Tips for Purchasing a Mobility Van
- Check
prices on eBay for your area. THEN shop and see the vans for yourself.
- Shop
multiple mobility shores. Use phone books, the Internet, and referrals.
- Check
the knowledge, quality, and turnover rate of the conversion shop’s
employees.
- Be
sure the van will not tilt when the lift comes out. Many vans tilt with
lifts.
- Avoid
lifts that require backing out of the van with the lift. It’s too scary.
- Be
sure the van can hold everything you need.
- When
purchasing, plan a backup strategy for when the van needs repair.
