Hi all,
Our new Malibu is due to arrive in less than 2 months so the time has come to sell our lovely and trusted VW T6 that we had for the past 5 years. The Malibu dealer said they won’t accept an exchange as they only sell larger vans and motorhomes so we have to try and sell it ourselves. As first-time sellers of such an expensive item we’re feeling a bit intimidated and clueless so we’re after some advice and reassurance which we’re hoping to find here

- What would be a good place to sell? We have been looking at the Autotrader site which seems easy enough to use but we are worried (well, I am, my other half probably less so…) to have mostly tyre kickers and other time wasters (or even worse: scammers… ) on our doorstep instead of genuine buyers. We also reasoned that people might be a tad reluctant to part with such a large sum of money in a private sale on someone’s drive and that this means we would have to lower the asking price significantly to get a sale.
- We have read on this forum about using Motorhome Depot which sounds quite ideal apart from the fact that they obviously need to make a profit which will affect what we will get for our van. Does anyone have experience dealing with this company? Or have any idea what MD would generally charge for their services? Are there any specific cons or things we need to watch out for when we use them?
- Any other ideas that we haven’t thought about yet?
