What's it worth (another)

[Sackmycook]

So, the Mrs has been looking at a van and displaying a healthy interest in buying !!

It's on FB Marketplace !! But seems pretty genuine so far.

We have a LeisureDrive Vivante 2013 on a T5.1 SWB 84ps.

Looks in reasonable condition for the age.
Low mileage of around 39,000 showing 6 owners in its lifetime, last 2 from same family over last 5 years.
Partial service history, but MOT'S check out fine. No evidence of a cambelt and water pump change.

It's up at £20k in Chatham area, miles from me unfortunately.

Any opinions gratefully entertained

 

[Sackmycook]

.....and I know it won't be breaking any speed records but nor do I these days

 

[Badjamin]

I'd say avoid FBMP but if it's rare the GLW shows interest it may be worth the gamble.

GLWP

39,000 miles with 6 owners rings alarm bells but I suppose people do buy these campers with all intentions of using them and rarely do and then sale on

 

[Sackmycook]

Agreed, looks like it's been around the 3k miles per year mark since 2017.

I live 5 mins from Chatham. Is it a private sale?

Yes.....have you seen it ?

 

[CAB]

I think 20k is reasonable.

High top or side elevator?

 

[dandan88]

Yes.....have you seen it ?

I haven’t no, I don’t have fb to check it out etc

 

[Sackmycook]

Hightop, T26 83

Here she is.......price agreed !
Going to get someone in the area to view (the seller more than the van) before I arrange to collect.

[Sackmycook]

Not counting my chickens just yet; I'm risk averse !!
But first thing is to get some nice newish Devonports slammed on

 

[Sackmycook]

.....and re-join as VIP of course

 

[Sackmycook]

I have a feeling my prospective purchase is going 't1ts up' !
Not unreasonably I asked for a photo of the V5, with which the seller said he would send it by the evening. Not heard back since......

So, off to see a T6 LeisureDrive Vivante SE on Thursday, in West Yorkshire. Reasonable mileage on a 17 plate Startline conversion with aircon, wind-out awning and towbar. Pure grey is looking good with the black bumpers.

More money but the Chief Accountant seems strangely agreeable.....

 

[JumpShip]

That desperately needs a set of wheels on it better colour aswell

[Sackmycook]

Definitely going to be in the market for a set of Devondavenports but not at the other end of the country.....

I tend to agree with the Chief Accountant on this one

 

[The Flying Scotsman]

I tend to agree with the Chief Accountant on this one

Me too
And the Devonports
