Buying Used Wheelchair Vans

Many customers buy used wheelchair vans and mobility products because their budgets don’t allow for the purchase of brand new vehicles. Other people are anticipating either a low-use or shorter term need, which lets them be more accepting of a vehicle that has some age and/or miles on it. The range of used accessible vans is broad.

At the bottom of the scale are vehicles with heavy mileage and therefore lower prices. At the top of the scale are vehicles with extremely low miles and minimal use/wear. We even have a category of wheelchair accessible minivans that we refer to as “new-used.” The term “new-used” refers to a new conversion that has been added to a slightly used wheelchair minivan.

When you’re buying a used wheelchair van, the more flexible you are, the more likely we’ll be able to find a wheelchair van for you. If you’re open-minded about mileage, color, and seating arrangements, we’re more likely to find a used handicap van to fit your specific needs and price range. Also, being ready to move quickly when the right van comes along, having your financing lined up, and being prepared to buy when the moment is right are all attributes that will work in your favor.

Be sure to do your homework. Take a used full-size wheelchair van or minivan to a trusted mechanic and run a Carfax report (or ask us for one free of charge) to be sure that there are no hidden surprises. For many vehicles, aftermarket service contracts are available that can help you manage your repair costs and give you additional peace of mind with your used wheelchair van purchase.
