Best car/van for sick mom?

**ramones283** · May 20th, 2016 03:15 PM

Would you consider a used vehicle? A local 2nd hand nissan serena is a good pick, low stance, high ceiling , short wheelbase van, wide and easy ingress/egress.

Was the Nissan Serena ever released locally? Aren't those are converted imports?

Yes sir meron. AFAIK, local units are Gas fed while imported versions are Turbo Diesel. Well, anyone can correct me if i'm wrong. We had local serena before in our company, 2008 model 2.0 A/T gas.

No idea if those serena's are CBU from japan or built in sta.rosa. What i'm sure is nissan ph locally released this van from 2001 - 2013? I've seen a serena with 'U' plate.

Since you did not include having a wheelchair lift, you can choose from compact sedans to Innova like vans. Much important is the parking orientation inside your garage for easy access in case of emergency.

Perhaps you'd consider a used Kia Carens. Not very high that it would necessitate a climb and yet not low enough to necessitate stooping. You get car-like ride quality, lots of space and a frugal and powerful diesel engine.

Sir, medyo OT. Anong klaseng emergency ang hanap mo para kay mommy? Kung para sa high blood pressure (hypertension), I have a good advice for you. If your mom may have have attacks of hypertension, dont despair. May remedyo diyan which is not life threatening. I need your reply, asap.

Just a added piece of advice just like our case why not apply for a 1 year unli ambulance service through Lifeline Philippines? Mom paid 3000 annually for all household in our home but we usually called their service for my grannies. Atleast they are trained to handle emergency cases.

Google their website for area of coverage and other rates not sure if its just individial 1,000 / annually and if a sick person is allowed to be covered.

Besides sorry if medyo may advertisement kunti walang pilitan were planning to sell also our Nissan Livina its like Mobilio and or Ertiga

PM nalang for details.

I have the same predicament, my dad is in a wheelchair, can still stand up but with support and for a few secs only, so everytime he needs transporting, we use our innova, pero sobrang hassle pag tumatayo at lumilipat sa upuan. Sabi nila palitan ko daw ng previa yung innova kasi mas maganda ride at mas madali sumakay.

Si erpats din kasi kahit di makatayo di matis matengga sa bahay nababato
