The VanExchange has been designed by travellers for travellers to help you buy and sell your own vehicle during your time in Australia.

Until now travellers have relied on weekly car auctions, backpacker car markets and hostel noticeboards to find their perfect set of wheels. All of which can be fruitful, but all have their drawbacks!

What if you can't wait around for a week until the next auction? What if you want to research an area before you get there, or what if you're just constantly on the move? Finding the right campervan can be costly, time consuming and frustrating - every day spent waiting for the next auction or walking around hostel noticeboards is eating into your travelling time.

The VanExchange solves these issues bringing together vehicle listings from throughout Australia for cars, vans, campervans, SUV's, 4x4's you name it! What's more it's available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Whether it's a rainy day spent in an internet cafe, or you just plain can't be arsed to trawl backpacker noticeboards The VanExchange will be available to start your search.

For buyers this means you can use your time more productively, you can even start researching before you set foot in Australia! You can find out where the best vans are, how much they are likely to cost and when they are available. You can also contact sellers directly and arrange meetings so that you can get straight into it once you arrive.

In addition to this convenience The VanExchange can also take the sting out out laborious negotiations, haggling and bartering to save you money. Auctions, especially in the high season, can be a hectic occasion as frenzied swarms of backpackers all arrive at the same time looking for the best deals. In this situation sellers have the upper hand as buyers seek to outbid each other to get the vehicle they want, decisions have to be made in the heat of the moment and you can often walk away from a deal wondering whether you've just done the right thing.

At The VanExchange you can compare the 'value for money' of vehicles directly by conducting searches based on make, model and price - if a car is overpriced it will stick out like a sore thumb meaning that sellers are more likely to list their vehicles at a fair price. If you do want to find out if the price is negotiable you can contact sellers privately and go from there.

The other great advantage for buyers is choice. The VanExchange lists cars, vans and campervans from the whole of Australia allowing you to expand your search beyond your physical location. In the low season this is particularly useful - if you're struggling to find the right vehicle in your current location you can start researching other areas and arrange meetings with sellers from different towns. That way you can start your travels and hopefully pick up the right vehicle along the way!

For sellers The VanExchange opens up a whole new realm of possibilities. Selling your vehicle can be an equally frustrating experience as the last few weeks of your trip are spent playing cards in the backpacker car markets or car fairs waiting for buyers to turn up. Often sellers have to slash the price of their vehicle as their departure date nears and end up disappointed with their final sale price. The VanExchange vastly reduces the likelihood of this common scenario.

At The VanExchange you can list your vehicle weeks in advance of your planned sale date - just make it clear in your listing when the vehicle will be available. That way you can begin generating interest and enquiries long before you 'need' to get rid of your van, then when the time comes to sell you're not wasting your time looking for buyers, instead you're arranging viewing's with active prospects that you know have an interest.

The VanExchange is actively marketed and promoted throughout Australia giving sellers nationwide exposure and beyond - users do not need to signup to use the site and contact sellers making the process as quick and simple as possible. Put simply The VanExchange gives you the best exposure to the widest range of buyers in order to sell your vehicle. Furthermore you can list your vehicle at what you consider to be a fair price and any haggling or bartering that buyers might want to enter into can be conducted in private so you don't have to make any snap decisions!

We hope you enjoy the website and find it useful, we will strive to add further functionality and features to the site over the coming months to firmly establish our position as the place to buy and sell used cars & campervans in Australia.
