Question by Anonymous: Will a regular sized car hold a lift for electric mobility chair?
There are those electric chair lifts that go on the bumper of cars, will they hold electric mobility chairs on Cars or would I need to get an SUV? Please only serious answers. Dont answer if you dont know or if you arent going to give me a "Yes it will" or "No you need to get a ___ type of car"

So I can't answer that it will or won't hold a wheelchair lift?

What I would do is contact manufacturers of wheelchair lifts and find out from them how, or if, they mount to passenger cars. Tell them what car you have or are planning to get. Some I remember seeing mount to the roof of the car if it is meant to facilitate the operator getting into the car as well. It's a kind of hoist type to help you load it in the back seat. And I know of lots of cars that have a carrier mounted on the rear end if mobility from the bumper to the driver's door isn't a problem for the operator. That vans we've had had swing out types from the side door that allowed the operator to basically roll in behind the driver's seat.
