Note: Vehicle Purchases
If you are thinking about buying a vehicle, you should be aware that several manufacturers pay for equipping their cars for use by persons who are disabled. For example, General Motors (GM) will reimburse up to $1,000. Ford and Chrysler also have programs.
Unfortunately the dealer may not tell you about the deal. You have to ask! If the sales person lacks knowledge of the program, insist on contacting the manufacturer. Better still, you call the manufacturer. For more information, telephone;
