Differences | Used vs Pre-Owned Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles For Sale

Unlike traditional automobile dealers, mobility dealers have specialized terminology to identify the condition of wheelchair-accessible vehicles when advertising them for sale. While traditional dealerships use the term pre-owned and synonymously, those terms generally have two different meanings at a mobility dealership like Superior Van & Mobility. For additional buying tips, read this article.

Used Wheelchair-Accessible Vehicles For Sale:

In the world of mobility vehicles, a vehicle labeled as a “Used” wheelchair accessible vehicle for sale means that both the chassis and the conversion are used. The vehicle, when new, was converted into a handicap accessible vehicle, so the conversion is the same age as the vehicle’s chassis. Therefore, when a vehicle of this type is part of a mobility dealer’s inventory, this becomes a used wheelchair-accessible vehicle for sale. Some may also refer to this type of wheelchair-accessible van for sale as Used/Used.

WARRANTY INFO:

At Superior Van & Mobility, used wheelchair accessible vehicles for sale may or may not feature the remaining 3 year/36,000 mile bumper to bumper, manufacturer warranty based on their age, and mileage at the time of sale. The warranty for both the chassis and conversion are generally identical since the vehicle was converted when it was new.

NOTE:  Unlike other mobility dealers, you’ll find many used wheelchair-accessible vehicles for sale at Superior Van & Mobility feature our exclusive Limited-Lifetime Powertrain Warranty! It’s additional coverage we include on select used vehicles – “Just Look For The Logo.”

Pre-Owned Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles For Sale:

Unique to the mobility industry is pre-owned wheelchair-accessible vehicles for sale. When most mobility dealers list one of their handicap-accessible vehicles for sale as “Pre-Owned,” this means the chassis is used, but the wheelchair-accessible conversion itself is NEW. Sometimes, mobility dealers may refer to this type of vehicle for sale as a Used/New. However, at Superior Van & Mobility, you will hear us use the terminology, pre-owned wheelchair accessible vehicle for sale.

WARRANTY INFO:

At Superior Van & Mobility, pre-owned wheelchair-accessible vehicles for sale will have a slightly different warranty schedule depending upon the age and mileage of the chassis. The chassis will either feature the remaining 3 year/36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper manufacturer warranty or have none at all. However, the wheelchair-accessible conversion, being new, will always come with a full 3 year/36,000 mile warranty!

NOTE:  Unlike other mobility dealers, you’ll find that most of our pre-owned wheelchair vans for sale at Superior Van & Mobility feature our exclusive, Limited-Lifetime Powertrain Warranty! It’s the coverage we include on select pre-owned vehicles – “Just Look For The Logo“. CLICK HERE to learn more.

This offers the best opportunity to experience the many makes & models available and ensure the vehicle you ultimately purchase is the best fit for both your current and future needs. 

If you are unable to visit one of our mobility showrooms, we still have many ways to provide you with the best shopping experience. 1. VIRTUAL CONSULTATIONS – A virtual appointment allows us to communicate face-to-face with our customers and provide them with a visual experience as close to being in our showroom as possible. Many of our customers, especially those in rural areas, find this service very beneficial and adequate. 2. IN-HOME CONSULTATIONS – A mobility consultant can visit you in your home for those within our service area but unable to travel to our showroom. This is another great option to see a wheelchair-accessible vehicle in person and try it out for the perfect fit.
