Trading in, selling privately, or selling to a professional buyer, each has pros and cons. A no-nonsense comparison.
Anyone buying a new commercial vehicle faces a choice: what to do with the old one? There are roughly three options.
Trading in is easy: the dealer takes your old vehicle when you buy a new one. It's quick and you don't have to arrange anything. The downside is that the trade-in value is often lower than the market value, because the dealer still needs to make a margin.
Selling privately can yield the highest price, but it takes time and effort: creating ads, receiving viewers, negotiating, and handling the paperwork. For a commercial vehicle with signs of wear or high mileage, a quick sale is not guaranteed.
A professional buyer combines the convenience of a trade-in with a fair price. You get one clear offer, free collection, and smooth paperwork, without being dependent on buying a new vehicle.

Frequently asked questions
The market value is the amount you receive when selling to a private buyer or professional buyer. It reflects the actual market value of the commercial vehicle at that moment. The trade-in value is what a dealer gives you when you hand in the vehicle as part of buying a new one. Because the dealer has to resell the vehicle with a margin, this value is 10 to 30 percent lower than the market value.
Factors such as brand, model, trim level, year of manufacture, and mileage play a role, but so does the documentation of maintenance and damage history. A complete service book can increase the value by several hundred euros. VAT liability also has an impact: as a VAT-registered business, you charge 21% VAT. In a private sale, clearly state whether the price includes or excludes VAT. In a trade-in, the dealer settles the VAT in the usual way.
Want the best result? Always compare multiple offers and request a free appraisal to get a realistic picture of the market value.
Choose the right route
Not every situation is the same. Discover when trading in, selling privately, or using a professional buyer is the best choice.
Trading in at the dealer is the fastest way. The trade-in value is settled immediately, you have no paperwork to worry about, and you avoid ending up with two vehicles.
Selling privately through an online platform can yield a higher offer. You take photos, write an ad, arrange test drives, and negotiate the price. Keep VAT and payment security in mind.
A professional buyer appraises your company vehicle, makes a market-based offer, and handles the sale and transfer completely. You get cash immediately and avoid risks and lost time.
Transparent and fast
An accurate appraisal is the starting point of a good sale. Our experts analyze your company vehicle based on make, model, trim, year, mileage, and maintenance history. We look at current market demand and account for repair costs. Within a few hours, you'll receive a no-obligation offer.
Selling privately often yields a higher price, but it also comes with risks and obligations. As a VAT-registered entrepreneur, you charge 21% VAT on top of the sale price and remit it. A private buyer sees that as extra cost, so competing with VAT-inclusive offers can be tricky. Therefore, clearly state whether the price is exclusive or inclusive of VAT.
Furthermore, check the buyer's ID, draw up an invoice, and transfer the registration immediately via the RDW. This prevents fines from remaining in your name. Have payment made in full upfront before handing over the keys and papers. Also give an honest description of any defects: a private buyer may expect a 'conforming car' and can claim non-conformity if hidden damage is discovered later.
If you don't want to deal with this process, a professional buyer offers a solution: they handle all the paperwork, pay immediately, and take over the legal risks.
