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

PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
This woman owns the first Ford Mustang sold in the US
Wed, 11 Dec 2013As Ford celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Mustang with the unveiling of the all-new sixth-gen design, one Chicago women can lay claim to a piece of Mustang history. According to CBS Chicago, Gail Wise was the first person in the US to buy a Mustang in 1964, and she did so two days before the car was even unveiled to the public.
Wise, then a 22-year-old teacher, went into the Chicago Ford dealership wanting to buy a convertible, and a salesperson ushered her over to car covered by a tarp. That car was a baby blue Mustang convertible, which she still owns today - along with the documentation. After sitting for almost 30 years and undergoing a full restoration, the car now looks to be in original condition. The report says that this $3,400 purchase could be worth anywhere between $100,000 and $250,000. While this worked out well for Mrs. Wise, we wouldn't recommend anyone going into a dark, back room of a dealership hoping to get a jump on the purchase of a 2015 Mustang.

Ford announces free brake pad offer if customers stop by dealers
Mon, 04 Aug 2014These days, when you buy a new car, it's not unreasonable to expect a certain period of free maintenance to come along as well. Sometimes this is through the life of the warranty, in other cases a little less. But Ford Motor Company is going beyond those deals for at least one part of its cars. As of now, if you buy a set of Motorcraft brake pads for a Ford, Lincoln or Mercury model, you get free replacements for as long as you own the vehicle. The offer is good at Ford or Lincoln dealers and Quick Lane Tire & Auto Centers.
"We will replace the pads for as long as you own the vehicle," said Elizabeth Weigandt to Autoblog. She did clarify that the Motorcraft pads are generally for models from the '90s or newer. Also, to take advantage of this program, a person must return to the same dealer each time to get the free parts.
Of course, Ford isn't just handing out brake pads to anyone who walks by; there are certain stipulations. First, the components have to be worn down to less than three millimeters to be eligible, and the buyer still has to pay for the labor to install them. If the model is used as a fleet vehicle for commercial purposes like as a taxi or limousine, this offer also doesn't apply; the same thing for racecars. On the plus side, if you recently bought a set of pads from one of the participating locations, you're still in luck. The deal covers parts purchased as of July 1.
