How to go about buying a used van
You have suddenly realized that you have the need to buy a van. It could be either because your work requires you to carry equipment that won’t comfortably fit in your car, or it could be maybe you go skiing or biking or rafting on the weekends and need the extra room. It could even be that maybe you now have kids of the age that need to be picked up and dropped off to school and extracurricular activities, and you are part of the car pool, which necessitates having room for a car full of kids.
Whatever the reasons, you’ve also decided that you do not want to invest in a new vehicle, which you know will lose value the moment you drive it off the lot.
Now let’s take a closer look at these options. For online option, one of the good sites to start with is always eBay.
For offline options, you should check out private sellers through contacts, or head to the nearest dealers. If you are certain of which manufacturer you want to go with, then think about heading to your local certified pre-owned dealer for that car company, where you can check out their range of used vans. With this option, you can get financing, extended limited warranty, roadside assistance and perhaps most pertinent of all, you will get some level of assurance of the condition and quality of the car, since it will have the manufacturer’s seal of approval and certified pre-owned certification, having undergone a series of inspections and also having been restored to as close to factory conditions as possible.
