I would advertise it at £700 less than the dealers at a outright price & put down the mover its a big selling point & anything else your throwing in.

The £700 takes in into the 6k bracket which may give you a better chance

I'd change the heading from:

Swift Challenger 480 Top Of The Range Caravan Two Berth 2006

to:

2006 Swift Challenger 480 Two Berth Caravan with Motor Mover

People who search for 'motor mover' will then find it. The mover should be a big selling point for your van.

Re the price, it needs to show a significant saving vs a dealer, bearing in mind the dealer price will have negotiation built in. If your price begins with a '6' you will have the competitive edge.

Ok I see where you're coming from, if I go into the 6 range will people still want to knock me down, at the price it's at now I'm still open to offers, which is going to be in the 6's.I just though I would of had some interest, if I was buying it and say my budget was less that it is, I would still offer on it.
Does that make sense lol?

Couples are tending to go for the 4 Berths these days, with a fixed bed.

Add a big end washroom and that's what most people want.

I am in the market for a 2 berth - or, a 4 berth .... the 4 berths give you the space and fixed bed generally .... the 2 berth gives you the washroom with wardrobes in etc.

2 Berth buyers are after the big washroom - emphasise that point as much as you can ... the Motor Mover is a definate plus point and worth shouting about (as long as you can show it working of course).

On a personal note .... a Private Sale would have to be at the very least 25% under a Dealer Screen Price AND give an Awning, Bottles, Battery, etc.

The Dealers I have been talking to will knock 10% OFF the Screen Price almost without asking ..... if you have no Part Ex. they throw in a Starter Pack of brand new essentials, they will also put a Motor Mover on at near cost price (£499) to secure the deal. You get a service, a warranty and everything should/will work as it should.

Everything sells - it's just the price that varies.

We have a 2 berth, bought last year and the same layout as yours so def. a market for them.

We were looking at 2 and 4 berths. We don't keep ours at home but it does fit on the drive if we want to bring it back, also didn't want to tow a large van. Ours looks quite dinky when we pitch as some vans are huge! It has everything we need though and is pure luxury after the tent!!

Your van looks lovely, good luck with the sale!

Of course you want the highest price ... most of us do.

But sometimes the highest isn't the best ..... if it puts your pleasure on hold.

Look at a part exchange - you may be surprised at what you may get offered, it won't be what you could get private ... but you have nothing the private route and the season for selling is almost over.

Good luck!
