Trading In A Wheelchair Van Vs Buying New
If you own a new or fairly new accessible minivan, and are planning to sell it soon, you may be wondering how to go about it, or whether trading it in at your dealer is a good option. Trading it in for a new accessible vehicle can be quick and easy, although you may get less for your vehicle than you would from a private sale. Mobility vans and accessible vans tend to lose their value over time, and are an expensive purchase to begin with, meaning that selling it quickly can often be beneficial. However, if you have the time, selling it through a private buyer may be a good strategy, although you should always make sure the vehicle is in good condition and is clean.
If you already own a handicap van, you may have realized by now that they lose value over time and you may be worried about not getting much for it in a trade in. You may also be concerned that it may be difficult to sell it. However, trading it in for a new commercial wheelchair van has a couple of advantages. It may get you more, by trading it in, than you were expecting to get. It may also take some money off the price of one of the new handicap vans that you are considering buying. Consider listing your vehicle privately online, if you simply want to get the most for it, although it may take you more time to sell it that way.
There is no escaaping the fact that wheelchair vans are an expensive purchase, and that they do lose value over time. There are always people looking for conversion vans and if you have the time, selling it privately will almost certainly make more money than the trade in option. As mentioned previously, make sure your accessible vehicle is in good running order, and simply having everything clean and looking good can increase your asking price. On the other hand, it is always worth your while taking it to the dealership, to see what you are offered for it as a trade in, especially if yopu need to buy a new one anyway. You may be offered less than it is worth, but the fact that the trade in process is quick and easy can make it worthwhile to do that. The process is easy and quick and it means that you do not have to wait a long time for a sale, or spend time preparing it for sale.
