- Comments Off on Trade-In Playbook for Vans: What Adds Value (and What Doesn’t)
Thinking about moving up to a newer van? Your trade is a big part of the deal. The right prep can put real money back in your pocket; the wrong “upgrades” can do the opposite. This guide covers what our appraisers actually look for on conversion, passenger, and mobility vans—and what helps your number on the spot.
What appraisers look for on vans (that’s different from cars)We still care about the basics (year, miles, accident history) but vans bring a few extra checks:
- Seating and layout. Condition of captain’s chairs or benches, working recline and swivel bases, intact armrests, no broken tracks.
- Roof height and structure. High-top integrity, seam condition, any signs of leaks or waves in the fiberglass.

But lately, one question keeps coming up more and more: what about hybrids? Gas vans are still what you’ll find on the lot today, but the idea of a hybrid conversion van is starting to get attention. If you’re shopping for a van and wondering about the difference, here’s what you need to know.
What Is a Hybrid Conversion Van?
A hybrid van runs on both a gas engine and an electric motor. The idea is simple: use less fuel, lower emissions, and keep the range of a normal gas vehicle. Unlike a fully electric van, you don’t have [...]
