| My wife and I are looking at a new Ford E-150 conversion van. We are told that the Explorer brand of conversion packages are a lower end quality and " to get a quality package you need to look at or consider a Sherrod or L.A.West package". Any feedback would be appreciated !! | |
| Have a brand new 1997 extended length Dodge Ram conversion . It is a Mark III SE conversion model. So far I love this vehicle . Have the 318 V8 and 4 speed auto and it's loaded up with everything I need . got a great deal on this leftover brand new 1997 . Paid a little over $18400 before we traded our 1992 Taurus in on it . You can get some real good deals on dodges if you look around . I have seen some 1998 versions for around $18K but these are the more base short wheelbase model with the V6 engine and the 3 speed . But if you need room and have to tow something , (ours will tow 7000 lbs) and you don't mind paying a little more for gas (they are "NOT" gas misers) these can't be beat . | |

I am a paralyzed driver looking at conversion vans for the first time. I know 1 thing, I want a Ford. I looked at a new 98 Econoline Midwest package last night and was given a price of 23,600 not including tax. This price also reflects a $1,500 rebate, a $500 loyalty rebate, and a $750 mobility rebate. Is this a good deal or should I try for a lower one? Also, is this a good model van to purchase? I'm not too familiar with the different models that are available. Can someone help me? Thanks, Jtrench

jtrench, I bought a '97 Ford/Coachmen Countess the 1st of this year. Cost was 21,870. plus sales tax and title. The van is equipped with the 4.6 L Triton V8. I like the van a lot. Handling is good. Coachmen's package includes sound proofing resulting in a passenger car quiet ride. My only disappointment is the fuel efficiency. It was rated at 15 & 20 and, given my prior experience with vans, I was expecting that I would probably get about 17 mpg in my everyday driving. My previous van was a '95 Chevy with the 5.7 L V8 that averaged about 15 to 15.5 mpg. As I recall, the rating on that van was 12 & 15. The Ford is averaging 15.5 to 15.8 I'm afraid I can't provide any insite on Midwest Van Conversions. Jerry |
