Wheelchair bus | Call 516-333-7483 | 2010 Chevrolet Express C4500 Shuttle Bus 24 Seats For Sale

 Buses all over the world are box shaped vehicles. They ferry thousands of people to and from various locations. But it's the seniors, handicapped and disabled people who do not get the opportunity to travel in a bus. Seniors have difficulty with mobility and cannot climb its high stairs. Whereas people bound by wheelchairs cannot get inside along with their chairs. It would be too dangerous and discomforting to lift a disabled person into a bus. Even if it's done then traveling long routes would prove to be a nightmare. Because buses are usually not designed for comforting the disabled. 


The increasing number of seniors in the United States increased the demand. For vehicles equipped with wheelchair lifts. These lifts are fully automated that can lift weights up to 800 lbs and can easily transport elderly and disabled passengers along with their equipment inside and outside at the press of a button. Such a bus is termed as a wheelchair bus. These vehicles are especially designed to accommodate passengers with wheelchairs. For example they have folding seats so the number of healthy and wheelchair passengers can be adjusted as per the situation. When the healthy adults are more the flip seats can be unfolded and when the disabled passengers are more the seats can be folded and tucked to the side walls of the bus to make space for the passenger along with their wheelchairs. They also have automatic restraints to prevent the wheelchairs from hurtling all over in the passenger cabin during reflex traffic maneuvers or when applying emergency brakes. This ensures the safety of the disabled passengers and those seated around them. One will never find such facilities in a normal bus. The difference is more than obvious. As a result the wheelchair bus will cost more compared to a normal. The price difference can be as high as $5,000 when buying a brand new bus for sale. However, the price difference between the two types is negligible when buying in the used bus market. Even the driver needs special training to operate a wheelchair bus. Many times drivers forget that the lift is deployed and they tend to start the vehicle, thus hitting the lift with something that either damages it or deforms its physical structure. These minor accidents are encountered way too often if the driver was previously driving a bus without a wheelchair lift. The new driver needs the time to learn and adjust to the operational demands of his new vehicle.


Used buses for sale are roughly 60% cheaper than a new bus. They have already gone though the rapid depreciation phase that a new bus is subjected to in the first year of hitting the road. As a result the depreciation process is much slower in a used bus. Buyers always get what they pay for with a used bus. Though a second hand bus might be functionally defective because of the wear and tear it had been subjected to by the previous owner. Buyers get a really good deal when they purchase the vehicle from a licensed and bonded used bus dealership. Because the dealers fully recondition them from bumper to bumper to give them a new appearance as well as a fresh life. On the other hand if the motor coach is being purchased from private individuals then the buyer will either have to fix the defect himself or ask the seller to fix it up before buying. Buyers also need to have a trusted bus repair shop in sight to get the bus repaired if the seller refuses to fix it. Unfortunately bus repair shops are not located everywhere. Most buyers just want to ride the wheelchair bus and not get bogged down about fixing the vehicle. Thus, its advisable to make the right decision at the start of the buying process and get involved with a dealership that will also stand by the owners throughout the bus ownership process.

Major Vehicle Exchange has been selling its wheelchair buses to customers across the USA for more than 35 years. We know our buyers and the various industries they come from and we know exactly what customers are looking for.

Used buses for sale | 516-333-7483 | Why used buses are ideal for big families ??


Buses are vehicles that're used to transport large groups of people. From point A to point B. These points can be either located within the same city or in different cities. Minibusses are vehicles that are bigger than a taxi and smaller than a regular coach bus. A small bus can carry 9 to 15 passengers are a time. So if you have a family that has several members, it qualifies to be a large family. When going for a family outing. You will have to hire several taxis which are expensive and inconvenient. If you have a family with 12 members then you will have to hire 3 taxis. The possibility is high that all 3 taxis will lose contact on highways due to heavy traffic. One may reach its destination sooner and the others may reach later. This will cause a delay in starting the event that your family was bound to visit. Moreover, children will not be able to enjoy the journey. Since they have'en separated from each other. The same goes for your pets.

How would it be, if you had your short bus to transport your family of 12 members?? If your family has a disabled member. Then you can opt for short buses that're equipped with wheelchair lifts. These small buses can accommodate up to 2 wheelchair positions. They have 3 to 5 double flip seats. Hence the passenger seating and wheelchair accommodation gets adjusted as per requirements. These buses are ideal for family transportation. Even for large groups of individual persons.



But you may think that new buses for sale are expensive. So how can a three taxi ride be expensive?? You are right in your calculations. New buses are expensive and they depreciate up to 1/3rd of their value. This depreciation is in the first year irrespective of the mileage traveled. New buses for sale can cost anywhere between $50,000 to $100,000. Depending on the vehicle's size and seating capacity. The price also depends on the type of engine. Whether it is diesel or gasoline. A new bus with automatic transmission costs more than a bus with manual transmission.

Whereas, if you buy used buses for sale. You can get a used bus in excellent condition from $15,000 to $25,000. It depends on the preowned bus's age and mileage. Of course, other factors count as well. Like engine type, transmission type, size, seating capacity & wheelchair lift. But, you can get possession of the bus for less than $25,0000. Used buses for sale listed on Craigslist and eBay are far cheaper. But you should be cautious of buying such cheap buses for sale.

Think about it. A used bus is a vehicle that has been in use for less than 200,000 miles. After traveling thousands of miles the secondhand bus for sale acquires a lot of wear and tear. On its mechanical as well as electrical equipment. The seller of these used buses for sale will repaint the bus and change its seats to make a quick sale. They will list such buses as refurbished buses for sale. Yet, these buses are not refurbished in the smallest sense. Used buses for sale that undergo a thorough reconditioning process. Are subjected to checks, inspections & repairs. Replacement's done if necessary on more than 1000 parts and equipment. This process of reconditioning increases the life of used buses for sale. Hence you get a secondhand bus for sale that has a long-life. It has already gone through the depreciation process. This saves you a lot of money. Your 2nd hand bus will never lose its value in the market.



If you want to use your bus for less than 20,000 miles and less than 5 years then you need to look for used buses for sale. But, if you want to use your bus longer, then you need to be on the new buses for sale market. A church never adds more than 5,000 miles on its buses. If you use your bus once or twice a week then you will never cross the 20,000 miles per year threshold.

Used buses for sale are affordable and customizable. This is a luxury that you will never get with new buses. With used buses, you can add or remove any part and equipment. Moreover, insurance companies charge less premium on used buses for sale. Since they're purchased at a lower price. The registration fee is less for used buses since it's calculated by the sale price.

Keeping all these numbers and prices in mind. You will find used buses for sale more economical and valuable than a new bus. Minibusses are easy to park and maneuver in narrow streets. You will never be stuck with your used minibus. Neither financially nor on the roads.
