Simon there is a magazine that lists prices but it is only published once a year so may not be in WH Smiths any more.  I know some members have it and will come along with a price for you soon.

Meanwhile, stick it in the free ads on here.

Best thing to do is visit the Caravan Dealers to see what price they are wanting for a van which is the same as yours.  This will at least give you a Ball-Park figure.

To you maybe. Why not ask the dealer to sell on commission basis. If he can make a bigger profit on selling yours than his own, he may take it on. Or put it on the selling section on this site, and you may get the offer you want.

I'm not surprised the dealer offered you so little.  We just missed a Bailey Indiana which had been offered to a dealer - and then the owner decided to sell privately for £1,000 more than the dealer had offered - and it was still almost £4,000 less than you could have bought it second-hand from the dealer themselves.  We kicked ourselves for not going for it at the time!

Have a look on some of the caravan sales websites, and see what sort of figures are being asked - and good luck, sorry you're having to sell.  There's a 2007 for sale at £8,750.

We were offered £8k for our Bailey Bordeaux 2005 we paid £11,500 new.

I think you need to take off at least the VAT you paid on purchase.

Contact your insurance company and ask them what the market value is - they have the data.

I've had the same issue - my van is 16 months old - wanted to swap it for a different layout - the dealer (who I bough the van from in the first place offered me £9,500 for a £15,500 van bought new in November 2007 - outrageous.

Needless to say I'm not swapping now.

It's like buying a new car, you take a massive financial hit as soon as you drive off the dealer's forecourt.
