I'm in a spot here where I need to buy a full sized Chevy, Dodge or Ford
van to mount a wheel chair lift. The lift will fit almost any van
including a Vanagon (Need dependable
A/C) so Vanagon is out.
The only restrictions are headroom and a sliding door to allow the lift
to swing out. As time and circumstances prevail I can make this
transition upon the renewal of my Auto Insurance and sell my 92 Police
Package Crown Victoria that demands about $800.00 extra in premiums each
year. I'm searching for a site that will rate various Vans based on
dependability and disclose known week points. Since many Lemons survive
in spite of their many flaws I'm hoping to avoid buying one. I've
researched the Recall site at DOT but it list only safety recalls and
tech bulletins and doesn't give a true picture of dependability. Does
anyone know of a site that has more specific dependability ratings?

Thanks
Stan Wilder
