We have recently sold our caravan as following our move to Cornwall we found that we just did'nt use it. So we are looking for a van to replace it and I spotted this which seems too good to be true. Is it?

Probably. Worth about £17,000? why would they sell it for £4900.
Seller is an ebay member since aug 2010 in USA. I'd be very suspicious but send a message and ask to view. See what you get.

Definitely. I wonder if he's put it on as a classified ad and missed out a number or thought he'd put it on as an auction, although it would still be a risk to start it at that price.
66,000 miles in 7 years though? Seems a lot. And a new timing belt already?
Personally, I think I'd steer clear.

66k in 7 years - well below average mileage. This is a conversion so used to be a commercial vehicle.
I have asked about viewing. No response yet.

I know someone else that spotted it. They asked for a viewing and the buyer refused! Said they would deliver once cash was paid. Run away.....................

Always work on the principle that if it seems too good to be true, then it probably is. Stay away from it.

As Whatamess(Nora) said earlier, perhaps they've just missed a number off?..,
...maybe the "1" from the beginning of the price? (..making it £14,900).

I'd steer clear of it as well, but 66, 000 miles in 7 years is not that much. And also, timing belts need replacing after 5 years, whether a vehicle has done the mileage or not.

i saw the same last year a 20 grand motorhome on for 5 grand buy it now
the users ebay account had been hacked
they hack ebay accounts that are not used very often or dormant that seller wont have anything to do with it
they always want payment into a bank account in another country or via paypal (which will be another hacked account)
