We have purchased a SRO vehicle each year with a goal of obtaining 4 vehicles. There is no local option to purchase this year. We would like permission to shop for a vehicle up to 48,000. The goal is to find a good used well equipped vehicle. This permission allows us to make a purchase upon finding an acceptable option and not losing out on the vehicle. Purchase of a vehicle this year will leave only one more to purchase.
