What do y'all reckon is the second hand value of an 8 year old thermopure 650L van mounted system is?

LOL soapy. Thats what Im trying to figure out.. I know what the vans worth so whats the kit in the back worth...
in other words is it worth the asking price for a startout?

[Michael Peterson]

i do like it and i dont....

i like it that it looks pretty nice and the guy has owned it from new so you know he will have serviced it and everything so you look to have a safe bet with the van at a pretty good milage.

you have a nice looking thermopure system which are expensive and really handy with hot water etc.

however if you kitted a van out yourself you could get a hell of a van for 5000 these days

i would probably be a bit tempted at 5500 dints ect never bother me anymore the nicest looking vans ive had have been the worst give me a workhorse anyday.

also i never look at makes anymore i think every van is individual

[Michael Peterson]

looking again, it does look prett ygood lol good year good milage good system

[formb]

Can't be a million miles off at the asking price I reckon.

The van must be worth 4ish with mileage that low...

Ring him up, tell him politely, you will be there in a couple of hours with 5 grand cash. No muckin about. He's clearly either upgrading or moving on so I think you got a good chance. Either way I'm sure he will break a sweat if he decides to turn you down.

thanks peeps some good insights there.. I think Ill go look it.. when I did the sums based on kitting out a similar aged van and putting some livery on it I came out at near that without the thermopure ..

[Michael Peterson]

i think its a good listing as well hes listed everything dints etc, but i still think it looks really nice

I think the van looks naff inside  why no boarding up the sides?? why no speed lineing up the sides ?

maybe there wouldnt be any dents if the borading went right the way though out the van ?? who the hell buys a brand new van and doesn't get it kitted out from the off a skin flint so if hes saved 25 pounds on two sheets of ply god knows what else hes tried to save on bet it hasn't had a gearbox yet ??

[Dave Willis]

No ply in my van - you don't need it, you're not carrying anything that's going to smack the sides. Don't need speedliner up the sides either. Only small advantage of ply would be slight insulation properties other than that you will be lugging unessesary weight around. I'd go have a look. Renaults can be trouble though.

[Jim Waugh(Albright & Shiny)]

reliabilty is a bit of a concern... any guidance on the big issues with them?

[Dave Willis]

Early vans of that type are known for gearbox failure especially the six speed I believe. I have a feeling they were fixed around that year or just before. Most vans have their own problems. Apart from the Hiace (can't find anything on them).

You'll pay over a grand for a purefreedom tank alone if you kitted a van out. Ionics even more.

[Michael Peterson]

loads of aa vans are those so cant be all bad

[Jim Waugh(Albright & Shiny)]

thats it decided Im going for a look. Ill tell you what its like after I have had a peek..

[p1w1]

haven't plyed mine out either no need to

[Susan Dean (1stclean)]

haven't plyed mine out either no need to

eh no need to ??  I wouldn't have a van that's not ply lined why would you pay over 20k  for a van and not ply it out the first time something fell over and dented the van you would wish you had spent the 33 pounds on two bits of ply rather then 100 pounds on dent removal or 1500 pounds worth of side repaint

spend your money your tight gits lol

eh yeah no need to...organize your stuff properly & secure  and nothing will fall over.. nothing to do with money

[Dave Willis]

Why put speedlining up the sides too?
