Original owner selling very low mileage 2000 FORD WINDSTAR SE wheelchair accessible van. 33k original, documented miles Vantage Mobility (VMI) Northstar factory wheelchair conversion, which includes a lowered floor, in-floor power ramp, and power kneeling feature. Runs and drives well (see note on transmission below), and is very clean; upholstery is in excellent condition. Very well maintained; with oil changes every 3000 miles, brand new tires, new front struts/rear shocks, new battery, new front brakes, etc. Fresh oil/filter change. A/C blows cold. Never been in an accident (but see pictures for minor curb damage to fiberglass panel at bottom of L/R door). Never smoked in. Clean Carfax Comes with wheelchair tie downs which have never been used since the van also comes with installed and fully operational EZ Lock wheelchair receiver mounted in front passenger position (costs $1350 + installation if purchased new). Note, to use the EZ Lock, you will need a wheelchair mounting bracket and bolt assembly which can be purchased from EZ Lock. Also comes with the original passenger's front seat (mounted on platform) and second row captains seats (all of which have never been used). Driver's seat is also factory mounted on removable platform to enable use by wheelchair-bound driver (van has no hand controls). Also comes with original mat set, still in original packaging. Ramp is approx. 29” wide, height at entrance is approx. 54”, and height in front seating position is approx. 56”. Transmission drives and shifts smoothly, except that very occasionally when first started it may initially not engage. When this occurs, it resolves in about 30 seconds after which it operates without incident. This has been occurring occasionally for over 10 years – and occurred most recently months ago – and neither Ford dealer nor transmission shop has been able to replicate or diagnose. Beyond the mild inconvenience when it occasionally occurs at start-up, it has never caused us a problem. I have tried to describe the issues and flaws fully and accurately but, to state the obvious, it is not a new vehicle. It has the typical imperfections for its age, mileage and use. Mechanical inspection is encouraged prior to bidding, since vehicle is sold “as is” with no warranty. We are selling the van because our needs have changed. I am happy to answer any other questions before you bid. Call Dick at (516) 937-8145. Deposit of $500 via PayPal from winning bidder must be received within 24 hours after auction ends, with balance due by bank check or wire transfer within 7 days. If either is not timely received, I reserve the right to relist or sell to another party. Vehicle is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction to make a local sale.
