What can you expect from used handicap vans? It really depends on the source. Obviously a second-hand car lot is not going to give you a lot of confidence when it comes to reliable vehicles. However, a mobility dealership is a source you can trust. In fact, mobility dealerships cannot legally sell any mobility van that has not been thoroughly tested and shown to be 100% functional. Not only are there lemon laws in almost every state, but there are special requirements that mobility dealerships must meet, if they want the law on their side, if they want the respect of the industry, and if they want to work with the top conversion producers in the world.
This is why you should seriously consider buying used handicap vans if you cannot afford to buy or lease a new van. What a step down, right? A used van when you really want a new van! Actually, you may be surprised to know that many of the vans from the 2008, 2005 and 2000 years are actually just as full-featured and convenient as the newer models. A used Dodge Caravan (converted) usually comes with either a power folding ramp or a lift. They also offer such extras as automatic windows, leather seats, removable seats, an MP3 radio, cruise control, overhead neon lights, overhead storage bins, a rear window defroster and wiper, satellite ready radio, Tri Zone Climate Control and tinted windows.
Yes, all of these luxuries for a van from 2008four years ago! Who cares if these vehicles are used if handicap vans are this functionaland not to mention thousands of dollars less! Not only can you buy these vans for cash (sometimes as low as $10,000) but you can also lease them for a slightly higher price. Yes, you could probably make a deal for a pre-owned or used van for just a few hundred a month, just as if you were paying for a used car.
Dont let fear of the unknown stop you. You have nothing to losein fact, the mobility dealership you apply at may even point you to extra incentives you didnt know you had. When you finance, you dont actually finance in house. You finance from a trusted third party company, someone the dealership knows practices fair economics. This way, everyone is protected. There are many disabled motorists today who actually lease used handicap vans based on Social Security income!
Why not come down to your local mobility dealership and see whats available?
