Where did all the private sellers go?

[2into1]

Flicking through the Cali's for sale here, I noticed that 11 are from one dealer and another 3 from a second dealer (or maybe ex rental?). Take those 'trade' vans out of the page and there are only 5 vans from presumably private sellers.

That's a heck of a turnaround from how things used to be.

What's going on? I know late T6 and 6.1s are very strong because of uncertainty around the Multivan Cali, but that doesn't directly explain where all the private sellers have gone.

Batten down the hatches.....unless you're downsizing.....

I've zero interest in changing any of our vehicles at the moment, although I have just bought a Burstner. If anything I will downsize, one, possibly two cars when I take a step back from full time employment

That’s an interesting observation. There appeared to be dozens only a year ago. Just perhaps the higher number for sale between 2022 and 2024 was as a result of post Covid move away from DIY holidays to jetting to the Med once again?
