What do reckon my vans worth?

[61 stu]

I know its a bit 'how long is a peice of string' but any guides? I can't seem to find many to get a good guide of price.

Heres the build up thread:

Briefly -

71 SA Import RHD Sunroof Clipper Deluxe
one previous owner
10 months MOT/11 months tax
Adjustable beam/adjustable rear spring plates
Uber reliable - my daily

Any idea? :?

Cheers :mrgreen:

50p I can paypal it tomorrow when I get home.....

seriously though its worth what someones willing to pay, the sunroofs a winner to some but will scare more away, the adjustable sussies wont really add value as most will want to take care of that themselves makeing sure its both to the height they want and the standard..... rhd will deffinately be a winner....

pick a figure your happy with add a bit and get set to barter

Is this for selling or insurance purposes?

 

[61 stu]

selling maybe

 

[two benders steve]

i love it 7k

i love it 7k

I would say its too cheap at 7k seeing what some are asking for EBs these days, esp. as its RHD, although not being a camper may reduce its appeal to some.
Are there any pics of the underside? (haven't seen any on your other thread yet).
How bad is the damage to the front panel?

 

[61 stu]

i love it 7k

yeah right :lol:

Underside is mint, heavily wax-oiled from new, damage to front is superficial and if i find the time i'll repair this anyway.

I've not seen the bus in the flesh but knowing what LHD's are fetching you must be looking at somewhere in the region of £9-£10K but as Araon correctly points out its what someone else is prepared to pay for it.

I still cannot work out why Microbuses fetch less than Westys as personally I think they are more flexible,

 

[dagboyblue]

i've seen this bus in the flesh and I would lean it more to the 10k+ - a cool mo fo bus

wish i had the money and space

stu - whats going on then???

 

[easy]

Looks a good £9000+ to me dood, but the only reason microbuses dont sell for as much is people always are after a "camper" and so you are likely to get more for one of them. As Graham says they are very versitile tho and yours looks like a grand example so im sure it wouldnt hang around long if you wanted to sell. 8)

 

[Danbury Doug]

I'd say 9-10k as a guide. RHD, 'up together' and just that bit different. 8)

Just wondering if i should sell and put the money towards a new house, an extra 10-12k makes a big differance in the size of gaff we can get :?

Your Splits looking good dude 8) , surprised you want me to paint the repairs Neon pink though

ddfrosts sold on hear for £9000 ish and its looking like a good comparasen

 

[windsurfer]

Shame to sell it Stu but I understand. What you have to weigh up is the pleasure you and the family get from it against having a slightly better house. It's a tough one. It is a buyers market at the moment and having more equity in the house is such a bonus for good interest rates.

God, it really is a toughy

I would want to keep the bus but I also agree that you should get 9-10k for it, that's a good chunk of money..................to buy a white westy :lol:

If its a choice between the van and a better home for your family its a no brainer really.
Deluxes are becoming more and more popular and there are some real nice ones starting to find their way over here.
Prices are definitely creeping up as people are starting to discover that an awning and a set of bed hinges on that rear seat are an easy option for camping so you get the best of both worlds.
Best thing about deluxes is all the goodies that people covet so much and the beauty of your bus is that it has every bit intact plus a working sunroof and the ambulance step, add to that the fact its right hand drive and you have yourself a desirable machine.

I would go top end of the suggestions and ask around 11k or near offer. Raise it up a touch and put some nice hub caps on it just to give it that unmolested feel

Whatever you do its a bloody nice bus 8)
