Item Description
Purpose-Built Low-Floor Wheelchair Accessible Van
This wheelchair accessible van features a chassis built by VPG/Mobility Ventures (now defunct) and is equipped with a reliable Ford engine and transmission. With only 47,206 miles on the odometer, this van is powered by a 3.7L V6 engine paired with an automatic transmission for smooth driving.
The van includes convenient features such as power windows, power locks, and a motorized wheelchair ramp for easy accessibility. However, please note that there are bad bushings in the front suspension that may require attention.
Despite the mentioned issue, the vehicle is still operational and drivable. We strongly encourage you to inspect the van yourself before making a purchase as it is sold as is, with no warranty provided.

Our Buyers Fees
With Municibid, pricing is clear, up-front and transparent. A buyer's fee (% of the winning bid amount) will be charged directly to the winning bidder upon the close of each auction via the credit card you entered prior to placing the bid. You pay the selling agency directly for the full cost of the item. (unless otherwise noted)
All Buyers fee's are aggregate unless otherwise noted. This means after you cross certain price thresholds you will pay a different buyers fee for the remaining amount. See below for an example.
Example:
If buyers fee is 8% for bids up to $99,999.99, 5% for bids $100,000 - $499,999.99, and 4% for bids over $500,000.
- Winning bid: $50,000: = Buyers fee: $4,000 (8% of $50,000).
- Winning bid: $150,000: = Buyers fee: $10,500 (8% of $100,000 = $8,000) + (5% of $50,000 = $2,500).
- Winning bid: $550,000: = Buyers fee: $30,000 (8% of $100,000 = $8,000) + 5% of $400,000 = $20,000) + (4% of $50,000 = $2,000).
Where can I see what the buyers fee is?
The current buyers fee will always be shown on the page of the listing under the current price in both the bid area and auction details area. You will also see the buyers fee amount you will pay for your entered bid on the page where you confirm your bid.
What if the selling agency rejects my bid?
If the government agency rejects your bid (they reserve the right to do so) your buyer's fee will be returned, in full, to you within 5 days of notification to Municibid of the rejected bid by the governing body.
