You will want to buy reliable and trustworthy used wheelchair accessible vehicles that won’t let you down. Ask questions about the service history and find out how many miles the vehicle has done. It’s also worthwhile doing a bit of extra research to find out whether the vehicle in question has been recalled for any reason, if so, find out if the work has been completed. As well as asking the standard used car questions, it’s also a good idea to think about how the vehicle will work for you or your relative.
Find out how the wheelchair fits into the car, and how it is secured in place. Some WAVs (Wheelchair accessible vehicles) have the wheelchair behind the drivers, and some alongside. If you are buying the wheelchair vehicle from a main dealership, then it might be possible to get a warranty with it. The warranty would provide some peace of mind just in case you did experience any mechanical problems further down the line. It’s best if you take the person in the wheelchair with you as they may have their own questions that you didn’t even think about. Try putting the wheelchair in the vehicle before purchase to check suitability.
