Questions and advice on accessible mini-vans

[Guest guest]

Hi there,

I am in the process of purchasing a new van. I was wondering your

opinion on drop-floor mini-vans? Do they bottom out? And does it cause

damage? I live in an innercity area and worry about it bottoming out

when going in and out of parking lots. If it bottms out, what does it

hit? And does it damage the undercarriage and paint? Also, what is the

best way to save money on purchasing, buying used at a dealership,

direct from the conversion company, or searching used online? does

anyone know of any funding sources to help offset the cost? Thanks in

advance for any help.
