Can Selling Your Motorhome to a We Buy Scheme Really Give you the Best Price?

Can Selling Your Motorhome to a We Buy Scheme Really Give you the Best Price?

18.11.22

Whenever you're looking to sell your motorhome, it's important to get the best value possible. Whatever your reasons for selling your motorhome, make sure you get the best price and use a method most convenient to you.

Here are four solutions for selling your motorhome;

 

1.   Part-Exchanging Your Motorhome

 

The best parts about part-exchanging are the convenience and the money-saving potential. If you need the money from your current motorhome for a new one, or need to trade up, part-exchange is a great option for you. Plus, if you’re looking for a place to store your motorhome during that time off from driving, you have a plan in place - you're never without a motorhome!

Although selling this way is quick and easy, it is not always the most financially beneficial option. Selling in a different way could be more lucrative, but you should be aware of the wasted time, cost of adverts or brokerage costs.

 

2.   Sell your Motorhome to a Dealer Via a We Buy Scheme

 

Continental Leisure is an instant cash buyer, so we'll purchase your used motorhome in as little as 24 hours. That way you can get the money you need quickly so you can buy your next campervan or motorhome and never have to worry about selling your other one again.

When you sell to Continental Leisure, we offer a hassle-free experience with free home collection, and we'll pay off any existing finance up front. In most cases, you'll have cash in your pocket in less than 24 hours from the time of the sale.

Each dealership's purchasing system may be slightly different, but you can find out more about selling to us on our website.

 

3.   Have you Thought About Motorhome Brokerage

 

Did you know that Continental Leisure also acts as a broker and the benefits of using us include high return for your motorhome with minimal hassle; free pick up and storage of your motorhome; finance settled for you; 3 year warranty, full cleaning, service and MOT. All that's done for a fixed brokerage fee.

Motorhome brokerage may be a good option if you desire to wait longer for your money. However, it generally takes months - if not years - for a vehicle to sell. This can result in an increased price for you, but the wait might be worth it.

Continental’s sales packages are worth exploring. Check them out here.

  • Sell privately
  • Announce to our network that you want to sell
  • Let us help you find a buyer for your business

Selling your motorhome privately is an excellent option because you get to keep the whole sale price. With this method, you don't have to pay any fees for someone else to sell it for you.

When selling a motorhome, you must be prepared to go through all the paperwork, including liaising with DVLA about changing ownership. You'll also have to deal with people who try and haggle (like telling you your motorhome isn't worth what you're asking). Furthermore, thieves often target private sellers.

 

4.   Getting Ready to Sell

 

The after-sale preparation is the most important part of selling your motorhome. Here are a few key points to keep in mind:

If your motorhome is dirty inside and out, it will cause dirt to build up and increase wear on doors.

  • Remove all your bits and bobs and toiletries.
  • Make sure your motorhome has a full 12-month MOT.
  • Get a habitation check if it doesn’t already have one.
  • Ensure all details are correct on the V5C.

Once you decide to sell your motorhome, have fun searching for the perfect family home or couple’s haven on wheels. In fact why not check out what we have in stock right here at Continental with both new motorhomes and used motorhomes on sale right now.
