I’d walk away. High mileage, rattles, rust, no service history….
Have you experience of campervans and/or T6s before to know what you really need and what works for you? If not I’d suggest hiring a couple to get a feel for what actually works. I wanted a sliding rear seat and got one. It’s great to have all your luggage behind it….until you need to make the bed! You might find the same, or you may use it totally differently.
I’d also recommend a good search through the forum. There are several known issues (e.g. DPF, EGR, DMF…) and things people find they want to upgrade (headlights, suspension, leisure electrics…). Good luck with the search.
I've had a Wedge in the past and hired a swb T6 camper a couple of years ago. We decided we need a full width bed and aren't bothered about units. If that changes I can build something. But sometimes I will need more room in the back, sometimes I'll need the passengers to be closer to the front. I really want a caravelle as a starting point but they are way out our league for a lwb euro 6. I've built a conversion for a customer based on a Berlingo where I did everything so I've got a little experience but I'm always open to advice.I’d walk away.

That’s great . So many people dive in without trying out what actually works for them first.

Proper lolled at thatours is a 5 speed mapped to 150, soon sorted that with a 6 speed gear knob!
I’m constantly finding that out the hard wayBuying the van is only the first problem, soon you will know all the local couriers by name , at that stage you know it’s too late to turn back
Even scrolling this forum becomes alot more expensive than the membership fee
Is that why she's now your ex?When I had the wedge both me and my now ex had beetles. At my first VW rally a guy with a beautiful splitscreen advised me to "get out now.... It's a disease!"
This has much better mileage it’s LWB and has loads of nice bits on it.When I had the wedge both me and my now ex had beetles. At my first VW rally a guy with a beautiful splitscreen advised me to "get out now.... It's a disease!"
