Ford E-Series Van (1999)
for sale

Price: US $5,000.00

Description:

This is a great van, a less common, heavy duty E250 series, think of Ford F250, GMC/Chevy/Dodge Ram 2500 series. These are built with heavy duty components, ride a little higher, have higher towing capacity and are downright the best bet for long term durability.
This van has 75K original miles….documented service and carfax reports. I purchased the van from the original owner 3 years ago, I have taken this van on many great road trips with my kids, everyone is comfortable, the ride is nice, it’s a great cruiser, gets decent gas mileage….same as my 2012 Lincoln Navigator….same engine as well.
This van can tow heavy loads, I have only used it several times to tow my 20 foot boat to the Poconos however it handles it with ease, not like the cross-over vehicles where your pushing a front drive based system.
There are 2 AC/Heat systems that work great. Power windows, seats, locks….everything is power and works great. I upgraded the stereo system to a Kenwood with DVD/CD, Bluetooth hands free, IPhone/Pandora integration and a new amp with 6 new Kenwood 5x7 speakers. The van was set up for towing, however did not have the actual hitch so I added that. The tires are all new within 3K miles; the breaks (front pads/rotors/calipers) are new in the last 2 years…stops very smooth. Oil has been changed every 3K by me and looks to be by previous owner. The van includes all the manuals.
There are a few cosmetic issues that are very reasonable since the van is 15 years old. The paint on the raised roof is fading where the TV section is…this seems to be common issue. You can’t tell from walking around it, you need to be above the van to notice. In addition, there is some chipping on the painted ground effects panels from Explorer Vans, these are plastic or fiberglass, so I guess the paint does not hold up as well. Lastly, there are some cracks in the plastic panels inside the van that are attached to the doors. These panels hold the blinds. I guess the plastic gets brittle over time and as the doors are opened and closed they crack. They don’t rattle and the blinds work however. I believe that Explorer vans has parts for older models to repair/replace body parts, however I was not concerned.
The engine is the larger, optional 5.4 V8, I think it has about 285HP in 1999, runs great…smooth, strong pull. The interior is in very good shape, no tears, clean and operational. I never used the TV, however it turns on. My kids all used personal DVD players and tablets, so we didn’t need to use it.
I take very good care of my cars, I would have no hesitation in jumping in this tomorrow and driving it to California. The van was PA inspected…and passed of course, in April.
I am selling because I purchased a newer Navigator, my kids are getting older…..so I don’t have always have 5 kids traveling with me anymore.
I am asking 7, 250.00 for the Econoline, it’s a fair price, and you will know when you see it. I am open to close offers, however don’t bother calling me if you’re not going to be in the ball park.
Thanks for looking.
