There is a pretty healthy secondary market for these things. Check
with a nearby rehab hospital. If they do any MS or spinal cord injury
work they will have a line on this type of used equipment as well as
people selling it.

As a matter of fact, I'll soon be replacing my 1993 E150 which is
complete with lift, automatic door openers and hand controls in the
near future. Perhaps you'd be interested if you're anywhere near the
greater Philadelphia area.

Buy or build? I'm just starting to think of how convenient a wheelchair
lift would be for the old folks and know less than nothing about them. I
did make a hinged plywood ramp but it is a pain. My first instinct is to
hob together some steel and hydraulics or have a commercial lift installed
or...a couple of ski-ropes tied to the bumper.
