Used Ford Transit Connect for Sale in Chicago, IL

We purchased this transit connect XL, LWB to be used as a mobile advertising for our company and also for deliveries. We are in the signs and printing industry, so we don't need a lot of space. I think this vehicle is overpriced, the msrp was around $ 24k but we got it for around $ 20k, it looks as a great deal but i think the price is high anyway for what you get. Finally we have a small commercial van in the USA that looks nice, the design is beautiful except the front grill, the front grill, is HORRIBLE!!!!!!!, Acceleration is poor and no stability in speeds + 60 mp/h, This is not a mustang but the price is almost the same as the mustang base model, that's why i think is overpriced compared to vans such as the new and beautiful Kia Sedona for just $ 26k. A friend of mine also purchased this vehicle but the 7 passenger version, space is limited and seats are small, cheap quality interior and uncomfortable. The gas tank is too small, i have to pump 2 or 3 times a week, MPG is fine. I don't know why for people in the states manufacturers offer the worst, this same vehicle in UK is offered with the space cargo divider, something that looks nice and is crucial for security reasons, they don't offer original accessories neither as an option, we are obligated to buy low quality third parties accessories. Also this vehicle in EU has more options as third seat and better interior design with more room to accommodate little things, when i get into the vehicle i don't know where to put my cell, Folders or documents (top shelve is useless, do not have a front net to avoid things to run away in a curve), In the space between the back of the seat and the cargo area i put some documents, a pen and disappeared because i didn't realize there is a big open space there under the cargo area but is impossible to reach my lost documents.

I purchased a Transit Connect Titanium Long Wheelbase. I purchased new in South Carolina and drove it to AZ. No regular minivan drives like a car as this vehicle. It handles great, 29 MPG on highway, the Titanium model has all the toys, Navigation, heated seats, leather, power seat, power folding mirrors etc. This vehicle is so poorly advertised by Ford as it is primary audience for sales is Commercial however it is a great designed vehicle. The seats although a bit tricky to fold the first couple of times fold completely flat. I've hauled furniture in this vehicle and mine has a tow package which tows small trailers with no effort. Anyone considering a minivan that does not want to pay 35-40k should consider this vehicle. Get the Titanium and not any model lower if you want the features of other vans. You wont get power slider doors or video entertainment for the rear passengers but you will get a incredible vehicle in all other aspects and you will soon forget once behind the wheel that you are not driving a sedan. Ford really needs to market this vehicle more mainstream because unlike the prior generation Transit Connect this one is a totally different vehicle. Forget the negative reviews for the cargo versions...you get what you pay for and a cargo van is a empty box! Check the Titanium model out and you will get a 7 passenger vehicle with the capacity to haul anything you want. If you shop a bit you will also get one loaded for 25-27k!

When I heard Ford was bring the Transit to the US I was really excited, it was just the vehicle that would work for the family and my husbands small business... The first few days were great, then my husband notice a small vibration when the driven for the first mile each morning, driving at nights the head lights made it so hard to see that it made it difficult to drive a night. Took it to the dealer who was basically rude to both of us fixed the lights but told us the vibration was our imagination. The vibration got worse, and started making a thump when making a turn, and there were problems with the mirrors not folding out when on locking the door, took it back to the dealer and at first was told they were able to reproduce the issue and would fix then when we went to pick up the vehicle we were again told it was our imagination, and as to the mirrors not folding out that was the way it was suppose to work and we should "know our own vehicle" what ever that means. Finally today tired of all the little problems with the vehicle - plastic around passage seat broke, stupid whole under driver seat that catches everything that is dropped on the back passage seat floor with no way to get it, radio not going off when closing drivers door, interior lights not coming on, cracked windshield, the constant beeping the vehicle does when your driving and its snowing, and oh lets not forget the vibration in the mornings. We took it to the dealership which we could get into for two weeks, to only have the service guy laugh and send my husband on his way the warranty has expired. Really Ford can guarantee the transmission for 60000 miles but can't guarantee a simple plastic piece won't break after 36000 miles. What a rip off. Going back to the dealer tomorrow after talking to the Sales Manager at the dealership, not holding my breath.
