Financing a Wheelchair Accessible Van

Financing a Wheelchair Accessible Van
 
 One of the hardest parts of purchasing a new or used wheelchair accessible vehicle is trying to figure out what fits in your budget and whether or not you are able to afford the van or vehicle you want and need. At VMI Mobility Center, we understand the stress that can come with bringing a new investment into your budget. We work with nationwide as well as local Arizona-based resources, so if you are in need of a little financial assistance when making your purchase, our professional and highly skilled staff is here to help.

Not only do we offer great financing options, but the fact that you can choose from new or used handicap vans makes it that much easier. A used van may not have all the latest bells and whistles, but it is more affordable and you can add on accessories if necessary. Buying a used accessible van gives you a little extra flexibility if you’re not sure how it is going to affect your budget.

We also offer a variety of disability programs for handicapped veterans who are looking into purchasing one of our products. The Veterans Administration (VA) is the most notable and widely recognized. It provides many avenues to find the right product at the right price. All you have to do is contact your local VA office for details, and we will work with them to help customize your wheelchair accessible van or mobility equipment purchase so that it perfectly fits in your budget and gives you the mobility and independence you need.

Choosing a New or Used Wheelchair Accessible Van

Choosing a New or Used Wheelchair Accessible Van


If you’re shopping for a wheelchair accessible vehicle, you may feel overwhelmed at the choices and options available. The good thing about this is that our wide selection at VMI New England Mobility Center: Automotive Innovations offers both new and used wheelchair vans, and each one comes equipped with a variety of unique mobility features that are designed to enhance your quality of life and improve your mobility. If you’re wondering whether a new or used vehicle is the best option for you, there are a few things to consider when making the decision.

There are benefits of both new and used vans, it just depends on the details of what you want as well as your budget. New vans have the most advanced equipment available on the market, and have excellent warranty and financing options. Obviously a new wheelchair van will also last longer than a used van, but the price is going to reflect that.

However, a new wheelchair van may also come with options you don’t need, so if you’re not having any luck finding something that is right for you, a used wheelchair van may have a simpler variety of options, whether a disabled person will be driving the vehicle or not. If a disabled person will be driving the vehicle, hand controls might be a good option. If not, there isn’t much need for those.

Once you have narrowed down the options you need, look through used wheelchair vans first. You may come to realize that it includes everything you need, has very low mileage on it, and comes with a much better price tag that fits right into your budget. An official evaluator will be able to help you determine exactly what you need, so if you have everything in order, contact one of our talented professionals today to find out what kind of wheelchair accessible van will improve your mobility.

VMI joins 2013 national mobility awareness month

VMI joins 2013 national mobility awareness month
 
VMI, a leader in the manufacturing and distribution of wheelchair accessible, full-size and minivan conversions, is proud to announce its sponsorship of the 2013 National Mobility Awareness Month. Championed by the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA), the program was established to educate seniors, veterans, caregivers and people with disabilities about adaptive mobility options to enable them to live a more active and mobile lifestyle. VMI, along with SanTan Honda of Chandler, Ariz., is donating a 2013 Honda Odyssey with VMINorthstar conversion for the program’s online, Local Heroes contest.

“VMI believes strongly in supporting the ideals driving National Mobility Awareness Month,” said Doug Eaton, president of VMI. “In its first year, the campaign experienced an overwhelming response to the Local Heroes contest. People from across the U.S. and Canada shared inspiring stories of individuals triumphing over mobility challenges. Upon arriving at three finalists, we had the pleasure of awarding our 25thAnniversary Limited Edition Honda Odyssey to Ken and Missy Davert. Their family touched our VMI family and we’re honored to participate in the program again.”

The Honda Odyssey continues to be one of the most popular vehicles on the market. The 2013 Honda Odyssey with VMI Northstar conversion will be customized to the needs of the contest winner; however, the standard vehicle features are:
  • Maximum interior space for wheelchair maneuverability
  • Wider, usable accessible ramp surface with an ultra-low, 8.0 degree accessible ramp angle
  • Easily accessible interior buttons, handles and switches
  • Full use of front passenger seat
  • Sure Deploy backup system allows users to stow or deploy the mobility ramp van conversion even in the event of a power failure; a manual backup system is available for additional peace of mind
“VMI is a valued NMEDA member and we’re excited they have returned as a National Mobility Awareness Month sponsor,” said Dave Hubbard, NMEDA executive director and CEO. “With VMI’s passion for this program, it will help elevate the automotive mobility consciousness and pave the way to more active lifestyles for people with disabilities – including one lucky family who will win their Honda Odyssey conversion.”

The beautiful Davert family


“It was almost one year ago that our family entered the National Mobility Awareness Month Local Heroes contest,” said Missy Davert, inaugural winner. “In just a few short months later, we learned we won our beautiful wheelchair accessible van, which we’ve lovingly coined, ‘White Lightening.’ We’re very grateful to have received this blessing, as it has made such a positive difference in our lives. As a family of four, with three of us in wheelchairs, we can accomplish so much more in a day, so much easier and so much more comfortably than ever before.”
