Paying For Wheelchair Vehicles For Sale

If you or someone close to you is in need of a wheelchair accessible vehicle, you may have realized that you  are unable to afford any that are currently for sale.As wheelchair vehicles for sale are highly expensive, it can be extremely difficult for a person or family in need to buy one, as they are often living off a disability pension. But there are other ways to make buying a wheelchair vehicle much easier:

 ·        Charity Grants: there are not for profit organizations out that that offer grants for wheelchair accessible vehicles to people who really need them. You may need to do a little research to find these organizations, but they can prove to be highly beneficial. If you have a common disability, such as multiple sclerosis, you can try looking for organizations specific to your situation.

·         Government Help: many local, state or federal governments will have programs set up that are designed to help people with disabilities achieve better standards of living, including the funding of wheelchair vans. Government help, however, is generally only given when the wheelchair vehicle is needed for a specific purpose, such as getting to school or getting a job.

·         Traditional Financing: if you have found a wheelchair vehicle for sale at a car dealership, you may be able to secure financing much like you would for any other car. This will, however, depend on your credit history and your ability to pay back the loan. Whilst common loans are only in place for 3 to 5 years, when buying a wheelchair accessible vehicle you may be able to get the time period extended.

Fundraisers: if you know someone that belongs to a social or community group, you may be able to get them to hold a fundraising event to provide funding for a wheelchair vehicle. There are many groups that would be willing to help, such as schools, churches and sporting clubs. They could hold a trivia night, dinner or a dance with all proceeds going to a wheelchair van for your family. 

If you or someone close to you is in desperate need of finding a wheelchair vehicle for sale but are going to struggle to pay for it, do not despair – there are other ways of securing financing. As wheelchair accessible vehicles are essential for improving your quality of life, many people are willing to help out.
