6 Essential Tips When Selling Your Caravan in Mandurah


There are thousand and one reasons why a caravan owner would want to sell his or her caravan. If you are thinking of selling your touring caravan, there are many things that you need to prepare and steps you need to undergo in order for you to get the best deal out of the sale. To help you get the best deal, here are the 6 essential tips when selling your caravan in Mandurah:

1.    Sell your caravan during peak time.
It is always wise to sell your caravan during the peak time. According to statistics, New Year and summer seems to be the best time to sell your caravan in Mandurah. The New Year and the sunny sky seems to bring people to dream of a holiday, thus the demand for touring caravan becomes high. The demand for caravan also increases when the school holidays are approaching, since it is the time the family prepares for a trip. The increased demand will eventually fuel the price.

2.    Starts the offer with a fair price
When you decide to sell your caravan in Mandurah make sure to do some research beforehand. Scout around the prices of a second-hand caravan with the model, make, age and condition similar to yours. If you won’t offer a fair starting price, it is likely that your caravan will not sell. Make a fair starting offer and work from there.

3.    Include key details in your ad.
If you are to place an ad online or in print media, make sure to include the key details in your ad. Important details you should include are: year the caravan was manufactured, the model, millage, and your asking price.

When posting an ad, be informative as possible. The more informative your ad, the more it is appealing to prospective buyers. Be prepared to answer some technical questions, and be straightforward as possible when answering those questions.

Here are questions a prospective buyer might be asking:

Where do you store your caravan?

How frequent you use your caravan?

What does it weigh (TARE, GTM, and ATM)?

Towing services you use?

Total kilometers traveled, including off-road, on dirt, or on corrugations.

As much as possible be honest with your answer.

4.    Take a high-quality photo of your caravan
As the saying goes, “a picture paints a thousand words,” a high-quality photo can make a huge difference in your sale. Use a high-resolution photo that showcases the best feature of your caravan. 
Use proper lighting when you’re taking pictures of the van’s inner view.  Upload as many photos as the selling site allows. If there are defects on your caravan, take a picture of it but don’t include it in the ads but send them to your prospective buyer when they ask.

A short video highlighting the good features of your caravan can be a good selling strategy. Prepare a good quality video that is short and relevant.

5.    Have your caravan cleaned
You have a better chance of selling your caravan when it is thoroughly clean. Before you sell your caravan in Mandurah clean it as realistically as possible. Investing few bucks in clean-up and repair can increase your chance of a successful sale. It can also earn much bigger rewards.

6.    Make the inspection a pleasing experience
When the prospective buyer makes an onsite inspection, make sure that the inspection experience is pleasing. Be polite and friendly. Show how things operate and have your caravan plugged into power and gas. Allow the buyer to inspect under the van, and all the nooks and crannies. Avoid hovering when the buyer is doing the inspection which can make buyer nervous, this will decrease your chance of securing the sale.
