Hi everyone

Brand new to this campervan business and looking to get a Bongo. I've done a bit of research but am finding it all a wee bit confusing. I like the look of this van but really don't know if this is a fair dealer price or otherwise. Any advice on the Bongo below would be greatly appreciated.
