Before creating your free van advert, you will need to find out some information about your vehicle. You will need to know your van’s specification, the miles it has done, and when it last had its MOT. Potential buyers might ask to see proof of these things, so make sure you have got all the relevant information at hand in case someone asks.
You probably have a price in your head that you want to sell your van for. However, you need to think about whether it is realistic and whether it is worth that price. If you set the price too high then you could miss out on buyers who wouldn’t be willing to pay that. You are able to value your van for free by entering your registration on the My Car Check website. This will give you an idea of how much you can price your vehicle at.
Make sure that the photos you take of your vehicle are as professional-looking as possible. Take photos when the lighting is good so that potential buyers are able to see the vehicle properly. Use angles that show off the vehicle in a positive. If you do not have enough photos available on your van advert, it can be off-putting for potential buyers who think you might have something to hide. Before you take the photos ensure that your vehicle is clean and tidy. Photos with mess or dirt might put off people and have a negative impact on your listing.
When it is time to create your van advert, you need to remember to be as descriptive as possible in it, to ensure that potential buyers are aware of everything they need to know. Do not give any false information and ensure that the specification information you put is correct. Sometimes sellers choose to leave out information about their vans as they believe this will make it seem more valuable to buyers, however, this will just waste your time when the potential buyer sees something they were not expecting and is no longer interested. Be truthful with what you write to be sure that everyone who does contact you and is interested is completely aware of what condition the van is in.
Sometimes potential buyers want to see the van before buying it and will ask to come for a viewing. If you allow them to then make sure that you have cleaned your vehicle thoroughly inside and out, to appeal to the buyer more.
When you do get interested people, you need to ensure that you are replying to any questions or queries as quickly as possible. Try to be as professional as you can, to put the buyer’s mind at ease and ensure they will continue with the sale.
Once your advert is up and ready to go, be sure to share your advert with not only friends and family, but also your social media network. You will be surprised by how effective this can be. Even if your followers and friends are not looking for a van themselves, they might know someone who is. People are far more likely to buy a vehicle from someone they know, even if it is only over social media, so you could get a lot more interest from just a simple share.
