Hi there 👋.

[eclipse]

Hi all,

Just joined the forums as I'm now currently in the market for a van (I did look at Transit Customs too, boo-hiss, sorry but the wet belt put me off) for the wife, 2 kids and I to adventure in post selling my 2 seater . Based in Shropshire so shall drop my requirements and hopefully some may see it, while I look through eBay and AutoTrader.

T6 Crew
Highline or Sportline
FSH (I presume this would include annual oil/filter)
DSG
Captain Seats up front
Pop-top (will likely reverse this as the wife and I preferred the height at the back)
Open on Colour
Budget is £26k for the one that ticks as many boxes as possible, as I'll then carry out the rest over the next 12/18 months.

Cheers

Welcome to the forum. Your list looks in order and your budget is good - I'd add that you need to avoid BiTurbos at any cost.

There will be options on here quite often. Try not to rush this hehe

Thanks, @Badjamin - that's the same advice I am getting off of my wife, but it's so difficult .

I did take a look at that one Tdog is selling, but have it in my head that an Auto is the way to go - given most use will be on weekends and holidays so traffic likely!

I'll drop him a message, thanks again for that link too! Could mean a good chunk of change left over to customise it to one's liking.

 

[eclipse]

Also been looking at the below vans, potentially as starting points to then change over next 18 months. Would appreciate your thoughts .

View is to book one out for a weekend - ideally with a tent bolt on to get real feel for the family and how we envisage using it, then either go part/full conversion route, or tick a few boxes and then build on in the coming months.

T6.1 so a little more refinement, but a Manual so not my preferred. Nice though.

 

[Badjamin]

How have you got on with your search buddy? You had a look at any vans yet @eclipse

 

[eclipse]

Hi all,

Found a potential - albeit a little further away, but could mean a family road trip! Would appreciate your keen-eyed thoughts if possible, as it ticks a bunch of my boxes and looks like a nice van to me.

I've an outstanding query ref service history, but the reviews of the garage sound great so expect a reply soon, otherwise I'll phone when I am able. When I find the "one" I'll also be sending the AA or similar to give it a once over too.

At a glance... not sure about full leather roof rails... but it looks pretty!

, yes. Perhaps some punctuation would have helped there.

T6.1 as I understand it, so a little more refined (apparently?)
ACC listed, which is nice
Bodywork looks in good condition
Not sure on Auto folding mirrors, which would be a nice addition as I do like an auto folding mirror

As a 2021 highline, it almost certainly has folding mirrors... though always best to ask if that's important to you.

Thanks, Bav.
Certainly not a necessity, but a nice to have as I read you'd be looking at over £1k for aftermarket, which is crazy.

It should have had the DSG serviced by now (5yrs/40k). Something to check in the history/receipts.

Dealer confirmed service at 23k, 36k and 51k miles, all at Volkswagon so would VW schedule dictate the DSG service? I shall still check though, ty.
