Chevrolet Chevy Van Usados en Venta

The van was a fleet vehicle at a local university before I bought it, and it has some features due to being an institutional vehicle that are inconvenient. For example, the rear heat and air conditioning controls were disabled, and the back and side door locks were set to be controlled by the driver only. The van had less than 60,000 miles on the odometer when I purchased it, but it had a lot of interior rattles and some of the upholstery was damaged. The tires that it came with were adequate but not new, so they had to be replaced early on. There is a CD player which worked fine at first but now sometimes jams or won't play some CDs. The outside lock on the driver's side front door came loose and fell into the door, so I have to enter vehicle through one of the other doors to unlock the driver's side door. The van is roomy and generally runs well. The doors all work well, not taking into account the lock on the front driver's side door, and I appreciate that as I've had problems with the side doors, especially, on similar vans in the past.

I purchased this van used so that I could have it converted into a handicap accessible van. I had need for automated side doors and automated wheelchair lift, a lockdown device for the wheelchair inside, a special driver's seat chair so that I could transfer from my wheelchair to the driver seat in order to drive, and pedal extenders so that I could reach the brakes and the gas. Once said and done along with some regular maintenance and new tires I had about $15,000 invested in the van used, whereas it would've cost me close to $70,000 had I gotten the van equipped with the equipment I have in it new.

It's an old vehicle that is rusting out around the front frame of the windshield. In turn, the water seeps under my dash and soaks the electronic modules which control shifting on the transmission. Because of this, it won't shift out of first gear until they get dried out. The engine is a small block 350(5.7L) which only gets 12MPG on a good day. It's incredibly sluggish. However, it is comfortable even if the seat arms are falling apart. I had to repair them. Additionally, the turn stalk/windshield wiper mechanism fell apart. The cruise control doesn't work. I have to use a pen in order to get any windshield washer fluid onto it.
