How To Maximise Your Van’s Trade-In Value

Whether you need to replace it with a new vehicle or are simply trading in a van for a bit of extra cash, you want to be working hard to maximise the profits you can make off of it. Luckily there are a few easy things to do to help you out.

This is how you maximise your van’s trade-in value.

What Is Trade-In Value Based On?

Trade-in value is decided by a few key factors, and once you understand them it will be easier to figure out how to maximise this value. Some of these factors can be changed but some can be improved upon. The first is the year, as you’re more likely to get a higher price when trading in a newer vehicle. The make and the model will also determine this, and you might expect a better value if your vehicle sells better than others.

The mileage also plays an important part. Even if your car is pristine, a high mileage will affect how well your car is valued. So while you can’t change this, it is important to think about it going into a valuation. One factor you can change is the condition of your car. The better condition it is in, the better the value will be.

How To Improve The Value

As we mentioned previously, the condition is very important. Clean your interior and fix any damage on the exterior of your car, such as scratches or smudged paint. Have a mechanic do a full service of your vehicle. This will show you any issues that need fixing, as well as providing an up-to-date service history that a buyer might appreciate.

You should also shop around to try and find the best person or company to work with when trading in your van. See if you can find some quotes for your vehicle online, so you have an idea of what money you potentially might be offered.

"Found these guys online and was a little bit wary to buy a new van from someone I hadn't heard of. From the off, the first phone call was professional and gave me all the information that I needed, Theo was great, helpful and I proceeded to order my new van, Paige sorted the paperwork quickly and efficiently and within 10 days I had my new van delivered! The price was very competitive and all parts of the transaction were easy and hassle free, wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys, Thank you so much for a really good experience."

"I was looking for a good deal on a van online and then came across Van away, at first I was a bit sceptical but later went ahead and bought a Peugeot boxer on an unbeatable price online. The sell team were fantastic all the way and very helpful to say the least. I will highly recommend Van away to anybody that's looking for a van of any kind. Thanks Van Away for your first class service and I will be looking forward to a future deal."

"Just purchased a 2nd van through Vanaways to add to our company fleet. Steve Catley was helpful, communicative and informative all the way through the process. We would definitely use Vanaways again, and would not hesitate to recommend them."

"Paige was outstanding in her responsiveness to what presented as a serious problem for our company. The finance company used by her company caused unnecessary and significant delays in the delivery of our van - the pain of which was mitigated somewhat by Paige's proactive communication, informative and realistic communication and very professional demeanour. I'd recommend her and she meant our view of Vanaways was overall positive."
