I was wondering if anyone could give any advice on what sort of price to put my VW Camper (viking) for sale at. A couple of years back it had a brand new VW engine (£1500) and has only done a few miles since, It will have 12 months MOT and we have just had the complete front wheel arches replaced and one of the rear ones. It has original interior, cooker, fridge and sink all working a double bed, 2 bunks and a cot bed. There are a few bits of rust on the body work but all in all its quite tidy although I did paint it  by hand!  I paid £2000 for it 3 years ago but we havent really had enough use out of it so I am very reluctantly going to sell! I,m really not sure what price to put on it because of all the work we,ve had done.

If anyone can offer any advice I would be very grateful.

Thanks very much,  Leah

You don't say what year model it is. If its a Bay window (68-79) then it is a desireable model. Given you're description it sounds like it's in reasonable condition but it's hard to tell without looking. I recently (last month) sold my 79 Viking for £7300 but it was in excellent nick. I am a VW nut and would be happy to speak to you regarding this 07863 358 177.

You have obviously spent a lot over the last 3 years but it might be worth spending a bit more on a new paint job. If it looks tatty (but solid) it won't realise much (maybe £3000) but if the paintwork is good and the chassis is sound then you could easily make £6500 -£7500. I could have sold it half a dozen times in the last month for you. I run the Kingdom Vee Dub Klub website and a picture of my old van is on there.

Hi thanks for your reply,

Yes it is a bay window 79, sorry forgot to put that. I think a paint job would up the price but will I be able to sell it when I see it looking all smart! I will look into it might be worthwhile,

Thanks Leah
