Crazy miles or potential good value?

Thoughts?

Nice van, just under 100,000 miles is not a deal breaker if it was minded well (I'm no expert)
We considered importing, the costs were too much, we were lucky to get a 2020 Burstner Campeo 600 already cleared and registered in Galway, it was imported from Germany about 2 years ago.


the price is tempting, but with a flight over and a ferry back, plus our unfair VRT system, it can be expensive

There are dealers importing similar vehicles and selling including VRT costs, most are legit dealers, some are "Arthur Daly's"

A lot of ex rental stuff in Germany hence the high miles. Only have the standard licence so going above the 3500kgs not an option. A good few models come in at 7.2 to 7.4m whether it’s Sunlight \ Weinsberg \ Knaus \ Dethleffs \ Adria \ Carado.

A well used van ( hire van) dead give away heigh milage, basic fit out, no solar, a lot of the same month/year vans on the market at this time. here is one near same money. Half the milage, but still at 40k, kilometres, too heigh, who sells a 2 year old van.

But also look at the amount of month 02 that are for sale. Why?

If you are looking in Europe. Put 25% onto the asking price.
If you still thing your getting what you want and can afford go for it. It's not difficult.

The Sums.
VRT based on a similar van to the one your looking at
( Condron Camper Co. Carlow. FORSTER T699 EB LOW Profile) €80. ( the VRT could be lower)

€ 52k + 10k VRT + 1k ferry etc. + 1k ins, tax, Cvrt, kitting out,
1k for flights B&B to go look it over. ( I would suggest a few trips, to be sure of spend of that size.)
The big question is is €65k good value for something that is around €80k here.???

My van was valued €12k more than I paid for it. Did I get good value,? But I got a lot more than I could get here.

Have a look at this broker in France, it wil give you an idea of some prices,

Your future dream’s cud very easily be a current nightmare, I was in this van the other week ( done deal Armagh campervans) benimar mileo 2019, read the whole add. I seen the van sitting in a car garage when I was in looking at a car for daughter, i knew it was to good to be try but not this bad , unbelievable, it’s put me off a bit on buying first mh,then if you look on Down, there’s an auto trail for what looks to be decent money for year and a lovely van but look at his fotos, honestly it’s a minefield
