Have all your facts readily available. They will need to know door height, width, interior headroom, how to lock their wheelchair down, etc.
Marketing Your Handicap Van
Targeting your marketing efforts will be very important. You should choose reputable, well-known methods of advertising the vehicle. Seek out local organizations such as Multiple Sclerosis or ALS chapters in your area to connect with potential buyers.

It is important to know exactly what your vehicle is worth and how much you will be asking. Study the market and ask for assistance in determining the value of your vehicle. Ensure your pricing aligns with current market conditions.
Three Options for Selling Your Converted Van
Retail Sale: Maximize your chance to get the most for your vehicle by selling it yourself to a retail buyer. This option requires more effort in marketing and selling.
Consignment: A reputable mobility vehicle dealer may offer a consignment program, charging a commission of 5-15%. This saves time and effort.
Wholesale: A cash purchase by a dealer offers a quick transaction, often at a lower price than retail or consignment.
