OK, I know I'm a wuss that can't make up my mind, but would appreciate your knowledge!
Been offered high mileage, not french registered, no MOT & a van riddled with damp!
This one: http://www.vacancesloisirs.fr/ci-elegant-380-ar-905-pk.phtml
Equivelent £16,500.
Year 2000, 80,000 kms.
Has had timing belt replaced, looks totally sound to me. Engine quiet, nothing nasty from the exhaust. Has everything I want in it already--a reversing camera, solar panel, an oven, a nice shower room, awning. Tyres are perfect.
He won't budge on price and will only give a 3 month warranty (but the dealer who was offering me a years warranty on another vehicle was trying to sell me one with mould on the walls!)
It's £16,500. Fair price? I have to pay about €300 on top of this for registration but that'll be same on any vehicle.
I am spending hours (and a lot of miles) looking at crap---5 hour round trip to see the van with mould (he assured me it was perfect!)
Please give me your thoughts--have no-one here to bounce ideas off.
HUGE thanks.
