Highlights of This Van:

*apx. $1,600 of new and very recent mechanical service: details below (extensive investment in cosmetic rejuvenation is in addition to this $1,600)

*wonderful and least common this van has the "in-floor" ramp option which creates no blockage of doorway, as it "hides' under the floor

*This van is GORGEOUS and is in absolutely phenomenal condition in every way.  It could easily be mistaken for a 5 year old van.

 

Options and Equipment

THE VAN: Began as a very nicely equipped "SE" model Grand Caravan with modest size (3.3) 6 cylinder motor and auto with overdrive.  Has common power and convenience features such as: power windows, locks and mirrors; tilt wheel and cruise control; 4 speaker stereo system; tinted windows. This van also has these options: overhead console with MPG, direction, distance to empty, etc; rear ventilation system; upgraded interior and exterior trim features

GOODIES:  NEW, custom graphics/striping

MOBILITY:

When new, this van received a complete mobility conversion by industry favorite Ricon, which is the second largest convertor of lowered floor mobility vans. Ricons minivan conversions, in my opinion, are a bit nicer and better built than the ones from industry giant, Braun. The wonderful, extensive, ease-creating package of features which this van has includes all of this: 

* "in-floor" power ramp (no blockage of doorway when stowed) that appears from below the floor of the passenger side. Ramp is wide enough to allow for nearly any wheelchair and even large people to go in and out. 

* Power sliding passenger side door. This operates along with the ramp and the "kneeling " suspension in unison.

* "Kneeling" suspension. This helpful feature causes the van to lower several inches in the rear, which notably reduces the degrees of angle of the ramp, and makes going in and out smoother, easier and safer.  Note: a switch allows turning this feature off, if you don't want to use it, such as for loading direct on or off of a curb or sidewalk.

* Easily removable front seats. Just flip a lever and remove or install either front seats.

* Many locations for inserting anchor straps in the floor, for securing wheelchair.

* SUPER CONTROL CHOICES: power door, ramp and kneeling can be operated either with wireless remote control, or switch on the outside panel of the body, or via switches in various locations inside.

Certified

This vehicle is 'CERTIFIED': There are a combined 76 mechanical and cosmetic aspects  included in the Wheelchair Van Oasis "Certification" process.   A foundational step of the rejuvenation process is when each vehicle receives an extensive inspection by an objective, independent  third- party service and repair facility.  Suggested service, repairs and improvements are then performed by various professional specialists.   The  result is your assurance  that each of the 76 aspects  meets  or exceeds the condition level of good, or satisfactory

For details regarding list of 76 cosmetic and mechanical aspects, please click here.

Each van does of course have various elements which exceed the promised level of good, or
satisfactory, which the "Certified" program assures.  Some are brand new improvements performed during rejuvenation.  And others are obvious service or repairs performed recently, prior to my ownership.  As for those, I only list here those positives which are certain, based on my either having a receipt, and/or due to being obvious to the inspecting-mechanic.  I refer to these as  "NEW OR RECENTLY SERVICED ASPECTS".  As for this vehicle:

New:  ABS system service; oil/lube service; wipers; mobility systems service; scanner diagnostics check; one headlight 

Recent: 4 Tires (90% tread); battery

Approximate retail value/cost of above-listed items: $1,600

 (extensive investment in cosmetic rejuvenation is in addition to this $1,600)

* Each of my vans has a superb paint sealant as the final step of the extreme detail. If you were to have a professional apply a treatment the cost would be several hundred dollars.

* Dodge Caravan is essentially the same as a Chrysler Town & Country, or Plymouth Voyager. They are literally built by the same parent company (Chrysler) and are apx 95% the same

Summary of this Gem

Surely, this is one of the finest lowered floor minivans vans anywhere in America for under $20k, no doubt about that.  Incredibly low miles, features galore, built by my favorite convertor, and now restored to "Certified' condition.  This one is an ultimate example of an extraordinary wheelchair-access van.

very rare purple color is super fun and sharp
custom stripes add to the purple sharpness
 
 
immaculate and simple
yes, these are the total, actual miles
 
from every angle, so nice
wireless remote for power slider, power ramp and kneeling suspension
 
either front seat assembly goes in or out very easily, if you want to park a wheelchair in either front location
in-floor ramp is awesome, as it does not block the doorway when stowed
deeply lowered floor creates super entry clearance and interior headroom
Due to what is called an "in floor" ramp, there is no ramp blocking the door when stowed.
lowered floor for generous entry clearance and headroom
Immaculate, nearly like new interior.  This is the original carpet, which shows almost

 no wear. highly unusual for a wheelchair van

overhead console option has features such as: instant MPG; average MPG; direction; miles to empty; etc

Activan is a division of my favorite convertor, Ricon.
Custom striping scheme wonderfully accents the brilliant, gleaming burgundy paint.
rear ventilation with rear controls
original rear seat, has 3 belts
Super tres have only a few thousand miles since new
This shows body position when not kneeled, which is a few of inches higher than when kneeled.
This shows the van when "kneeled", which although only a few inches lower than when not kneeling, makes the ramp angle noticeably easier and better for entry and exit
Activan, by Ricon (my favorite for several reasons)
