I've seen a couple of possible alternative vans to ours at a couple of local dealers, but they're a bit older than our van. I'm more bothered about layout and condition than year, but wondered whether trading down and getting cash back was a possibility?

I would sell my van private then go back to the dealer as he will give you less than market value.

Thank Jeff - I know the logic and thoroughly agree with you - but there's so much going on at the minute that I really can't face spending a couple of months faffing with buyers who ask hundreds of questions then never turn up!

Trading down will involve paying the forecourt price for your new caravan & accepting bottom book for your present 'van so either straight swap or cash adjustment from dealer if your current 'van is much higher value. Dealer will want profit on both 'vans so you lose money.

However, this way you simply tow current 'van in & new 'van out, easy peasy, but obviously a price to be paid for this 'service'.

To minimise your losses & even make a profit will involve you selling & buying privately, that way the profit is all yours, not the dealer's but you will have to work for that profit in a world of derisory offers & timewasters.
