Hi Teenmal

I think the roof would be covered as its broken, however I'm not sure if theres an initial excess to pay, the radiator isn't broken so doesnt qualify for replacement.... But for such an old vehicle its excellent and something I've never seen at any other bongo dealer.

Thanks for the link. The mot is incredibly clean, although maybe too clean to be fully believed ( i know I'm impossible to please) the only down side is the rear kitchen is definetly not on the wanted list.... I would have to remove it to unconverted again, looks home made so no value in it either. But i'll maybe ask him some questions.....

At the end of the day its your Money, I am sure with your knowledge and skills that you will end up with a very good vehicle for not a lot of cash.

Good Luck in your hunt.

Rich,
Calder campers on auto trader 8 seats AFT diesel £2995 with warranty may be a better bet than the one you were looking at with dodgy brakes and rusty arches, however I would be tempted to go for the one in Wales £3050 or neares offer with "absolutely no rust" "upgraded to larger vehicle must sell!"

Jim, do you have a link to this vehicle, this Dealers usually stocks sell very good vehicles but tend to be a bit on the steep side.I would like a look at the one you mentioned.

Good Luck.

Try a post in the Welsh section to see if there is anyone living near the seller who could give this Bongo the once over for you. Save you a long expensive trip if it is a dud.

Just looking over the past few posts definetly some confusion, and looks like on my part for not being very clear with my posts ( lack of coffee ) I've spotted the calder van on Auto trader and will head that way over the next week to look at it, however if the van at £3050 in wales is an aft and private sale i would probably be more interested in that..... I'm assuming its the tin top on bongo mart though?


Thanks

And sorry for the confusion

Richard
