Selling My Van Tips

[kevnsue]

Hello all, Hope someone can point me in the right direction. I want to sell my t6 day van but have no experience in selling vans/cars as I usually part ex them. What I need to know is how do I work out a fair sale price and if I do have a buyer I`m guessing cheque`s are not a thing anymore, so how do I accept payment. Finally, is it acceptable to advertise here?
I know I sound like a plonker but it`s all a bit daunting and I don`t want to make a b*lls up selling my pride and joy.
Thanks in advance
Kev B

You can advertise it in the for sale section on here @kevnsue , as for value,you probably need to look for any vans for sale with similar spec/mileage etc on ebay and autotrader etc and work it out from there,hope this helps you

You need to be a VIP member to sell stuff here - worth it though, even for just one sale.

He already is a vip member @Pete C so should be fine

Thanks Pete, is it acceptable to itemise everything about the van? it`ll be a long list I reckon

Yeah list the model and any factory options then detail anything that’s been done since

I would describe the van here in detail (in this thread) and ask for advice on what you could sell it for. Compare the responses you get with similar vehicles on EBay, Autotrader and other sellers. Then list it for sale in the For Sale subforum with an asking price.

I've always sold my vehicles privately. Ebay usually , advertise it at what it's worth to you/ what you'd be happy with. Who care if its worth more as long as you get what you want? Pay it forward so to speak.
Cash or bank transfer in full before you release the vehicle and do it on your own terms ie at your home not in a dark corner of B&Q carpark. Let the buyer come to you. It's a vw van and will sell easily.

Bank transfer sounds good, I just was`nt sure what was acceptable this day and age.

Certainly wouldn't take cash on a sale of that value. Could end up with a load of good forgeries.

Bank transfer would be my advice.

I sold a car once for 8k. They gave me 8k in cash. I didn't even count it. I went to the bank, with them, and I cashed it in and we both watched.

It totalled 8k. Great. I said to the lady who cashed it for me "I brought it here so you could verify all 8000 is genuine". She replied "Oh we don't check each note is real, the machine just counts each note...."

Not really my problem since the money went into my account but I found it very interesting/shocking. random story over....

Hello Pete, Would I use the edit button to add a description of the van in this thread? I`m guessing that would allow people to see what i`m talking about in the first post.
Sorry to sound so clueless, probably coz I am

Looks like a good spec. You haven’t mentioned which engine it has, and some photos would help.

Now need some forum experts to appear and say what they think it is worth
