The Lowdown on Van Auctions - The 101
Why Hudson Kapel?
The Key Word For Trade Buyers Purchasing Used Vans At Auction is Trust
When trade buyers purchase popular used vans from big Vendors at auction online, they are looking for a vehicle in good condition. Although used vans are driven hard by a manwith a mission for 3 plus years, the good news is that the trusty light commercial vehicle is built for that. After all, Ford Transits are ‘The Backbone of Britain’, and there are rock solid used vans such as Vauxhall Vivaros, Renault Traffics, Toyotas and VWs all over the country being bought at fair prices at auctions. Used vans are built tough, and many admirably sail past a decade before they slow down a bit. Used vans, from 3 years old are therefore a bargain. We believe over 300,000 used vans are purchased every year, the vast majority through auction.
When buying used vans at auction, successful trade buyers are realistic when it comes to finding good ‘uns. They don’t seek perfection - that requires forking out for a brand new van for a hefty price. They want value, they want reliability; and they need an honest representation of the vehicles for sale. They need to trust the van’s vendor and the auctioneer. After all, once bought, there’s no going back. So, thisis a big decision.
Obvious factors included a proper inspection, validation that the used van is what it says it is, then a universal grading system, such as NAMA, and better still a warranty, if things do go wrong with the van. For all the above, the trade needs an auctioneer who they can trust. Not only should they auction quality used vans from known vendors, but that the presentation of the detail on the van be accurate. Trade buyers don’t want estate agent speak; they need precise information and accurate communication. And all this must be simple, fast and above it, worth it.
