Description
Overview: This 2017 Ford Transit Connect Cargo Van is a well-maintained vehicle used primarily for light electrical fixture installations. It has never carried passengers and has been kept in good working order for daily professional use.
Equipment and Upgrades: Fully equipped for trades with 4 brand new tires, a roof rack, a Ranger partition separating the cabin from the cargo area, and a tow hitch used for a portable vise. It also features Slick Lock brackets on the side and rear doors for enhanced security.
Maintenance History: Recent maintenance includes a new battery, spark plugs, engine oil, cabin/air filters, and transmission fluid. The van features a backup camera, Bluetooth, and the SYNC sound system while maintaining an efficient 21+ MPG.
Note to Buyers: This vehicle has a salvage title in hand and 140,000 miles. Serious buyers are encouraged to inspect the vehicle in person in North Hills before discussing final pricing.
Market Highlights
- The Scarcity Premium: Since Ford discontinued the Transit Connect in the US after 2023, these compact vans have seen a surge in demand in urban markets like Los Angeles. Their ability to navigate tight parking while offering significant cargo space makes them highly desirable for small businesses.
- Southern California Utility: In North Hills and the surrounding San Fernando Valley, rust-free work vans are considered premium assets. The addition of professional-grade partitions and security locks adds immediate value to a buyer who would otherwise spend thousands on parts and labor for an empty van.
- Salvage Title Reality: While a salvage title significantly reduces the financing and resale value, it offers a 'sweat equity' opportunity for cash-buying contractors. In the 2026 market, utility often trumps title status for pure work vehicles, though the current asking price exceeds typical market thresholds for branded titles.
