I am a disabled man of 48. I cannot walk and use a power chair to get
around. The problem is that I use a powered wheelchair lift/carrier that is
basically "hanging" off the trailer hitch of my Chevy Blazer and I am
starting to have problems with the combination. My wife and I went to a
place that sells wheelchair acessible vans and minvans and we found several
that we like and would meet our needs perfectly, but the cost is enormous.
We found that we could afford the financing and payments, but we could not
get the financig for the vehicle we finally chose, a 2007 Buick with lowered
floor and slide out under the floor type ramp. An agency up around Carson
City will assist in getting financing for up to $20,000.00 but these
vehicles typacally run anywhere from 30K to 50K, the Buick sells for 48K and
the payment would be around $600.00/month. Does anybody know where I can
get assistance in financing a good reliable wheelchair accessible minvan? I
need to get something soon, or I will end up not being able to transport
myself to my job and ulrimately lose my decently paying job.

You might see if your State has a Department of
Vocational Rehabilitation. They may be able to assist you in getting the
right financing - worth a shot.
