Does this look like good value or dodgy?

[Sharon the Cat]

My brother is looking at buying a small van but I'm no judge of what is a good deal these days.

Gumtree T4 Camper Ad

To me that looks like an AI generated Advert Sharon.

The pictures look a bit too clean and the text sounds typical AI. I could be wrong though, I usually am!

...maybe I should have said 'AI enhanced' rather than 'Generated'.

Hey Rob, I appreciate the input. I'm good at spotting scams but seem to have a bit of a blind spot when it comes to dodgy van ads. I've had a better look at it now.
They are a bona-fide company, just a broker, that has been in business for 8 years. I think they have let AI write their copy for them, definitely over the top. The van is in Emsworth, where he lives, so it might be worth him making contact and see if any alarm bells ring.

Looks a nice van Sharon, I have no idea on values either though!

If I know my brother he will research it to the nth degree. Provided he stays away from his laptop when he's had a beer, he'll be sensible.

I think the pictures are genuine Rob. The backgrounds match and they show correctly through the windows too, the evening light is always coming from a consistent angle as well. The parking is very dodgy though!

Saw this on ebay, time near up, handy for 2 people.

Perfectly acceptable for dodgy back street dealers

The VW campers tend to be gold plated, Renault traffic or vauxhall vivaro are same size and layout but significantly less money. Long wheelbase gives a bit of usefull extra room and still fits in most parking bays.
