People with RVs or
campers for sale need to know that they can sell it faster and get a better price by preparing for the sale. Selling it through a dealer will help, but you can expedite the sale by considering other factors as well. We have put together some important tips to help you simplify the RV sales process as much as possible.
Sell Professionally
The easiest and fastest way to sell your RV is to bring it to a
RV dealer that handles consignment sales. Not only will it get more visibility than being parked in your yard or at a shopping center, but it will also have the benefit of being shown by RV dealers who know how to present it well. Nohr’s also handles financing and paperwork as part of the transaction, and that can eliminate the confusion and stress of making the sale.
When to Sell
More people are shopping campers for sale during the Spring than at any other time of year. April and may are also when people are getting their tax refunds, giving them more purchasing power. By coordinating your RV sale with these factors you can sell faster and possibly even make more on the sale.
Clear It Out and Clean It Up
No one is hoping to buy a used RV filled with other people’s possessions. Clear out all of your decorations and other items before your RV on the market. Similarly, the cleaner the RV is-- inside and out-- the more appealing it will be to prospective buyers.
Appropriate Presentation
The way you present your RV to buyers plays a part in how quickly it sells and what you can get for it. The best option is to set it up for use so that buyers can see how it will look on the road. If you are selling it yourself, consider going to a campground and taking some pictures of it in the type of setting most buyers will be going to.
Price It Right
Check the Blue Book price for your exact RV model and base your asking price on that fair market value. If you have made modifications you can increase the price a little, but you should also lower the price if the Rv needs repairs or has flaws. Asking too much or too little will make buyers wary, so know what your RV is worth before you sell it.
Describe It Accurately
Honestly describing your RV to potential buyers is important. They want to know what the best features are, but they also want to know about any damages or flaws that may need their attention. Buyers may not be afraid of making a few repairs if they know what to expect, but they will be more cautious if they come to look at it and discover you have left important details out of the description.
