RV Consignment Basic Information You Should Know

By Debra Richardson


Recreational vehicles or RVs are what automobiles with living space and home amenities are called and have different variations depending on the region. They normally include sleeping facilities, bathroom and kitchen but others have additional features like vanity closet, dining room and hot tub. These are used for camping, vacations, mobile offices or traveling permanent homes.

But some owners can not use them as much as they want because their schedules are busy and every year, it sits in storage unused. Maintenance and storage fees could add up and can annually cost you more. Another option is getting an RV consignment Abbotsford BC which allows a company to sell for you your vehicle while owning it still.

You will turn your RV over to a company which will handle all appointments, phone and financing and get a percentage when it has been sold. This benefits those that lives in rural areas with no time for advertisements or showings. Dealership companies like these have more market and foot traffic meaning your vehicle gets more exposure to potential buyers.

Dealerships usually offer three months of consignment period with varying fees like paying them a fixed percentage. Or you will make an agreement with the dealer of the target sale price and they would collect the extra of what amount it was sold as their commission. Extra services are sometimes offered like detailing or tune ups with a fee for these works though.

Consignment insurance differs with the one you currently have because some insurers do not cover vehicles when they are with insurers. Most companies though have security features such as cameras or gated access though anything can happen. It may get damaged due to fire or when test driving it and not having them insured makes the repair bill your responsibility.

Advantages of consigning RV includes letting them handle the advertising, showing and inquiries to potential buyers. Aside from exposure to more people, buyers which need financing could be considered since this sale aspect is managed by dealers. They try to sell also your automobile fast and that differs when yourself does it without motivation in marketing it.

The disadvantages include paying them commission which is a major drawback because that money could be yours if you did the selling. Additional expenses for extra services are there like consignment insurance, cleaning and preparation. Selling it anywhere else is not allowed because a contract will be signed and using them either is not possible as well.

When finding a good dealership, carefully check their terms such as the way they will be charging you of their service and the contract duration for this. What other services they offer and any additional fees that needs paying like when you want to cancel. Check how aggressive they are in marking and what other customers have said regarding them.

After you have chosen, research first what the market price is then determine your selling price. Clean your vehicle, do light maintenance then check if mechanical repairs would be needed and let your usual shop work on it. Dealerships may charge you higher for this compared to others.
