How to sell a Van in Gold Coast
Document the fitout thoroughly
Photograph and list all internal features. For cargo vans: racking brand, ply lining, load restraint points. For campervans: every component of the conversion.
Get a pre-sale inspection
Address any oil leaks, sliding door wear and brake condition before listing. These are the first things a buyer's mechanic will flag.
Match to active buyers on GOT ONE?
Trade buyers, campervan seekers and delivery operators post very different requirements. Find buyers already searching for your van type.
Price the fitout separately
If you have a quality campervan conversion, establish what the bare van is worth and add the conversion value separately to justify your price to buyers.
Transfer all relevant documentation
For campervan conversions, include all conversion documentation, electrical diagrams and appliance manuals at handover.
