A Reliable Brand for Reliable Conversion Vans

The Chrysler Corporation has proven itself time and time again since it’s founding in 1925. The Chrysler reputation of manufacturing well-engineered vehicles has only improved with the addition of Dodge, Desoto and Plymouth to their team. Since their merger, Chrysler and Daimler-Benz have stood as the third largest automobile company in the United States. With such a strong foundation, it is easy to see how the Town and Country, the Chrysler vehicle that can be adapted for wheelchair accessibility, is just as reliable.

Models Typically in Our Inventory

Consumers today want to be able to see, touch and drive wheelchair vans in order to make the best decision. Once they make a decision, people want to take delivery as soon as possible. To help with this, VCI Mobility stocks a wide variety of Chrysler Town and Country vehicles in the most popular models, colors and option packages.

Of the three models available from Chrysler, the LX, Touring and Limited, the Touring is the most popular across the board. Many budget conscious consumers still prefer the lower priced LX model for their wheelchair van but more prefer the better-appointed Touring.

The Chrysler Town & Country is always in our inventory

The buying decision is typically based on the fact that our customers have their wheelchair vans longer than the average auto consumer. For this reason, they want to make sure that they have the features and comforts they appreciate. Very often, wheelchair van buyers find that the price difference between the Touring and the LX is overcome by the generous increase in standard options.

We also keep popular colors in stock that are going to appeal to a broad spectrum of customers. However, with special orders and inventory that resides with our manufacturers, we can usually get additional option packages and/or colors in-stock very quickly.
