Go to google, type in gebrauchtewohnmobile.de
Open it up and click the British flag for the English version. There are loads to choose from. Knocking them down by €2000 is standard practice. Hope this helps.

Anything must be better than buying one from Brownholes!

Thanks David & Anne
The motorhome i am getting is being brought in by the dealer in Germany so i assume they would have to have the export papers in order.
I am not sure what papers they should bring in with them for me to register it in the uk.
They did drop the price by 1500 euros if i was going over to pick it up myself
but because they are bringing it over for me they have dropped it by 500 euros,which i thought was ok,at least they have not added it on.

Good idea! Support with that idea.

I purchase my Hymer B754 through Nick Legg at Motorcaravan Importers, Secondhand Motorhomes - Bundesvan about 30 months ago. He interviewed me over the telephone to help me to find the type of M/H that I needed/wanted. When I met him, he showed me a couple of brochures of M/H's that he felt fitted the bill. He was spot-on.
Hope this post is of some help

undHi
just paid for our Hymer Exsis 482 Silver (unregistered) bought in Dortmund..Its the 2009 model with the ford 2.2tdci engine with the 6th gear..the vin no shows made end 210 Hymer have discontinued this model..List prec was 63885 euros.(we saw similar in France for 69000 E.
We bought for 4699 E including 19% vat at 7503E
in England we have to pay 7844 E vat.but
will get the 7503 E because it is new vehicle less than 6000 Km
I registered online at a fourex site bought my euros yesterday( the bank rate was 1.1374) I managed to get 1.189 on 44000 odd
.so total cost is 39670 pounds (there is a 270 euro price for insurance and German plates) we can get a coach from Plymouth to Dortmond for 114 pounds for two (over 70s) It means a 24 hour ride, but flying from Luton means a 5.40 start.and a 6 hr coach from the Raime
So ich bin zere begeistert !!!!!!

A very big thank you to all club members..I have trolled and gathered info here to make this little event painless (pretty lucerative) and successful A thanks also to Ulrich and Co at Dortmund whose English is impecable.
