Listing a work van privately means photos, adverts, time-wasters and test drives on a vehicle you still need. Buyers of a tipper or fridge van also want to haggle over the body, the lift or the unit. For Sale Van puts one figure on the whole thing, chassis and body together, holds it for 7 days, collects free and pays before leaving. No advert, no viewings.

  • No listing, no viewings, no tyre-kickers
  • Tippers, Lutons, dropsides, box and fridge vans, minibuses
  • The body and kit priced in, not argued over

The body gets priced

A private buyer may try to knock you down over a tipper ram, Luton box, fridge unit or tail lift. We include them.

Certificates help

A LOLER report on the lift, ATP on the fridge or PSV papers on a minibus all count.

We know who wants it

Which bodies and chassis are in demand right now.

Broken kit accepted

A tired tipper pump, a sticking lift or a dead fridge unit, sold as it is.

Business sellers welcome

VAT dealt with and an invoice for your books.

Loan cleared

We settle anything owed with the finance company.

Picked up from the yard

Builders' yards, depots and sites, all free.

Money before we go

Bank transfer while we are with you.

Three steps instead of an advert

  1. Send details, not an advert

    Send the reg and miles, or WhatsApp us pictures of the cab, the body and any kit.

  2. Get one firm figure

    No offers and counter-offers. One number, held for 7 days.

  3. One visit, then paid

    Pick a time, we come to you anywhere in the UK, and you are paid before we leave.

Before you list it for sale: FAQs

What kinds of van do you take?

Tippers and caged tippers, Lutons and box vans with or without a tail lift, dropsides, fridge and freezer vans, minibuses, welfare units, recovery trucks and other conversions.

Is the body priced on its own?

We give one figure for the whole van, but the body and kit are a big part of it.

My tail lift has no current LOLER. Does that matter?

A current inspection helps. Just tell us if it has lapsed.

The fridge unit has packed up. Will you still buy?

Yes. Let us know what the fault is.

Will you take a minibus?

Yes, 9 to 17 seats, accessible ones too.

My tipper needs work. Interested?

Yes, pump, ram and body problems included.

I am VAT registered. Is that handled?

Yes, for business sellers.

How do I get paid?

By bank transfer, sent while we are with you.

Can you tell me a price without the details?

No. We value each van on its own.

Will you also buy a plain panel van?

Yes.

Rather not advertise your specialist van?
