Benefits of purchasing a WAV From a dealer

When you’re in the market for a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, it’s important to weigh all of your options carefully. While private sellers are always an option, one avenue that you may not have considered is purchasing from a specialist dealer. While there are many private sellers of WAVs or car dealerships who can work with WAVs as part of their larger business, specialist dealerships offer several benefits that may be important to you.

In this blog, we’ll discuss some of the key benefits of purchasing a WAV from a dealer.



Dealerships have a wider variety of wheelchair-accessible vehicles available

One of the biggest benefits of purchasing a wheelchair-accessible vehicle from a dealership is that you have access to a wider variety of vehicles. This is important because not all WAVs are created equal – there is a wide range of features and options available, and you may find one that fits your needs perfectly. Specialist dealerships have access to a wider variety of manufacturers, as well as many more used vehicles than private sellers. This means that you are far more likely to find the perfect WAV for your needs at a dealership than you are anywhere else.

Dealerships have experienced and knowledgeable sales staff

When it comes to wheelchair-accessible vehicles, it’s important to work with someone who knows what they’re doing. Buying a WAV can be a big investment, and you want to make sure that you are getting the right vehicle for your needs. Specialist dealerships have experienced and knowledgeable sales staff who can help you find the perfect WAV for your needs. They will ask you about your needs and preferences and will work with you to find a vehicle that meets your needs both functionally and financially.


Dealerships offer long-term care and help

When you purchase a wheelchair-accessible vehicle from a dealership, you’re not just getting a car – you’re getting access to long-term care and help as well. Specialist dealerships have dedicated service departments that can help you with any issues that may arise with your vehicle. They also offer long-term financing options, which can be helpful if you plan to keep your WAV for a long time. Buying from a specialist dealership is the best way to ensure that you get the care and support you need when you need it.


What to consider when choosing a WAV from a dealership

There are many factors to consider when choosing a wheelchair-accessible vehicle from a dealership. Some of the most important include:

  • The type of vehicle that you need
  • The budget that you have available
  • Your needs and preferences regarding features and options
  • The experience and knowledge of the sales staff
  • The service department’s reputation
  • The financing options available

By considering all of these factors, you can be sure that you are making the best decision for your needs. Purchasing a wheelchair-accessible vehicle from a dealership is the best way to get the vehicle that you need.


Should I buy a second-hand WAV or a new one?

When it comes to wheelchair-accessible vehicles, there are pros and cons to both buying a new one or a second-hand one. Luckily, if you’re buying from a dealership, you’ll have the advantage of an experienced, specialist team that can help you to find the right solution for your needs, budget, and style requirements!

New WAVs come with the benefit of being covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, which can be helpful if something goes wrong with your vehicle. They also tend to have more features and options than second-hand vehicles as they will usually be up-to-date models or factory models of the vehicle in question – so if you want the latest tech or the cutting-edge of car design, you’ll probably want to go new.

On the other hand, second-hand WAVs can be a more affordable option, and you may find one that is perfect for your needs. It’s important to remember that second-hand WAVs may not come with a warranty, so it is important to do your research before buying one.

When deciding on whether to buy a new or second-hand WAV, it is important to consider your needs and budget. Talk to the sales staff at the dealership and get their advice – they will be able to help you make the best decision for your needs.

If you are in the market for a WAV, we recommend that you consider all your options, and take a look at what specialist dealerships have to offer. You may be surprised at how much they can help you get the right vehicle for your needs.
