What's my van worth??

[Nick Viridian]

T5 2015, T30 140 DSG, LWB, 64,100 miles. Excellent condition.​

Hi, We have had this van from new and treated it very well, so in excellent condition. Due to Covid we are reluctantly selling it as we no longer do shows.

Any advice on how to sell would be appreciated. Thanks

I would start but having a look at the vans that have been sold on here in the FOR SALE section. Then maybe have a look on the usual places, eBay, auto trader, the facebook pages about transporters particularly the sell buy ones.

Then write you ad and decide a price. Start by putting an ad on here as its now free as you are a VIP.

With regret I am likely needing to sell my T6 Highline 204. It’a on a 66 plate, manual in black, 38k, full VWSH including recent timing belt, has balance of extended VW warranty, has Sportline alloys and side chrome bars. LED auto dip lights and the much sought after twin ELECTRIC sliding doors. It’s has a ceramic paintwork coating that was topped up at a cost of £650 in December 2020. It’s a lovely van, cosseted from new.
My problem is then where I start with an asking price???
I am not close enough to the market to gauge likely demand and interest.
Any views?

Best thing to do is spend a few minutes on Autotrader, Facebook market place, Gumtree, eBay classifieds.

Won’t take you long to narrow down a price range, then go with an amount you’re comfortable with.

And if you have time on your side, you can always start a tad higher to test the market, and drop if necessary.

I have done this and even in sold items on eBay I can’t find an equivalent. Closest match for sale is a 2017 is pretty much the same spec but without electric sliders. That is £33k.
I know we are living in unprecedented times but is that really what these are going for?

Have you tried We Buy Any Car for a valuation. Obviously the valuation wouldn’t take into account the options you have fitted. Bear in mind that a trader would add an extra few thousand to this price if on a forecourt.

Used prices have gone up considerably over the last year. Largely and supply and demand issue as new vans are in short supply and on long lead times from VW, so price of used has gone up. There are plenty of examples on here of people being offered more than they paid 1-2 years ago for the same van.

So yes, that’s what these are going for and you may be pleasantly surprised by what you can achieve,
but be wary of WBAC and Highway - they will discount a good bit as they are effectively a trade buyer and are looking for their own margin, and that of the end trader. By example just sold an Evoque privately for £14,800 - the Highway price was £12,500.

So they are helpful as a reference, but will always be under the real value. Autotrader may give a better reference point for price, and you can also compare mods to any that you see on their website to see how price/spec compares.

Used prices seem to be very high at the moment- I bought my van brand new (pre registered) for less than some year old second hand vans with similar spec. Crazy times!!

We may be interested at a fair trade price- DM me the full details .

Prices are huge at the minute. I’ve never seen the second hand van market in my 30+year in the motor trade and 20 years with transporter.

I have no personal experience with WBAC type organisations but I have heard on several occasions that when you turn up for your appointment they will go around your vehicle and basically pick holes in it and then reduce the price accordingly, therefore you tend to end up with a fair bit less than your original quote.

Yea, I can second this.

I got rid of my three year old T5.1 through WBAV a while back. It was in such good condition that they couldn’t knock any money off. The sales chap had to phone up to get authorisation from head office to pay me and explain to them why he couldn’t knock money off!
