Description
Up for sale is a 2012 Ford Transit Connect XLT cargo van. My wife acquired a business last year and this van was part of the package. This van isn't really well suited for the new business and was hardly driven since.Cosmetically, the van is in good, maybe 7/10 condition. There is no significant rust, though some very light surface rust. There is also a 3 or 4 inch dent in the rear upper corner of the body. Other than that, the paint is solid and there are no other major issues.
The interior is very nice with no weird smells or issues. This van is set up for cargo and has no windows in the rear doors and the interior is carpeted.
All the accessories work, the A/C blows cold and the heater warm. The radio works just fine.
The engine starts and drives fine, but has a stumble at idle that causes a P0301 or P0302 cylinder misfire check engine light. I did a usual tune-up on the engine, replacing the spark plugs, fuel injectors and ignition coils and that didn't fix the issue. Once driving, the engine feels fine and runs smooth, so the issue is only at idle. It's not terrible and the van drives without any other issues, but I wouldn't consider this something that can be ignored for the long term.
The transmission and shifter work with no issues and the four speed automatic feels great.
Brakes feel fine with no issues, though the TPMS tire pressure light is on. I imagine the batteries in one or more of the sensors went bad as the tires hold pressure just fine.
Drivability is really good and the van tracks like normal. I've used this van for the last few months to run errands and have never worried about driving it on city roads or the highway.
All in all, this isn't a perfect vehicle, but can be made a solid runner with just a bit of work.
Auction has no reserve, so high bid wins. Local buyers are welcome to inspect the van. Opening bid is a couple hundered below what Carvana offered, but who wants to sell to some soulless corporation? I've sold a few vehicles on ebay in the past.
The title is clean and clear and is registered in the name of my wife's business.
