Prep your van up to get the best amount of cash for your van

Posted by We Buy Van Today on December 2nd, 2017

Prepping up a van is something that sets the basis of a sale. Once this step is done successfully, almost nothing with a sale could possibly go wrong. Some of the most basic things that a seller should get done before putting the car up for sale are listed below.


Always remember, a van is something that does not have to be super shiny and clean, it just needs to look tidy and well cared for.

  • Starting with the exterior, it should be clean. The paint should not be faded in places and it should not be covered with a layer of dirt.

  • The tires should not be shiny black; they can have a little bit of soil on them but not a lot of dirt and mud.

  • The engine should be properly services. It should not be dirty, covered with dust and have left over oils over the things in it. The trunk should be emptied and cleaned out. Use an air freshener for quite some time before putting the van up for sale.

  • The seats should be clean as well. If they have weird stains, remove them. The buyer should want to sit on them. Change them if the stain is not removed.

  • The floor mats should be cleaned out. If it does not do the work, replace them.

  • The cup holder and the glove box are almost always neglected. Make sure to clean them out.

  • Get an air freshener for the van. There are some air fresheners that are used specifically for vehicles and are stuck to the air conditioner. They can do wonders with the fresheners in the van.

  • Get a lot of the minor knobs and buttons fixed. Any potential buyer is bound to touch and test everything they can while sitting on the driver’s seat. Do all that you possibly can to not disappoint them.

Getting a few minor things fixed can do wonders with the price of the van and can get you a lot more cash for your van than you could possibly think.
