we are about to change vans, and seeing one in a dealers that seemed fine in pics and they agreed a price for ours we travelled to look it was a fixed bed sprite. when we got there the door was open on the van as all salespersons were busy. we went i to look firstly one of the drawer fronts was broke, the kitchen sink cracked the pull down blind near kitchen was full of grease, so we went away, onwards to a dealers and nothing suitable there. then tues we saw a advert for another van a later version of our swift a 480. ( by this time we had gone off having a fixed bed ) travelled 70 miles, to a small dealers, no salesmen there just someone keeping an eye on stock, he opened the van door but was watching like a hawk, he couldn,t find key to open the lockers so he phoned the owners and he said bring van down for tradein price. so agreed time and date towed van there, straight away hes looking at a few dings low down so i went to inspect the other van only been there a minute and there was a bad crack on rear panel the gel coat was broke and it was cracked enough to let water behind, i went to get the salesman and he said my van was dry and i said i am not having a deal and i showed him he said ho that can be fixed, i said not for me it ain't well its dry inside as its double skinned i said lets go inside in the corner was the shower cubicle and i said how can your damp meter test the wall through plastic and left him. they advertised all vans go through a fine tooth comb inspection, any way i found another 480 but a year younger but one elderly owner from new sericed every year and £3000 cheaper complete with everything just a few minor blemishes inside which i can put right, and the dealers are doing some bits for me. it was worth waiting for. but they would only give basic trade price for our van so i have advertised it on this website and others but if not sold then it will be traded in this coming thurs. its a swift archway woodford 2001. 2 berth
