Vehicle Detail
2008 Dodge Grand Caravan Handicap Van with Wheelchair Ramp Rear Entry 47,000 Miles I have been a quadriplegic since 1986 and have a lot of experience buying and using handicap vans. I can't afford to buy new handicap passenger vans at around $40k so I buy fairly late year models with under 60,000 miles for best value. The most important are the things I've learned over the years. I only buy mini-vans because of the ease and speed of egress, no wait for lift to come down then up. Better line of sight from mini-vans and less ramp rattle. Be wary of kneeling rear ends since they use air bags and air compressors that are known to fail regularly. I have also learned to stay away from fully automatic remote door and ramp systems. When they fail, and they do very often, the greedy mobility dealer will charge you $800 plus [without telling you that all he did is adjust two little micro switches attached to the actuator at the door/ramp, my brother did the same fix in minutes with a screwdriver at no cost]. I only use manual equipped handicap vans and that is what I have for sale here. I bought this van nearly four years ago with thirty-five thousand miles on it. It's a rear entry van that can carry two chairs max, it is equipped with a Q-Straint ratcheting, retracting, movable tie-down system. It utilizes a bi-fold 32 inch wide ramp in the rear. The wheelchair sits between two seats behind the driver and front passenger. It runs great and the brakes, exhaust, tires, trans. and engine are all in great shape. The interior is perfect but for one small [1 inch] tear in the rear of the drive side, second row seat. The exterior is in great condition for a five year old vehicle. Look at all the pix. Last three pix show 2 paint scrapes, 1 on front left bumper, 1 on rear left bumper. Also someone backed into my front plate, hardly visible when plate in place, not visible if using plate frame. Very nice van overall. $500 deposit due within 24 hours of close via PayPal only.

Using U-Ship, you can negotiate your shipping cost. After reviewing the AUTOcheck report, I found a glaring mistake in it. This van has only 46,840 original miles. When we took the van in to the ILL. Emissions for routine check in mid 2012, the tester punched in 83,000 instead of 43,000 [approximate mileage at that time]. I only noticed the mistake after two months later while looking more closely at the Pass receipt given to us. We went back the very next day and were assured that they would fix the problem....obviously they did not. I have scanned in both documents that were given to us at the time of the two separate visits. If they are open tomorrow, I'll be there.After many calls to Springfield [Capital of ILL] and a visit to Chicago office got me a correction of the original odometer reading error from 6/4/2012. I have scanned in the corrected document.
