Ian don't let the buyer beat you down on the price the buyer has already made their mind up that they are buying your van as they would not travel that far and book in for a night if they hadn't.

Happy New Year Ian.
Hope the sale goes well and you get the full price you’ve asked for.
You’re not the only one that will be sad that Helga is off to a new home.
She’s been a large part of Fun for so long.

How are your buyers paying, bank transfer ?
As said, don't accept any requests for discount on imaginary defects.
Hope it all goes well.
Cancel RFL online , unfortunately I think you'll have to pay until end of January.

Happy New Year, Ian, you'll always have fond memories of Helga but the next stage of your life is beckoning. We wish you lots of luck, reckon you'll love having a new pad to call home

Good luck today Ian, hope it all goes smoothly on the sale, and remember if he tries to knock you down, the second word is "Off". Have a good new year.

ianthebuilder not trying to tell you how to suck eggs.
If they are paying cash make sure you check all the notes with a special pen and have someone with you.
If bank transfer make sure it’s cleared funds prior to handing over the keys.
Also you can’t sell a vehicle with RFL on it so strictly speaking that should be cancelled.
Hope all goes well ?

Try and get the new owners to join Fun, that’s if they aren’t already, then you can keep an eye on Helga.
Our love and best wishes to you Ian.

Bad day to sell is bank holiday for the money side of the transaction, be careful.

Well I’m writing this with nothing but a tear in my eye!!
they came up from Cornwall, arrived just after 1 pm had two hours with me, and paid up and drove off ,, he even had the soddin check to drive off in an immaculate Helga, with my cheese and bacon still in the fridge,, and what’s more the bastard even waved!!
On the plus side, really nice couple, will look after her lovely!
so officially homeless now! Hopefully only till 3rd!
I shall have to think about a new thread title!
Any ideas!

Bet you've got real mixed feelings this evening Ian.
Sadness at seeing Helga disappear over the horizon, and now a new beginning to coincide with a new decade! You certainly know how to do things in style...
I've thoroughly enjoyed all your adventures to date, and sincerely hope you'll keep posting regularly on here so your virtual and real friends can stay in touch. Thanks for all the smiles and banter.
Best of luck with the flat and the new job; and Happy New Year too.
Cheers, Mike
