7 tips to sell your van fast

Want to sell your old van before the new year? Unless you know somebody who’s interested in buying, this process can be incredibly time-consuming. Whether you advertise online or in the local paper, you usually have to deal with at least a few time wasters. You probably also have to spend time negotiating with those who are genuinely interested. Fortunately, there’s all sorts of ways to sell a van quickly, with the least amount of hassle. Here are just seven ways to get the ball rolling this winter:

1. 1. Make sure that you set the right price. It can help to research the market to ensure that you’re not selling too high or low. Although we all want to get the best price, if your van is priced too high it can deter potential buyers.

   3. Highlight the selling points of your vehicle.  You might want to emphasise the van’s key features, its condition, low mileage, any recent repairs or maintenance, service history, etc. It’s vital to be transparent about any issues.
