2005 Chrysler Town & Country Touring Edition Wheelchair Conversion Van on 2040-cars
McKinney, Texas, United States
2005
Chrysler wheelchair conversion Van.
First off, let me point out that this van is as
close to show room condition as possible, allowing for age and miles. I have
looked it over very carefully and found one nick on the front grill, about the
size of a house fly, one scuff on the right side belt molding and what appears
to be a car wash brush scuff on the right taillight lens; the interior is
beautiful. Let me also point out that I did not purchase this van with any
intention of reselling it, however, since it was a long-distance purchase, it
never occurred to me ask the width of the wheelchair lift. Unfortunately, the
Braun lift (NMV05)
although having a 400 pound lift capacity, is, at 25.75" usable width, about an inch too narrow for my power
wheelchair. This might also be a good time to point out that this van does not
have a lowered floor. However, because the previous owner actually purchased it
for a family member, who unfortunately became too disabled to drive before even
receiving it, and said owner has a car dealership, this van was completely
serviced mechanically from bottom to top and features new tires, new brakes,
new sway bar links, new battery and alignment. He also took the time to have
his local mobility dealer check out all of the adaptive equipment on the
vehicle and verified that it was working properly. If you are not familiar with
the AEVIT (Advanced Electronic Vehicle Interface Technology) systems, you will
be pleasantly surprised to learn that they make driving much easier and safer for
the disabled person. The AEVIT system provides electronic control of the
throttle and brake, so it requires much less physical input than a mechanical
system. It also has a screen with button switches to control all of the normal
driving functions such as starting, transmission shifting, parking brake, headlights,
windshield wipers, horn, HVAC, door locks and power windows. If you would like
to see a demonstration of some of these features, on this van, send me a
request and I'll reply with Youtube video links. This system is especially
convenient for someone who has contracted fingers, strength and/or reach
problems. That is why I wanted it for myself. Additionally, there is extra
power assist applied to the steering mechanism to make that lighter and there
is a backup system to provide boost for the power brakes in the event that the
engine is shut off. The AEVIT system is probably state-of-the-art in mobility
assistance and safety. It is also, if purchased new, very expensive. The local
shop told me I would be looking at around $60,000 to install a system in my
existing conversion Van. Obviously, purchasing it used can save quite a bit of
money. If you are looking at a vehicle history report, there is a mention of an
accident. I was told that this was a very slight incident that only damaged one
of the bumper covers which has been replaced. Again, I cannot overemphasize the
marvelous condition of this vehicle! EZ-Lock System and center
row seats are included, but not currently installed. Clear Texas title, in my name. Vehicle inspections
welcomed and vehicle can remain here for up to two weeks after purchase. VIN 2C4GP54L95R197534 Miles 42,246 Exterior Color GREEN Engine 3.8L Transmission Automatic Drive Train FWD

Chrysler stays IPO until 2014
Mon, 25 Nov 2013There will not be a Chrysler IPO in 2013. Fiat, according to a report from Forbes, has announced that it will not be able to make the American brand's initial public offering before the end of the year, saying that the short, five-week window that makes up the rest of 2013 is "not practicable."
Not surprisingly, the issue with the Chrysler IPO is the same as it's always been - a disagreement between parent company Fiat, which owns 58.5 percent of the Chrysler Group and a UAW healthcare trust, which owns 41.5 percent. Fiat wants to buy out the UAW VEBA healthcare trust, which is responsible for shouldering retiree healthcare costs, but the two sides are hung up on an actual price tag for the remaining two-fifths of the company.
The original idea saw an IPO as a way of setting a fair market price for the remaining shares, although it's not entirely clear what broke down and led to a delay of the IPO plan. As Forbes points out, by waiting until 2014, Chrysler could be risking a cool-off in the IPO market, which could mean less money in its pocket when the automaker finally goes public.
Marchionne's pay as Fiat CEO falls to $5M
Wed, 12 Mar 2014Sergio Marchionne will be buying fewer of his iconic sweaters, as his 2013 pay from Fiat took a dip from $6.24 million to an even $5 million. Marchionne, who was also CEO of Chrysler, made $307,989 thanks to some stocks and benefits from the American company, although he didn't take a salary. Of that $5 million paid by Fiat, $3.19 million came from Marchionne's fixed salary while the remaining $1.8 million was paid for hitting unspecified performance targets.
The news comes from Fiat's compensation reports, which also showed that the 61-year-old, who already owned three million shares in Fiat at the end of 2013, was able to receive an additional 2.3 million shares through a stock incentive program. According to Automotive News Europe, the additional shares would be worth about $25 million at today's prices, although so far, Marchionne has declined to claim the extra shares.
According to ANE, Fiat reported a 2013 trading profit of $4.7 billion.
Former Treasury boss unaware auto task force fired GM's Wagoner
Wed, 14 May 2014We dig a good political tell-all every once in a while (how else will we get our political fix while waiting for House of Cards' third season?). Today, we get just that from former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's new book, "Stress Test," which details, among other parts of the 2009 financial catastrophe, the structured bankruptcy that allowed Chrysler and General Motors to emerge as competitive players in the auto industry.
In the book, which is nicely recapped by The Detroit News, Geithner discusses the firing of GM CEO Rick Wagoner while explaining how much trust he had in the auto industry task force that executed the move without his knowledge.
Auto Czar Steve Rattner "didn't even consult me before he fired General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner; if anything, that move increased my confidence in Team Auto," Geithner wrote.
