not mounted. It has an electric couch seat in the back that reclines. It has an aftermarket stereo in the dash. The carpet has some oil stains from the lift. All things considered it is a decent van and serves its purpose well. It has been our experience that to find a van such as this and at this price does not happen very often. I noticed in the auto check report, now that it is available, which describes a minor accident with a parked vehicle. So I looked over the van and there is a small dent behind the right rear wheel. Not very noticeable though as we did not see it till now. Thank you. |

Ex-PR chief Vines accuses Ford of bugging cars, phones
Fri, 24 Oct 2014Jason Vines, former head of communications at Ford among other automakers, is accusing the Blue Oval of bugging his company phone and his car during the Firestone tire recall for the Explorer in 2001. The allegations have come to light in Vines' upcoming book What Did Jesus Drive? Crisis PR in Cars, Computers and Christianity.
According to The Detroit News, which has an advance copy of the book, Vines (pictured above) claims that after leaving the company, someone with security within Ford advised him that he had been bugged around the time of the recall. The allegations don't stop there, though. Vines further contends that he might not have been the only one to get this treatment, noting that then-general counsel John Rintamaki also believed he was being listened to.
According to The Detroit News, even if it had been a company phone, recording Vines without his knowledge still would have been a felony under Michigan law.
Detroit automakers gain market share simultaneously for first time in 20 years
Wed, 01 May 2013While monthly sales figures might be an easy way of tracking the progression of the auto industry and individual automakers, looking at market share might be more indicative of how each company is actually standing up against its competitors. For the Detroit Three automakers, they have collectively lost almost 30 percent of the market over the last 20 years, but now, for the first time since 1993, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have each posted market share gains at the same time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's share increased the most by 0.7 percent, GM was up 0.5 percent and Chrysler rose marginally by 0.2 percent, giving the Detroit automakers a total market share of 45.6 percent. As for the Japan's Big Three, the article reports that Toyota is up by 0.7 percent, Nissan is down the same amount and Honda has seen "little change."
Next Ford F-150 delayed for aluminum body panel issues?
Wed, 11 Dec 2013The timetable for next-generation Ford F-150 may be in trouble if a report from The Truth About Cars is true. The next F-150 is slated to make extensive use of weight-saving aluminum in its body, but the aluminum alloy provided by suppliers hasn't met Ford's requirements in the earliest phases of pre-production, according to the report.
The F-150 represents a huge portion of Ford's profits and is the best-selling truck in the US, even in the face of increased pressure from cross-town rivals General Motors and Ram. While the current truck is treading water against its competition, we'd be lying if we said the F-150 weren't growing quite long in the tooth.
If production of the next-generation of the Ford cash cow, said to be based on the Atlas Concept from the 2013 Detroit Auto Show (pictured above), is delayed, it could be bad for Ford. Production at Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant is already set to be delayed six to ten weeks, missing an internal on-sale deadline of Memorial Day.
