There is no doubt about it; purchasing a mobility vehicle is an enormous expense. This is not a purchase that you can take lightly, even if you have been saving for a mobility vehicle for quite some time. There are often financing terms in place to make the purchase as easy as possible for you, but there are other things you can consider to lower the price of a new wheelchair van, which will in turn lower the strain on your financial situation.
Once you have decided the type of mobility vehicle you really want, you should look to see if you can find a used wheelchair van of similar style. As with any used vehicle purchase, a used wheelchair van can offer you the opportunity to save a great deal of money on a van that is probably just as beautiful and well appointed as any of the vans on the new lot. When you purchase a used wheelchair van with extended financing, you could find yourself with truly affordable monthly payments.
You will also need to consider all of the different features and accessories that you want with your new vehicle. While many mobility vehicles come equipped already, a used wheelchair van might not have exactly what you're looking for. You may find that you will need to purchase additional equipment before you can use your new car. The equipment can also be quite expensive, but again, there is no need for this to be a deal breaker. If you find that you need to install ramps or transfer seats that are outside your price range, you should consider purchasing used equipment.
As with a used wheelchair van, you can be certain that any used ramps or transfer seats that you purchase will be completely refurbished and maintained before you can have it installed in your vehicle. This is just one more way that you can save quite a lot of money on the purchase of a vehicle. When you consider a used vehicle with extended financing terms, used equipment inside the vehicle, and perhaps even used accessories, you will start to see the savings really add up. You can also consider manual versions of the equipment you need, which will also cost less than new, powered versions. If all else fails and you still just can't afford to purchase a mobility vehicle, then leasing may be best for you.
