How to Buy a Postal Van or Truck
- 1). Determine what features you need your postal van to have.
How many doors do you need it to have and do you need for them to be sliding doors? How fast do you need the van to go? Does it need to have heat? Air conditioning? Are you okay with a right hand drive van? Many postal vans have these since they were used to deliver mail. Once you begin looking for a van you will find a variety of features on them so it's good to know going in what you need. - 2). Determine what kind of shape you need the van to be in.
How much work are you willing to do? Do you need the vehicle to be in tip top shape or can you do some repairs? Knowing this ahead of time will help you know when you've found the right truck. - 3). Begin your search.
Postal vans and trucks for sale are not abundant but they are out there. Start your search at Ebay Motors and Craigslist. Be prepared to drive if you find the right van or truck. There are also smaller, more obscure places online that will occasionally offer a postal van or truck for sale. It may be a little harder to find those. Car dealers are another potential source of information about where to find a postal van or truck for sale. Finally, consider placing your own 'want to buy' ad online or in the newspaper. This might connect you with a seller that wasn't otherwise advertising. - 4). Be persistent.
Buying a postal van or truck may take some time. Be persistent in your efforts.
