Campervan prices

[harbcamper]

Hello
I'm really keen on getting a campervan (quite like a T5, would still be happy with a Bongo), however, it looks to me that prices are somewhat inflated at the moment. Granted i've not looked for a few years as I've not had the cash until now, but i remember seeing VW's for 15/16k with decent interiors, pop up roofs etc. Now it seems as though i'd be lucky to get much change out of 25k for something similar.

This is a general question - but what with the understandably high demand at the moment, are people noticing higher prices. I'd be happy to wait a year or so for things to die down (begrudgingly) if it meant saving 3 or 4k.

Cheers

Yeah prices are certainly high at the moment. Self contained stay at/near home holidays are making a lot of sense to people since covid reared its ugly mug so sales are through the roof. I dare say there is still bargains to be found somewhere though.

Does 95k mile VW T5 camper with fairly new condition conversion, with pop-top roof for £20k seem massively overpriced?

2006 model by the way

20k for a motorhome/camper for a 2006 model is about right at the moment . We paid 21k for our motorhome at the end of 2019 . I now see similar or older models for around 25k so that’s the kind of increase that has happened .

Thanks - by about right, do you mean that a vw 2006 model in 2019 would have been about 15k?

New prices have gone up a lot over the last 7 years our van was £36,350 they are 10k more now

I have been converting/upgrading campervans/motorhomes for a while now and this time last year I could buy a VW for at least £4,000 less than now... I have turned my attention to the Nissan Elgrand and Toyota Alphard as I can give a much better product for less money as I honestly believe these are much more for your Pound..

The price doesn't seem bad for year, but the mileage is pretty high

Unfortunately VW campers do hold their price, one of our daughters has a 1996 and put a new engine in it last year, they love it and wouldn't want anything else, before that they had a old VW golf convertible.
I would prefer something with a bathroom and more self sufficient. Bob.
