Selling a van privately can often seem like a daunting task, but with the correct information and resources, it can turn out to be both rewarding and straightforward. Whether you need a quick sale or you're planning to find the best possible price for your trusty vehicle, understanding the workings behind private van sales is crucial.
When you choose to sell your van on your own, you maintain complete control over the selling process. You set the price, arrange viewings according to your schedule, and potentially net a higher financial return than you might through trade-ins or quick-sale services. However, selling a van privately also requires commitment to marketing, negotiation, and possibly extensive communication with potential buyers.
Here’s a practical guide to streamlining the process:
While selling a van privately can maximize your profit, it's not without its challenges. Are you prepared to handle the paperwork, meet with buyers, and negotiate the sale? If not, perhaps considering a professional service like Vandervan might simplify the process.

If you decide to sell your financed van, the initial step is to obtain a 'settlement figure' from your lender, which you can usually find in a settlement letter. Following that, get a valuation for your van.
Our team will walk you through the settlement process.
We do not charge any fees. There are no admin charges or anything like that. Just your van, your money, instantly.
By selling your van through our service, you join a robust network of over 4,000 verified dealers.
This can often result in a more favourable price compared to part exchange, where you might find yourself confined to a single dealer’s assessment, which might not accurately represent the real market value of your van.
Part exchanges often result in less favourable outcomes for sellers, particularly if the dealer is not intending to retail your van and plans to pass it along instead.
However, with our van buying service, you stand a better chance of obtaining a great price.
The process with us is quick and straightforward. Simply start with a free valuation and contrast this with your part exchange offer. You might be delighted to find how much more you could get from using our service than you’d get from a part exchange!

Fortunately, we buy any van even if they do not have a logbook, although it is advantageous if you have a full V5 Logbook, or at least the green New Keeper Slip.
It makes it tougher to sell to our network of 4000+ verified dealers, as we have to wait for the DVLA to process a V62 application (usually 6 weeks), so our valuations reflect the delay in sale and storage costs while rectifying missing V5 logbooks.
