The cost of the new Moville ambulance, a 2017 Chevrolet Arrow C4500, is $135,000, and will arrive by January. It is not a remotely a situation of the current one being a clunker about to fall apart, said Moville Ambulance official Jeff Crick, who has done a lot of maintenance work on the existing ambulance.
The current Moville ambulance is about seven years old and approaching 30,000 miles. Crick said the time is right for a new one, since trading at the right time is imperative, before the existing unit gets too beaten up and the value falls below the $65,000 in which he anticipates selling it.
