Possible Motorhome Purchase

[mi1ne]

New poster to this section, and have been looking for a motorhome for a while. Everything from brand new to quite old.

I'm new to motorhomes and never owned one, it would only be for myself the girlfriend and the dog and would be in the uk most of the time, highlands, west coast scotland and the odd motorsport event, BSB, BTCC etc.

This has popped up on ebay a few miles from me and because prices seem to vary so vastly I thought I would ask on a rough guess on what it might be worth.

I might just go along for a look, and try and view a good few others whilst I save up some more funds.

Cheers,

Paul

I'm no expert, but I wouldn't have thought it would be much more than around 8k???

I've just bought a coachbuilt on a sprinter chassis and took a long time to get a feel for what the things roughly priced at.

I'd be just a little sceptical about it being the very first item they've sold and the fact they've only had it a year. Might be fine, but they have no feedback and they're shifting it on quickly.

My only other bit of advice is to go over everything with a fine toothcomb. Although I'm praying mine's ok, even if just for peace of mind, get it checked professionally as I missed an awful lot when I bought mine and it's costing me a fair bit now.

Will do cheers, I'm pretty sure this one wont be the one I'll buy. But good to go see a few I suppose.

Good point regarding feedback, I just put that down to it possibly being an old couple with no ebay experience. (Not that older folks cant use ebay of course)

Looks quite tidy, home conversion/semi pro so that and the age mileage limits value.

Under £5k, quite possibly a fair bit under as non factory conversions don't sell well.

It deeply, deeply irks me when back garden jobs are called Autosleepers, that van definitely had nothing to do with the manufacturer Autosleeper.
