Options and
Equipment
This was built
when brand-new
in Arizona by
Vantage, which
is now referred
to as VMI.
It began as a
very well
equipped Dodge
Grand Caravan,
which has the
'Sport' package
with full power
equipment, dual
A/C, driver and
passenger
climate
adjustment and
the Infinity
high power
stereo with CD
and cassette
with equalizer
and more.
The mobility
equipment is;
full 10 inch
lowered floor,
which goes all
the way up and
under the dash,
which enables
the feature of
being able to
drive from a
wheelchair (if
you added hand
controls) and
also for the
front passenger
to be in a
chair. And there
are chair
anchors in the
front as well as
the rear.
No one builds
vans like VMI
and the front
seats are a
perfect
reflection of
that fact. They
are very easy to
take in and out
and yet
perfectly
comfortable,
solid and
well-positioned
when they are in
place. It
has the fully
sequenced power
sliding door and
power ramp and
also the
automatic
kneeling feature
with auto-adjust
air suspension.
There are
clearly labeled
controls for
these features
on the dash and
at the unit and
on the rear
outside body
panel.
I presume if you
are interested
in this van, you
already know
that VMI is
clearly the
Lexus or
Mercedes of the
wheelchair van
world. If
you are unclear
as to why this
is true, please
call and I will
be happy to chat
with you about
the exceptional
greatness of VMI
vans.

History of
Ownership
Only two owners.
Was bought new
by a person in a
luxury area of
southern
California.
Since 2005 was
owned by an
older man in
Colorado who was
paralyzed since
youth and in a
chair with
ventilator.

History of Care
As if often the
case, the folks
who owned this
did not save
receipts.
Of course, with
such amazingly
low miles, it
has not needed
anything major.
As part of my
'Rick's
rejuvenation'
process, I have
each vehicle
inspected,
serviced and
repaired in
whatever area
needed, which
includes an oil
change. The only
item of note
needed on this
one was a
coolant flush.
I personally
drove this from
L.A. (where the
older man's son
had it) and
without doing a
thing to it, the
trip was
flawless.
Also, as part of
my 'Rick's
rejuvenated'
process with
wheelchair vans,
I have a special
mechanic who is
an expert in
mobility
equipment who
performs a
service and
inspection on
relevant
components.
Mobility
equipment has
been adjusted,
lubricated and
miscellaneous
care given.

You Might Like
To Know...
* Part of my
rejuvenation
process is to
conclude the
detailing
process with a
paint sealant,
which has a
retail value of
several hundred
dollars and
significantly
protects the
finish...plus
also helps make
the van look
like new:)
* The dealer I
know who sells
new Vantage/VMI
vans has told me
a similarly
equipped one of
these is
currently a hair
under $50,000.
* There are
more than 700
dealers of these
worldwide! Yes,
this is the
ultimate
wheelchair van,
best quality and
easiest to have
serviced,
repaired or to
buy parts or
accessories for.

Summary of this
Gem
This represents
the finest
wheelchair van
brand available
and the most
wonderful,
comfortable and
easy to use. And
I have applied
my complete
'Rick's
rejuvenation'
process to it.
Surely this one
has the lowest
miles and is now
in the most
exceptional
condition of any
VMI/Vantage van
in this price
range.
