bought ours from a dealer on a very cold, wet and dark december day. got £2000 off and starter pack and sold it 4 years later back to the dealer for the same price. So Nov / Dec in my opinion.

Thanks just the advice I am looking for, this post saved me doing another one.

I have now sold my van and am looking at a Lunar Clubman 2011, has any one any knowledge of "Glasses" price on this van complete with motor mover?

Thanks,

Fortyfoot

THIS LINK is the nearest thing to a guide price.
Glasses Guide is the only one that does caravans, as far as I know, and as it's the "trade bible", you will not get anywhere near it! (Unless you know someone who will let you see it!)

Thanks, I used to get the previous months Glasses guide many years ago but have now lost contact with the supplier.

I will remember the above comments about "a very cold, wet and dark December day" being the best time to buy.

The spread that I have seen so far is forecourt £13,750 down to private at £10,100 for what appears to be the same 2011 van.

I will wait.

Thanks for the comments.
