How to Sell Your Campervan in New Zealand

Where to list your campervan in NZ, how to price it, what paperwork to prepare, and how to complete the ownership transfer.

Where to List

Trade Me Motors reaches a wide audience and provides structured ads; listing fees apply. Facebook groups (for example NZ and regional campervan sale groups) are free and active but more informal. Listing on both can maximise visibility. Use the same accurate price, specifications, and availability status everywhere, and remove or mark each ad sold promptly.

Pricing

Search completed listings for similar vans (age, type, self-contained, condition). Price realistically; overpriced vans sit unsold. Highlight rego, WOF, and a current green self-containment warrant (blue warrants expired 7 June 2026 — a green warrant now commands a clear price premium). If recently serviced or with new tyres, say so.

Photos and Description

Use clear, well-lit photos: exterior, interior (bed, kitchen, toilet if applicable), cab, and any damage or wear. List key specs: make/model, year, odometer, engine, self-contained (yes/no, green warrant expiry — blue warrants are no longer valid), gas/12V/solar. Mention why you're selling and that ownership transfer is via MR13A.

Ownership Transfer

When you sell, complete the Seller section of the MR13A and give the form to the buyer (or complete online if applicable). Don't leave the buyer as the registered owner until you've been paid in full. See Transfer Campervan Ownership for the full process.
