Re: driving and CMT/hand controls info

[Guest guest]

Hi Joyce,

Just to let you know certain car companies have a program that

will reimburse you up to $1000.00 if you happen to purchase one of their

vehicles and have hand controls installed in it . One of them that I used is

Toyota. " Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. will provide a reimbursement of up to

$1,000 to each eligible,

original retail customer, for the exact cost they paid to purchase and

install qualifying adaptive driving or passenger equipment for transporting

persons with physical disabilities.* This offer applies to all purchased or

leased new 2001 and later Toyota vehicles. Leased vehicles require advance

written lessor approval of adaptive equipment installations "

You can get additional information on it at their website

http://www.toyota.com/mobility/.

There are other car companies that provide this as well. You would just have to

do research on their website.

Any other questions, let me know.

Cheryl,

When I purchased my Saturn, I found out that all the major car companies will

reimburse up to $l,000 for any mobility equipment installed in your vehicle.

The requirements were that they be purchased and installed within 1 year.

All buyers have to do is call the manufacturer, Ford, GM etc. public relations

department and request a Reimbursement Mobility Form and

fill it out, the installer fills out his section, (only a couple of lines) and

send a copy of your prescription for the devise.

So if anyone out there needs something, check into this. Hope this will help

someone.
