I like the last line in their description "No time for silly offers"
Well I've "no time for silly prices"
I've checked it's not gold plated...and doesn't even have a cup holder !! LoL
 
Why the OMG?
it is very easy to spend huge amount on buses and want to get your money back.

Doubt they will achieve that but I be someone offers close to it.

I worked with someone that spent £28K on a late bay. People spend over £40K on a brazil new bay
 
Wouldn't be surprised if they've spent that but..................

some people

I bought mine for 6k and spent 5k on it that included panels paint new engine and og interior

but I didn't go down the vw specialist route I had friends in the trade and fitted the interior from og bits I picked up along the way

so no £3k+ vanworks interior :lol:
 
Mine's a rare colour :mrgreen: someone on the samba said so :D

Does that not mean that some vans are worth a lot more than others?

I am obv missing the lol about the interior. We are all different and all want different things. Makes it more interesting :D
 
Am I missing something here but surely the value of the bus listed is way way off? As in way way high for what it is

Just because someone has decided to pay absolute top dollar for a respray, interior and new everything else doesnt necessarily translate into ££££££££££ value added to the bus???

After seeing some of the optomistic screen prices on a few of the buses at this weekends Busfest I really think people are just chancing their arm

Looks tidy. The roof is Dormobile but the interior isn't one I have ever seen.

interior is from campshak - http://www.thecampershak.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Ergo, not a Dormobile at all then :lol:

It is priced high yes. But as i said i dare say someone will buy it for a strong price if thats what they are after.
 
If they've had all the work done for them I doubt they will make much money.

Good luck to them , I wouldn't pay it but it's not that out if the ordinary these days.
 
As with most things in life, its worth different prices to different people.

Bays are desirable/fashionable, that means that you will have a larger group of people interested, some who have some serious financial means. I had someone wanting to buy mine before it was finished, at a figure that some would say is obscene, it was not for sale then, nor is it for sale now, but what it does mean is that you need to insure it for a figure that you can replace it if the worst should happen. Good ones are not getting easier to find.
