> Thanks for your assistance in trying to find someone who can use my son's

> van. It is a 1998 GMC Safari with only 14,800 miles on it. It is

> equipped so that he could drive it without assistance, up until the time

> when his disability degenerated too far. It has a power operated side

> door with a wheelchair lift. Inside it has a power driver's seat so that

> a person in a wheelchair who is able to transfer sideways from their

> chair to a seat can move to the driver's chair and drive. It is equipped

> with hand controls to accommodate someone who does not have use of their

> legs. Because it does not have a raised roof/door, the clearance from the

> top of the lift platform to the bottom of the door opening is only 44

> inches. Inside the van the height is 49 inches. Dave just ducked his

> head to get in since his disability did not affect his neck flexibility,

> but this height limitation has been the biggest obstacle for most people

> looking at it so far. The driver's seat works just fine for a person

> without a disability -- it is a standard seat with the power controls

> added. All disability modifications were done through the GM dealer when

> we purchased it new. We still owe just under $11,000 to General Moters on

> it and that is what we would sell it for. They say that a 'qualified'

> buyer could take over the loan. Mechanically it is in excellent shape and

> I understand that the new car warranty could be transferred to a new

> owner. It does have cosmetic damage on the right side. It has a good

> sized scratch where he scraped a parked car, but the damage does not

> affect the operation of either the passenger door, the side door, or the

> lift. It has a front passenger seat and the inside rear of the car is

> open with a wood floor. Windows in the back but not the sides. It is a

> Virginia car but I drove it to Minneapolis this fall and that is where it

> is located. Color: white. V6 engine, rear wheel drive, air conditioning,

> and stereo cassette.
