Part exchange offers are usually based on trade value rather than full retail value. A dealer needs room to prepare, advertise and resell the vehicle, so the figure offered for your motorhome or campervan will often be lower than its potential open-market return.
Deal Beater gives you another option. We professionally market your motorhome or campervan through our cost-free brokerage service so you can compare the potential return with the dealer’s offer before deciding which route works best for you.
You can keep an existing dealer part-exchange offer as a possible backup, subject to that dealer’s terms, while exploring whether selling separately could leave you in a stronger position when purchasing your next vehicle.
The important figure is the overall cost to change, not just the part exchange allowance.
Example only: If a replacement vehicle is £55,000 and the dealer offers £30,000 for yours, the cost to change is £25,000. If your current vehicle achieved £34,000 through a separate sale and you negotiated the replacement to £53,500, the cost to change would be £19,500. Actual values, selling prices and discounts vary, and Deal Beater does not guarantee a higher return.
