Start with the decision

Prepare one accurate listing package before answering buyers. Clear specifications, current photos and candid disclosures reduce repeated questions and help buyers decide whether the truck fits their work.

Gather the VIN, model year, mileage, axle configuration, body details and title information. Record known mechanical issues and distinguish work supported by invoices from a seller recollection. Do not describe an overhaul as documented unless the paperwork is available. Photograph the truck as it currently sits, including areas a serious buyer is likely to ask about.

Questions to resolve before committing

Agree on a practical viewing schedule and a contact process. Ask buyers about the intended job, timing and funding plans before arranging travel. Screening helps organize inquiries; it cannot guarantee that a buyer will obtain financing or complete a purchase. Avoid removing a listing solely because someone has expressed interest.

Keep your asking terms and proposed payout in writing. Simple Lend Marketplace helps coordinate buyer inquiries, viewings and the transaction. Confirm the written agreement for your specific listing, including how the marketplace margin and any agreed expenses affect the transaction. Do not assume an advertised figure replaces the terms you sign.

Independent inspection, at the provider’s quote

Inspection is offered on request. You pay the shop directly at the price they quote, and Simple Lend Marketplace makes nothing on this service. Ask the provider what their proposed scope includes, whether they can examine the truck’s specific systems, and how they will report limitations. A viewing and a mechanical inspection serve different purposes.

Trucks are sold as-is by their sellers. Simple Lend Marketplace is a marketplace and broker: we relay seller disclosures and help coordinate the process. We do not own, inspect, certify or warranty the trucks. Financing is arranged through outside lending partners, subject to their review and terms.
