If you are in the market for an accessible van that is able to accommodate your wheelchair, then you will quickly find that the vans are not cheap. However, this doesn't mean that you have to go without you can always choose to buy a used van instead. They are more affordable, even if they only have a few thousand miles on them.
You will be able to save money on the accessible vans that are a few years old, but they are still going to have the same benefits that you would expect from a newer vehicle. The vans will have safety features and lifts to help you get into and out of the van with ease. In some cases, you will be able to save several thousand dollars when you choose to buy a used vehicle. You might find that it is easier to get a loan for a used van because of the reduced price. However, you also have to factor in some of the other costs to make sure that you can afford it.
The maintenance of the vehicle is going to be a factor. Make sure that the dealer through which you buy your van is able to ensure that it has gone through an inspection and is in good working order. Still, you might find that you have more maintenance costs, simply because you will be changing the oil and getting tune-ups more frequently. These costs don't add up to too much, but there are other costs that you need to consider, including the insurance.
Think about the cost of gas as well. The vans, due to their size, are going to use more gas than a compact car. You may find that a newer vehicle is going to get better gas mileage, and this means that you could actually save on the cost of fuel. While this might not make too much of a difference, if you are going to be driving a lot, it can be a factor.
For most people, accessible vans that have been driven before are going to be a great deal. Saving thousands on the cost of the vehicle will usually more than make up for the other added costs of owning a used van. Just make sure that you think about all of these factors so you can make a good decision on your purchase.
