Selling a van in Abbotsford
Abbotsford is the agricultural centre of the valley, with berry and dairy farming on a large scale and a well-known airshow each summer. It sits right on the international border with mountains on both sides, and it is a working farming city rather than a commuter one.
Driving is essential and trailers are ordinary, which makes anything large easy to move. Farm addresses on rural routes are worth confirming with a landmark rather than relying on a map.
On farm equipment, ask whether it was used commercially. Agricultural work here is hard on machinery and a commercial season puts more hours on a machine than years of hobby use.
Abbotsford, in British Columbia, has around 155,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Vancouver, Surrey and Burnaby are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Abbotsford
Interac e-Transfer is the norm and is instant and traceable, which suits a private sale well. It is what most buyers will suggest before anything else.

Never release the van or the registration document until funds have fully cleared in your own account. Complete the registration transfer immediately so liability moves with the vehicle, write a dated receipt naming both parties, the registration and the price, and keep a copy. WishThrift does not hold funds.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
