Sell your van the easy way!

We help you by marketing your van in the right places, verifying that your van systems are working correctly, and screening potential buyers to see who’s serious.

We have constant traffic through our shop and website, from van renters to dreamers poking their heads in to see what’s going on.

We do not offer a “sell it yourself” platform — check out vanlifetrader.com as the best place to list a van on your own.

*We are not a dealer, and the final transaction is between you and the buyer.

You tell us what your ideal price is, and what your bottom is. We look at the market and advise you on how quicky we think that might sell.

We do not offer appraisals or guarantee pricing — because the market price is what someone is willing to pay.

Diagnostics

Prior to listing, we inspect the van as part of our service to make sure everything works. If there are any issues, we can quote you on repairs and troubleshooting.

Upgrades

Upon request, we can also advise you on small upgrades that make your sale more attractive — but we usually do not recommend huge upgrades before a sale,

Potential buyers may opt in for a 'pre-purchase inspection’ from a local machanic in Hood River, and we shuttle the van over for the third party inspection, at no cost to you. Most buyers also request documentation of maintenance, and are also interested in what you used the van for and why you are selling it. Stories are the best sales pitches!

The transaction process

When a buyer is ready to purchase, we request a 5% non-refundable deposit from the buyer to take the van off the market, which we charge through the VLC. That lets us work out logistics of signing purchase documents and arranging the final payment to be sent directly to the seller. The most common form of payment is a cashier’s check or wire — and we will facilitate whichever method works best for both parties.

The van is held at the shop until all payments and signatures have been completed.

Taking your van off the market

We ask that you commit to 4 months. If your van does not sell in that period, we can end the contract and remove listings.
