This van has a wheelchair lift that could be sold for maybe $500. This van has, behind the seats, 12 feet of space and about 5 3/4 ft wide.<br /><br />The problem with this van is in its records, while it is clean and accident free, it was used as a taxi for 2 years (driven more than 35,000 miles on average per year for the 2 years) as well as it has been basically sitting for the past 4 years. <br /><br />Still, for the $3000, is it worth it? For anyone here with mechanics knowledge, do you think it would need more than $2,000 of mechanical replacements (because of its 4 years of not being driven much) if the engine is still ok?
