Choosing a van for transportation is a very serious and personal journey. Mistakes are often make when FAD overtakes FASHION. Knowing exactly what your needs are, is most important when deciding on purchasing any van for transport... or driving. "But I want a minivan" is something I hear all the time from people who I know will have nothing but problems and won't listen to reason. It might be the size of the chair or the size of the individual or the combo of both, plus the person's ability to move, transfer and drive by themselves. A professional evaluation is a good start when looking for the perfect van. Based on what they say is a good place to start. Trial and Error is an expensive way to determine the best transportation and not an option to most. Just as some woman can't walk in "high heels" and some guys can't dunk a basketball, one has to realize their personal limitations, otherwise, that person continues to make the same mistake, over and over again. Also, realize the limitations of any vehicle you decide to purchase. Who will work on it? Who will do the repairs. Where will I get parts for repairs? How long will I have to wait? Word of mouth may answer some of these questions. Learn from other's mistakes. And when you finally do get the van of choice, enjoy it.
