Gather all your van’s information before selling it

Potential buyers might ask to see proof of these things, so make sure you have got all the relevant information at hand before you sell your van in case someone asks.

Set the price to sell your van

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 HPI Check website. This will give you an idea of how much you can sell your van for.

If you do not have enough photos, it can be off-putting for potential buyers who think you might have something to hide. Before you take the photos ensure that your van is clean and tidy.
