Just rip all the carpet and seats out, put a handicap van lift on it, cut out the fenders, and you have one of these but with almost 300hp, A/C, ABS, PW, PS, PL, PB, cruise, tilt, keyless, cd bluetooth radio, that goes 65mph down the highway getting almost 30 MPG.

Transportation can greatly increase shipping cost and therefore purchase price by thousands.
