For a lot of people, buying a vehicle, either new or used is a huge purchase. In fact, outside of buying a home, the second biggest purchase for the average American is the car. If you are starting the process of looking to buy a used conversion van, this will be a big purchase. But it will be much less expensive than buying a new one. Getting the best Deal If you want to get the best deal when buying used, here’s a piece of advice, don’t rush, take your time and properly research first. Sounds logical right? But you wouldn’t believe how many people shop impulsively and don’t do their “due diligence.” And, of course, this is a mistake for a number of reasons. Take a look at a few: Buying Mistakes you don’t Want to Make:
1. Potentially putting your safety at risk, (others too)
2. Potentially buying a van that doesn’t fit
3. Potentially buying a lemon All 3 problems are what you should most definitely avoid if you want to get the best deal. So avoid at all costs buying an unsafe handicap van. That includes one that isn’t road worthy and/or one without state of the art, approved conversion equipment. Also, avoid at all costs, buying a van that doesn’t fit you properly when seated in your wheelchair. And finally, avoid buying a used van that is a lemon. How to do this? To buy a used van that is road worthy and safe, start by working only with reputable dealerships. It’s also key to work with dealerships that specialize in conversion vehicles. Regular van dealers may mean well to try and help you, but because they don’t have experience with modifications and conversion equipment, they probably don’t know what they don’t know. So, start by working with a reputable van conversion dealership to help insure your safety both on the road and within the van. This same advice also relates to every other aspect of buying a used handicap van: work only with a reputable modification dealer! A good dealership should definitely have your best interests in mind and should be there to guide you in buying a vehicle that fits you correctly, has state of the art equipment and suits your lifestyle and physical challenges. What about Buying a Lemon? Not to be redundant here, but remember the old phrase, “if you lay with dogs you get fleas?” Well, you don’t want fleas and you certainly don’t want to buy a lemon. If you work with a reputable dealership (yes research is required) you shouldn’t buy a lemon. This means, you won’t be buying a handicap van with faulty workings both internally or externally.
