After-market wheelchair lift?

I recently got married, and my wife is in a wheelchair. She cannot transfer into a car, so she has a Chevy van with an aftermarket wheelchair lift installed. Frankly, neither the van nor the lift are in great shap. In fact, I’ve been told that her lift – a Ricon – is a bottom-of-the-barrel brand.

Obviously, when the time comes to replace the vehicle and/or lift, it’s going to be a major expenditure. So that I can start planning for it, how much does an aftermarket lift usually cost, what is a good brand/model to get, and what factors should I consider in deciding which one to get?
Also, any experience on which vans might be better than others for installing such a lift?
