Thinking About Selling

Rabbit2.0 said:

The forum didn't offer "General Discussion" to post my thread in so I chose this as the next best option. Long story short, life happened and I did not get to realize the nomadic life like many of you out there. This is not a "classified ad" for my van either.
I actually came for some wisdom. It looks like the best thing to do is to sell my van. It is only 3/4 of the way built (by my plans). Other than mounting the panels, the solar is not installed, I have brand new components waiting to be put in. I have neither the time nor the resources to go further with the build.
I'd like to sell but I'm confused about what pricing. Was wondering if someone who has sold their rig could message me off the thread to provide some advise.
Thanks.

For me, it would depend on how far along you were on your build. Pictures would help us help you to see what is done up to this point. If you cut any holes (other than the roof rack) for windows or such, that drastically impacts your ability to trade it in to a dealership. When i was trying to sell my cargo van, I had added a window and roof vent so the dealerships would not take it in exchange. I was able to sell it privately to someone who wanted a travel van. Like bullfrog said, most nomads what it their way or fully loaded by a reputable builder. If you haven't went too far, and what you have done is something someone can take on without a huge rework, you have a chance. Show us some pictures of your van the way it is.

Take photos, figure out what you need to sell it for and list it locally. Add or do not add the uninstalled items as an addition to the sales package. Vehicle prices can vary regionally by thousands of dollars. You can use the internet to find out what your vehicle for year, model and mileage is worth without “improvements” in the area you live in. Yo do need to know that baseline price is exactly what the buyers in your area will also be referencing.
