We bought our 1995 chevy Astro mini van a bit over 3 years ago, it has a raised roof and back doors with a rear lift. It was modified by a lady and her sci husband--who had died from cancer. She gave us a great price of only $10,000 and it only had 40,000 actual miles on it. We had been praying for a nice one, so we were really blessed Dan**

Hi Mark,
What kind of van, did you decide to buy? I'm so sorry that the lock did not work for your chair. Is there any way it can be adapted for a new part ordered. It is really a drag that it takes a special one for each type of wheelchair. What a racket! I have easy lock, and it made such a difference in loading and unloading. you are right, they are in the way, but they seem safer, people would never get me tied d! own securely.I remember you were trying to decide about the smaller versus the regular van. How did you decide? It would be great if you could try both out. That is the question in my mind also, but usually the smaller seem to be more expensive, from what I can tell.What kind of vans do persons on the list have? Do they prefer the smaller or regular size and why? How many of you drive? can't Did you buy already modified? if you had done after you purchased what was the price for modifications.I bought a used van about five years ago, a Ford Econoline that was already modified. I had to raise the doors and add the easy lock. I had to renew my insurance last year, the guy I have gone to says, it would cost 14, 500 to modify a van like mine. I don't know if that is the normal price or not. I usually use my then until it gets ! too costly to repair. I have to replace the air-conditioning by summer. :-( I bought it from a former Royals player, Freddie Patek, whose daughter was a C1 quadriplegic. Is up it was exciting to me a baseball legend and his wife.
Is it more expensive to modify a minivan?Just wondering!DanaIn a message dated 4/3/2006 8:53:25 AM Tonga Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:![]()
