Value My Motorhome - I'm Buying Another One!

Do you know what an "Underwrite"is? It is a term used in many trades. It is where a trader lines up a buyer in advance for an asset they are going to buy themselves and need an immediate sale for. Most often this will be where a dealer takes the asset in part-exchange. A typical example is where a motorhome dealer takes a motorhome they don't want to stock in part exchange for a new motorhome. For any number of reasons the dealer may not want to put the part-exchange motorhome on their forecourt. But they do want to sell the new motorhome to the buyer. So, they phone around motorhome buyers ahead of agreeing a deal and get an underwrite for the part-exchange. Now the motorhome dealer knows how much they can sell the part-exchange motorhome for and therefore, how much they can sell the new motorhome for and still make a profit on the deal.

This is normal commercial practice in many business sectors. It is what allows traders to trade. If motorhome dealers weren't able to get underwrites and sell to the trade, they would do very few part-exchange deals. Imagine what the average motorhome dealer's forecourt would look like if they had to resell every part exchange motorhome they accepted!
