sounds daft, but have to tried your local freecycle? i got a nice LDV LWB a few year ago, just for this reason..

i hate volvo's :)
 
me and freecycle never get on but wil give it another bash!! and i love my ovlov!! :( dont want to sel it if im being honest
 
If it's going to be your only vehicle, don't go too large or you will regret it in fuel costs and parking difficulties.
 
how cheap is cheap???

what are you looking for and how much are you willing to pay???

I am going to be selling my Fiat Ducato very soon as we just dont use it.

It needs some jobs doing, but I am struggling for time for the next few months.

With 12 months Mot and no faults I would sell it for £2500.

As is I would take £1600

Its got a bit of filler in it and these points are bubbling, I was going to rub them down and repaint them.

The engine has just had new filters and oil change, plugs and HT leads, but needs a tune up, we did a compression test and alls well with it.

The gearbox linkage is prone to wear on these, this has been repaired and needs some final adjustment.
It has a toilet, hob, grill etc, 240 v hook up.



The inside is spot on to be honest that’s what made us buy it as its far more modern than 1987, I did speak to Richard Holdsworth who owned the conversion company, he told me it’s a rare top of the range lay out.

The speedo dosnt work.

Side door lock plays up ( I have another one)

I also have a good selection of spares available as a job lot if he is interested?

For £1600 if you are good at DIY it’s a bargain as it just needs time spent on it
 
Don't know where you live, but we're lucky in living near a motor auctions. You can pick up a decent 02/03 plate van for not much more than £1000, FSH etc....

Good idea but dont forget to budget for all the bits and bobs you need to fit it out as it soon mounts up, best to but a donor camper or caravan
