Hey everyone, thinking of getting another T6.
Had a 2016 T6 for 2 1/2 years, and then I sold it in March this year to WBAV for £5k more than I paid for it - you could say I got greedy and cashed in due to COVID/brexit or whatever but I also fancied a change because as much as I loved it, the van was sitting on the driveway all week due to working from home and it was only getting used once at the weekend. A previous oil leak that was fixed under warranty had returned so another reason why I decided to move it on.
Went from the T6 to an F56 Mini JCW and banked the difference and I’ve had it about 7 months - although it has been fun, I still gaze longingly at every transporter that taunts me wherever I go! I’ve also concluded I am too fat and old to bend myself up to get in and out any longer
Thoughts and musings…

Thoughts and musings…
- My previous van was a Euro 5 140 Highline DSG T6 so I’ve never experienced Ad-blu - does it cause problems?
- I don’t like the 6.1 for a couple of reasons - no footrest and no manual shifting in the DSG so I’d be looking at DSG T6 vans between 2016-2019 am I right to be wary of the 204s? Biturbo? if so will probably go for a 150.
- Must be SWB as I’m not intending to sleep in it, as I didn’t in the last one, it will be a picnic bus and somewhere to get changed/make a cuppa after a walk/bike ride.
- Are all vans still rocketing in price or are they levelling off due to winter/off-season?
- Last one was a panel van that I kombi’d myself (single passenger seat, Kombi bench, side window) but this time around I might just go for a Kombi from factory and save some hassle.
