You seem to have had a lot of new parts put in, for a two year old vehicle. The reason I mention it is because I'm looking at the transit, here in the states. They only just started offering them.

I may wait till next year,, they are to make it a totally electric vehicle which might work for me since I seldom put a hundred miles on in a day,,, that is supposed to be their range.

Obviously I won't be buying your's, as I could never afford to ship it. I was hoping to get your view of the vehicle as a daily driver,, plus I figured I'd keep it on the new post list another day.

Hello
No this is a 13 year old transit,

Sorry Geoff,, I missed the first line and only remembered the line where you said you bought it in 2007.

How was it for you? The size looks good to me. Did the floor need to be lowered or the roof raised? It seems, from looking that neither would be necessary.

Hope you sell it soon,,, and I hope that your health problems improve, too.

Hello
I am selling it for a medical/health problem ,
my medical/health problem is,
I am 6 foot 2" tall and my eye level is at bottom the sunvisor/top of the windscreen so I have to keep bending my neck (I am C7 SCI since 1965 also I am 67 years old,sob sob,to cry )to see out the windscreen properly,
I have even lowered my wheelchair,
if I could transfer from the wheelchair on to the drivers seat and back this would solve my problem but the controls are in the way,
I have spoken to several van converters and the only way is to lower the floor at the price of about $1,500 or buy a Mercedes Sprinter whitch has a bigger windscreen,
next Thursday I will put it on Ebay UK and you my be able to see it,
Geoff.
