- Description: This is a Volkswagen Vanagon Carat with an all original equipment manufacturer wheelchair lift (mechanized) standard. Key power controls are on the outside of the van for the motorized slider door, and a switch on the lift itself controls the motorized lift. Front driver seat swivels for enhanced access. This Vanagon is in excellent condition. There is literally no rust as this is a southern van that resided most of its life in Florida and Georgia. The CarFax (available upon request) confirms the total history. The interior, including panels, carpet, dashboard, and upholstery is all clean and intact. Locks and windows are powered, all fully operational. All fuel lines on the vehicle were completely replaced just recently. Brand new power steering system, and all the usual regular maintenance and upkeep. Brakes are good, no damage to any glass or windows, and while the tires are good now you would probably want a new set soon. This van has been extremely well cared for and would be a dependable daily vehicle for a hip disabled person looking for something a little different. - Contact: 540.980.5489 www.VuhVanagon.com <http://www.vuhvanagon.com/> - Price: $4,200
