New Van


I just returned from looking at new wheelchair accessible vans.  I plan on purchasing this 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan.  It has less than 10,000 miles and looks like it's in really good shape.  It's not exactly my dream vehicle (2010 Ford GT Mustang) but I do like the Deepwater blue color.

I imagine it will take some time for all the paperwork and the loan to go through.  But I'm looking forward to having a new vehicle.  Its front wheel drive so it should go well in the Pittsburgh winters. 

The 3.8 L V-6 engine should be better on gas than my current eight cylinder.  I also like the fact that instead of carpeting in the rear, it has a rubber floor.  That should make it easy to clean.  The ramp stows completely under the floor and the van itself will kneel down.

Now if it only looked like this

Hey Greg, that looks like the exact color of my Dodge Grand Caravan van! Mine is called Patriot Blue. I know you have your loan being processed, but for future information, look into the PA Initiative on Assistive Technology. They provide low interest loans to people with disabilities in order to buy vans, chair lifts, get repairs, etc. Their website address is www.patf.us. Have a happy new year! Keith
