DEALER STOCK ON CONVERSION VANS


The best way to buy a conversion van may not be out of a show room floor. Too often typical dealers stock high line, over priced vans that may or may not have the features you are looking for. The result of purchasing this way means you pay too much and not receive the best value for your needs. Dealers tend to mark up the wholesale cost of the conversion and the chassis, sometimes as much as $12000 or more depending on the market. Typical sales people at the dealer level tend not to be very knowledgeable about all the features on a conversion. They are there for a quick sale at the highest gross profit. Consumers need to shop more for information directly from the conversion manufacturers. The Internet is an excellent source of information directly from the manufacturers and not the dealerships. Be patient and do your research.
