This van is awesome. I fell in love with it two years ago because it has so much character and I wanted to take it across the country. However, it's not good on gas and I was never able to afford the trip. I have used the van a few times for shorter trips and tailgaiting, and it is a crowd-pleaser and attention grabber to say the least.
The van starts right up and I have never had a problem where it didn't.
It idles high, and it coasts at 30mph without even touching the gas pedal. I'm not sure if this is bad for the van or not, but it doesn't seem to affect anything in the engine at all. It doesn't overheat, even in traffic on a hot summer day.
It most likely needs new tires. They aren't the best in wet conditions and the momentum of the van doesn't help the situation either. I got used to it and I don't even notice it anymore, but I would definitely recommend new tires.
All of the interior motors work, including the front two power windows and the motor that turns the couch into a bed. The other windows slide open only on the bottom.
The AC has not worked since I've owned the van. I never looked into it so it might just need to be charged.
The interior is in beautiful condition, give or take some normal wear for a 21 year old van. But the original owner never took the plastic protector off the back carpet and neither did I, so it's in great condition.
There are two gas tanks, but there is a leak in the top of the back tank. I just dealt with it by only filling the back tank up half-way and I never had a problem.
***Currently, there is a problem with the brakes. I had them done completely for $1000 two years ago, but a day ago they started acting up. I'm pretty sure it just needs brake fluid, but I will absolutely figure out for sure before I sell the van to anyone. I just don't want to put anymore money into the van unless I am sure I am selling it.***
The van has passed emissions for me whenever needed without any problems.
This van is a ton of fun to drive, sit in, and look at. I'm sad to see it go but I know it's for the best.
Come check it out!
Notable features: overhead lights above every seat, runner lights on back wall and on steps, a small tv with a VCR (the tv turns on but the VCR ate my tape), small cooler built into floor, two super-comfy velvety-fabric bucket seats, a couch that converts into a bed with a motorized button, duel-purpose shades on all large windows (one that is opaque and allows light through, and one that is a solid privacy shade), police radar-detector (I'm not even sure if it's legal, it just came with the van when I bought it), generous trunk space with a hanger holder, complimentary cigarette-lighter vacuum

Enterprise customer billed $47k for Mustang stolen from rental lot
Sun, 05 Jan 2014A weekend rental of a Ford Mustang GT Convertible sounds like a nice, relaxing way to burn some gas, but one Nova Scotia woman's two-day rental is turning into a months-long headache. In early October, Kristen Cockerill picked up the Mustang from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and she returned it the following day as stipulated by the rental contract. Unfortunately, she dropped the car off on a Sunday - a day on which the particular Enterprise office is closed - and the car ended up being stolen overnight.
Now, two months later, CBC reports that Cockerill received a bill from Enterprise for the full replacement of the car totaling $47,271 (a base 2014 Mustang GT Convertible currently costs $40,349 in Canada). As it turns out, the fine print in the contract says that the renter is responsible for cars dropped off after hours until it can be inspected the next business day - this is also reflected on the key drop seen in the news report video, which states "vehicles returned after hours are the responsibility of the renter until inspected on the next business day."
It's not clear how much, if any, of that amount Cockerhill will be responsible for once her insurance company gets involved, but if the insurance company refuses to pay, Enterprise will bill the amount to the credit card she provided during her rental. While this ordeal is far over for Cockerhill, it's a good reminder for the rest of us to always read the fine print.
Toyota, Ford decide to end hybrid collaboration before it starts
Tue, 23 Jul 2013Not all so-called Memorandum of Understanding pacts end in actual collaborations. For instance, after a two-year "feasibility study," Toyota and Ford have just announced that they will not be developing hybrid systems for use in light trucks and SUVs as previously planned, and the two automakers will instead continue to develop their own hybrid technology independently.
The would-be collaboration was first announced in August of 2011, and would have seen a rear-wheel-drive hybrid platform that would "improve the efficiency of trucks and SUVs while still allowing them to be driven in the way customers expect," according to our initial post on the topic.
Keep in mind that this announcement isn't to say we shouldn't expect hybrid pickups and SUVs from the two automakers, but that they probably aren't coming very soon - Ford says it will have a system "before the end of this decade" and we haven't heard much from Toyota on the hybrid truck front since the 2008 A-BAT Concept (pictured above) - and that they will not share any components between them (and they never have, for what it's worth).
Ford wants smart cruise that's speed and grade sensitive
Thu, Jul 23 2015Ford is working to make adaptive cruise control even smarter and more economical for future vehicles. The automaker now has a patent (pdf link) on a system to use information on the grade of the road, traffic data, and a driver's preferences to eke out better fuel mileage over a journey. This solution would essentially put a little hypermiling right into a model's software. The Blue Oval's patent refers to this tech as "route navigation with optimal speed profile," and the system starts by splitting the way to the driver's ultimate destination into many smaller pieces. Each one is analyzed based on GPS data, and traffic info is also constantly updated. Based on the occupants' preferred travel time, all this info is combined to figure out the most efficient speed for each leg of the journey. All of these calculations are actually more than the car's computers can handle, so some of the math is offloaded to a cloud-based network. According to Ford, some of the benefits come when tackling hills while diving. Maintaining a single speed when going up and down steep grades isn't the most efficient method, but current technology can't easily make the necessary adjustments. This system uses the GPS data to adapt the vehicle's speed and leave the situation with better fuel economy. Ford is currently making major investments into autonomous driving technology and has some prestigious partners. While the patent documents don't specifically mention the optimal speed profiles for driverless vehicles, they seem like a natural fit. Over the course of an entire trip, the fuel economy gains would likely be even greater than over a few miles on a relatively flat interstate.
