Who/Where we are: Double-D-Auto Sales 104 Lewisberry Road New Cumberland, PA 17070 Located about 15 minutes south of Harrisburg, PA right off Route 83. Phone: 717-774-5590 We are a small used car dealership specializing in older, used cars, trucks, 4x4's, motorcycles, ATV's, boats, Commercial vehicles, classic cars, muscle cars, project cars/trucks and other specialty items. Most vehicles are trade ins, new dealer trade ins, auction purchases, estate settlement purchases or consignments. Vehicles are listed, described and advertised with information received from previous owners and/or what we notice during the short time we have in our posession. We typically DO NOT know any history, service records, previous repairs or previous issues with these items.....what we know will be listed in the ad.....AND......obviously we cannot predict any future problems, issues or breakdowns on any used vehicle. All items are sold as-is and no warranties are given or implied unless otherwise stated in the ad (some/most of our vehicles qualify for our new warranty program and we will clearly state that in the ad if that is the case). Most of our items are also pictured while on our shop/garge lift....we do this extra step to help you folks feel more comfortable and to help you see as much detail as possible.....we are not your typical "used car dealer" that plays games.....we will do our best to show and tell you everything we know and see with each vehicle. If its got problems, we will tell you. If it has damage, we will tell you. If it has title problems, we will tell you. If we see it, notice it or are told it by previous owner, we will tell you. If there is something not mentioned or you have a specific area of concern or a question....just call or email us and we will do everything possible to find out the answer for you. We do all of our EBAY auctions as a NO RESERVE Auction......this means NO high starting bid, NO rediculous asking price and NO games......High bidder wins the auction and buys the item for his/her winning bid! This means that YOU determine the sale price of the item and we sell the item regardless of the final price.........this has been our policy for over 10 years now on ebay and we find that it works very well for our customers. Our other strong policy is that we DO NOT end auctions early, no matter what! Once one of our auctions gets a bid, it rides out all the way to the very last second.....we do this to be fair to ALL bidders/potential buyers......you do not have to worry about the auction ending early. There is no buy it now price on any of our NO Reserve auctions.......YOU MUST BID ON IT TO BUY IT and High bidder will win/buy it! __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ********NO RESERVE AUCTION = High bidder wins/buys it at the end.....NO buy it now and NO ending auction early = You must bid to buy!! ********Please read the ENTIRE AD!! (don't just look at pictures)..... then bid. Take the time to read everything and most of your questions should be answered, just by reading the entire ad. ------If you still have questions or concerns, then please email or call me and I will do everything possible to answer them quickly for you. ******Most problems after the sale are because of folks NOT READING the entire ad and description, so please take the time to do so if you are a serious buyer. Item up for auction: 1998 Ford Windstar Mini Van with lowered Handicapped floor and Wheelchair ramp/Wheelchair driveable feature. Item description, features and options: This is a really nice set up for handicapped drivers....has a factory modified/conversion wheelchair floor which is completely lowered to accomodate the wheel chair lift and allow wheelchaired folks to stay in the wheelchair to drive or as a passenger....SEE PICS! *****Still retains factory foot pedals for driving.....NEVER HAD HAND CONTROLS INSTALLED. EFI 3.8L-V6 engine, automatic transmission, power steering, brakes, locks and mirrors, tilt wheel, cruise control, air conditioning, am-fm-cassette, rear window defogger, rear bench seat, REMOVEABLE FRONT Captains seats, rear spare, Factory Conversion ground effects, power sliding side door, wheelchair lift, factory tachometer, etc.........61k ORIGINAL MILES!!! Van has been sitting for the past 4 years, unused, not driven and not inspected since 2008. Tire condition: Good radials with 50-60% tread left. Interior condition: Minor stains and wear associated with age and use but not ripped up, not stinky and is in pretty good condition overall. Drivers side power front window works but falls off track and needs help back up. Passengers side only works with that switch (not working from drivers side). Heat works, radio works, rear windows work, a/c needs charged. Guages all appear to work fine. Service engine light is always on (should be tuned up and serviced....been sitting). Power slide side door is sticky and sometimes needs help to open (door open light/bell in dash is always on) and we have no clue how to work the wheelchair ramp. Body/Exterior condition: Solid body, no real rust or dents. Passenger side ground effect piece (plastic) below passengers door has a piece broken out of bottom but would be easy to patch or replace if needed. Cosmetic flaw only, nothing structural and the actual body is solid and straight. Underneath condition: Excellent shape underneath, clean and solid. Paint condition: Paint is just fair. Some fading and weathering, minor scratches here and there but still looks decent and is very, very presentable overall. Mechanical condition: Been sitting, should be completely serviced and tuned up and inspected but runs good with no odd engine noises or smoke, smooth and quiet idle and revs up strong. Transmission shifts properly and van drives/handles the road very well. Seems to be a very strong runner and a nice driver, just needs typical TLC/serviced and gone over to get back on the road as a daily driver. Runs and drives just fine as it is, but, it has not been on the road in over 4 years, so we suggest this servicing as just common sense before driving everyday. Mileage status: -----------61,000 ORIGINAL MILES!!! Title status: Clean and clear title. Other notes: Rare handicap/wheelchair van.....very rare and expensive conversion, LOW MILES and in solid shape. Been sitting, under carport type area and has not been used in several years. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ******Please ask all questions, come see and check out item and test drive.......BEFORE YOU BID!

Let's face it folks.....we deal in used vehicles and although we try our best, we can't please everybody. We ask that all buyers keep realistic expectations when looking at any used vehicle, no matter where you buy it.
