5 Tips for Part Exchanging Your Company Van

If you’re considering upgrading your company van, part exchanging can be a smart move. Not only does it simplify the process of acquiring a new vehicle, but it can also save you money in the long run. To ensure a smooth part exchange experience, follow these five tips from the pros here at Vanaways.

Assess the Value of Your Current Van

Before diving into the part exchange process, it’s crucial to know the current market value of your company van. Carry out online research, consult industry guides, and consider factors such as mileage, condition and service history. This information will empower you during negotiations and help you get the best deal on your new van.

Gather the Necessary Documentation

Having all the necessary documentation in order can significantly expedite the part exchange process. Ensure you have the logbook, service history, MOT certificates and any relevant receipts for maintenance and repairs. This comprehensive documentation not only showcases the well-maintained state of your current van but also builds trust with the dealership, potentially resulting in a better part exchange deal.

Be Transparent About Your Van’s Condition

Honesty is key when part exchanging your company van. Be transparent about its condition, highlighting both its strengths and any minor issues. Dealerships often appreciate openness, and it builds a positive relationship that can lead to a more favourable part exchange deal. Additionally, being clear about your van’s condition helps the dealership accurately assess its value, reducing the likelihood of surprises during negotiations.

Negotiate Wisely

Negotiation is a key aspect of part exchanging your company van. Armed with knowledge about your van’s value and the latest new van deals, negotiate confidently. Be open to compromises, explore additional perks like extended warranties or service packages, and don’t be afraid to walk away if the deal doesn’t meet your expectations.

"First time using Vansaway! I was in a bit of a panic as my van broke down and I was unable to fix it. My van is my livihood, so I looked into leasing and contract. I wish I done it sooner. I spoke to Jonathan as my first point of contact. I couldn't have got any luckier having him as my support. He was absolutely fantastic, he went above and beyond to help me. He was easy to contact and would always reply when I had any concerns or questions. His knowledge on all vehicles was impeccable, which made things easier. He listened to what I wanted and needed and explained everything thoroughly help me making the right choice in plan and kept in touch throughout the entire process! He knew I was in desperate need of a van and he did not disappoint and kept his word and I was able to get my new van delivered as soon as possible. Enjoying the drive. Its great about the perks involved in having a contract hire as well! Thank you so much for everything! Highly recommend, vans are just not how they use to be, so its great to have a brand new van along with the support of any engine faults things like that. A huge stress off my shoulders being sole trader."

"We cannot fault the service we have received from everyone we have dealt with at Vanaways and will definitely by contacting you again when we come to replace our next vehicle……. On the whole, Customer service, these days, I have found to be quite disappointing and frustrating – I wish more companies showed the care and attention to detail that you guys have shown… you have restored my faith in Vehicle sales teams!! I would not hesitate in recommending you and wish all of our suppliers were are easy to deal with as you have been!! Thankyou especially to Shina and Sophie...."
