Choosing from Used Handicap Vans Dealers Wisely

Article Category: Automotive

Author Name: Mobility Classifieds

Handicap vans or mobility vans are vehicles, which are converted to be comfortable for handicapped passengers and drivers. Certain features like extended vertical space (distance from roof to vehicle floor ), rear scooter lifts, robotic chairs and wheelchair lifts are important accessories of mobility vans. However, if you will have them installed on a regular van, you will have to spend at least $15,000 just on the basic features. You can save a lot of money if you can choose wisely from used handicap vans.

Things to Consider

What is your purpose in buying a mobility van? If it is for family use, with just one wheelchair user, a mini sized van is recommended. Usually, smaller vans are equipped with portable ramps for the side entry and a scooter lift on the rear. The wheelchair user traverses the ramp to get inside while extra mobility devices can be carried by the scooter lift. If you intend to use the vehicle for multiple wheelchair passengers, or for commercial purposes, you might need a full sized van.

In checking the used handicap vans, for both large and mini models alike, you must begin on the vehicle's condition. Do not just take the word of the dealer on the estimated remaining lifetime of the vehicle. Check the physical appearance and, more importantly, the mileage of the van. Next, you must inspect the mechanical parts, particularly the lifts that carry the wheelchair and the seated passenger together. Check for squeaking sounds during operation. Also, check if the locking and safety systems are all functional.

Take your time weighing which package will get you the most value out of your money. For example, you may opt to buy an ordinary used van. Then, you can hire mobility services to perform modifications and install lifts for the handicapped. As for a full sized van, you can extend the gap between the roof and the floor to have a more comfortable space. If you want to install all of these, the cost can reach $16000.

NMEDA Certification

It is advised to research on your dealer before closing a deal. Word of mouth from friends and previous buyers can help a lot. Look for reviews and customers' comments on the internet. Do not be easily attracted to perks, bonuses and seemingly pleasant payment conditions. To be sure that the used handicap vans are in good condition, look for the certification from NMEDA. The National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association is a non-profit groups that promotes reliable vehicles and safe accessibility of vehicles for all people, especially the handicapped.

Developments in Technology and Safety

The latest technology is often sacrificed when people buy used handicap vans. New features are being developed almost every day. For example, robotic mechanisms and GPS aided driving and navigation are now available on high-end vehicles. But, you should not fret. If you are critical in evaluating the terms of your purchase, you can get the best value for your money. Remember that what matters most is to have a comfortable travel for you and your handicapped loved-ones.
