why do you all do this i wouldnt fall for it.

either go to a dealer or buy near to where you live.

you will be saving in the long run,

i wouldnt trust e bay either

Read all the above with interest.

We have the exact opposite problems.

Our van is up for sale. It is advertised with photographs. (not on ebay). Is described honestly and priced competitively. So far we have stayed in on two occasions to show our van by appointment and on both occasions no one turned up.

We have had numerous requests for more photographs which is fair. I have even supplied a link to a video.

We also have had "we like you ad. and your van is exactly what we are looking for. Would you accept £2000 less?" Thats without seeing it of course!

I thought it must be a buyers market, but from what you guys have been experiencing then I am not so sure.

I know you can still have problems  even with new.

but stay near to home so that you can complain if you need . i think thats why i have always gone to dealers because if my old van has had a problem i wouldnt like to pass it on privately, also when you buy from a dealer you can have a small warenty and have some problems sorted if need be.

damp is the biggest worry wth second hand vans. even when they are not very old. this can be very costly to repair. i know my local  dealer was very fussy about the condition of  a van to be part exchanged.

our van was 5 years old when we changed it. even though it was in good condition i didnt like the idea of selling it second hand just in case.

there must be lots of people like me out there which means not many second hand van being available.
