Buying a used wheelchair accessible vehicle online can save you time and give you more options compared to traditional shopping. But before you make a big purchase like a pre-owned mobility van, it’s important to ask the right questions, especially when you can’t see the vehicle in person.
At EZmobility Direct, we want to help you feel confident when shopping online. Here are five questions to ask before buying a used mobility van from a website or private seller:
1. Was the Vehicle Converted by a Trusted Company?
Not every van with a ramp is made the same way. Make sure the vehicle was converted by a well-known manufacturer that follows safety rules. Ask who did the conversion, and if they are certified. A good conversion company will follow specific safety standards and provide paperwork to prove it.
2. Can I See the Vehicle’s History?
When buying a used vehicle online, it’s important to know its past. EZmobility Direct provides a full vehicle history report through iPacket, so you can see information like past ownership, accident history, and maintenance records. Knowing the vehicle’s background helps you make a safe and confident decision.
3. Can I See Photos or Videos of the Vehicle in Action?
When shopping online, pictures are important. Ask for clear photos of the inside and outside of the vehicle. Even better, ask for a video that shows the ramp working and how someone would enter and exit the vehicle. This helps you see the true condition and how it will work for your needs.
4. Does It Come with a Warranty?
Before you buy, ask if the vehicle comes with a warranty. Some online sellers, like EZmobility Direct, offer limited warranties and helpful support. That means if something goes wrong soon after you buy it, you may be covered. Always read the fine print and ask questions.
5. Will It Work for My Daily Life?
Think about how you’ll use the vehicle every day. Will you be driving or riding as a passenger? Do you need a side-entry or rear-entry ramp? Will your wheelchair fit inside? Ask for measurements and talk to a mobility expert if you’re not sure. Some dealers can even do a video chat to walk you through everything.
Buying a used accessible vehicle online can be a great choice as long as you know what to look for. At EZmobility Direct, we’re here to answer your questions and make the process easy and stress-free. From virtual tours to delivery right to your door, we’re ready to help.
