My friend has just brought back his new Westphalia Columbus that he has bought in Belgium. apart from a bit of mucking about getting the lights changed he will have no problems, So why was it so much cheaper than here. The price is in pounds the same as he paid in Euro.
He gave me the dealers sales pamphlet ant they sell a large range from PVCs to A class . What is surprising is that the full price in euro is almost exactly on parity to pounds throughout the whole lot, and the extras as well, the sign at the front of the prices have just transposed the £ and euro sign.
Most of these vans are imported directly by the dealers here with no actual importer taking a cut so they really are taking us for total mugs. They even ADD on the delivery and PDI charge on top of the inflated start price. I guess that I will be going over there when the time comes to buy a new one. There is just the little matter of why does a EURO change to a pound when it is about 1.40 different.
Treasure Island is alive and kicking. Maybe there is a dealer or someone at one who could explain without the bulls==t about right hand drive being expensive. It applies if you want a LHD only it brings a surcharge on top.
