When you sell an RV, it can be stressful—whether it is your retired RV, an upgrade to a new rig, or a downsizing to a smaller model. There is a good chance that you want a quick and easy sale that returns the highest value for your assets. However, depreciation can happen quickly and can be high with any vehicle. So, what are the best ways to sell an RV? The following is a list of everything you need to consider when selling your RV.
Privately sell RVs online
RVs can be sold privately through online listings. By advertising the platform, managing the exhibits, and setting the price, you are in complete control. Promoting an RV for sale online is possible in several places. Free listings are available on sites like Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist. Local garage sale Facebook groups can further expand your reach in your town or city. A Facebook listing requires photos, a description, and of course, a price.
Sell or trade in your RV with a dealer
A dealership is another option for selling an RV. Once your old rig is sold, this option might make sense if you’re buying a new one. The same person handles both your selling and buying paperwork, so you do not have to deal with two transactions at once.
RV consignment
The process of consigning an RV is another way to sell your RV that combines elements of the private market and dealer options. A consignment RV is one that is sold by a third party on your behalf, while you remain the owner. When you decide to consign your RV, a larger dealership like Camping World is a great choice.
Consignment offers several benefits when selling an RV. The dealer can often assist you with getting the rig ready to sell. You can ask them to assist with cleaning and maintenance. Professional photography and advertising are handled as soon as the rig is ready for use.
