SOLD Vantage EOS, 4 months old, 400 miles - save £12,000 on new (1 Viewer)

[appledoreblue]

We are sadly having to sell our dream van - a silver Vantage EOS, registered 22 October 2019.
The Fiat warranty lasts until 21 October 2021, but you have the option of extending for another year.

Vantage motorhomes are beautifully made, and you can see the design and full spec of the EOS on their website: https://www.vantagemotorhomes.co.uk/model-range/6.36m/eos

Our EOS came with the following extras, that add over £10,000 to the list price:

• 150BHP engine upgrade
• "Comfortmatic" automatic gearbox
• Metallic paint
• Cab air conditioning
• Cruise control
• Sat Nav and reversing camera
• Alloy wheels
• Colour coded front bumper
• Fiamma 4.0m awning
• External gas BBQ point
• High gloss paint protection
• Flyscreen for sliding door
• Reading lights

A change in circumstances means that only four months after upgrading from an Elddis to this EOS, we are having to sell it. We have only spent two nights in the van - the cooker and rings have never been used, and it still has a full tank of LPG!
With only 400 miles on the clock, it is essentially a brand new van - although unfortunately we managed to put a small dink in it the day we picked it up (rear off side near roof, paint not broken - see picture below).
Current price for a new EOS with these extras is around £72,000.
Selling for £59,950 ono

Hi appledoreblue

I see you had a Vantage, they are on my shortlist (Vantage Sky).

You didn't have it long, any problems, would you recommend, any comments?

Many thanks in anticipation

Hi,

No, there were no problems with the van - it genuinely was (as I said in the ad) our dream van. It was beautifully made, and we had exactly the spec we wanted. A change in circumstances meant that there is no prospect of us doing much motorhoming for at least a couple of years, so it seemed silly to pay for storage, insurance, servicing, etc.
Vantage customer service is excellent, and they're always happy to help out over the phone if you can't remember how something works. The vans are not cheap, but it's a classic case of you get what you pay for - in this case, not bling or bells and whistles, but solid, dependable build quality.

Hope that helps!
