April fools is tomorrow!

Ford E Series Van Chateau XLT Like New Only 9 977 Miles | eBay

 

Sadly there are a few "reality impaired" individuals or dealers who think the listed attributes justify that sort of pricing.

Sad part is while its a nice van being priced to a much newer version. I don't quite get the claimed "certified pre-owned"; by whom, what does that mean exactly? Because its a private seller so much of what's listed would be or should be highly subject to personal and rather extensive checking over.

 

That means that the van was driven to church by a little-old-lady only on Sunday, every other week........

You know how "Dealer" can come up with all kinds of "claims"


So.......speaking of ebay........and April 1st.........
I came across this listing over the weekend........I know I seen this van somewhere s before..........Maybe on this forum????

Ford E Series Van E350 | eBay

This would make one great service van for someone in the auto glass business, would be able to handle the 4 foot snow banks to get to the job.

 

I know what 'barn find' means but it doesn't seem to apply here. Pretty dumb choice of words. When I think 'barn find' I think of a 70 Twister found in a barn in Kansas sitting for 40 years under 3 inches of bird crap.

 

Glass guys---good ones anyway---need at least 90" clear continuous space to store or carry some windshields, those that are about 84" wide.

Nice truck in this link but the deck height would be a killer getting things into it----one could just fall out to exit.

 

The problem is solved with the roof rack on that thing

As far as getting in and out of the van, you do what I did for my cube van, make a fold down step for the 20+ times I go in and out of the van for something each day

 

Did you jokers scroll through the pics?
It's a mint condition, converted handicap van. I don't know about $31,000, but I know it's worth at least double the value of the van by itself.

We have a few wheelchaired members here on FTE; let's see what they say...

 

Really, if that was sitting in a barn it would be full of mice and other types of critters.

I'm a wheelchair user and drive an adapted van; fortunately I only need the basics: lift, 6 way seat base that I can transfer to and hand controls. That van is fitted with some big money electronics, in addition to the lowered floor and raised door opening. I'd be willing to bet that that van cost around 80k all said and done. But the majority of van handicap conversions are funded by state resources such as Vocational Rehabilation Services. Typically, you buy the van (new, or nearly) and all the adaptions get funded. That all said, I doubt they'll get anything near what they're asking.
