I don't know anything about this make.. but it does seem very cheap to me.... it is in good condition, low mileage, only one owner.... what is the new price ?
 
It does seem cheap, dealer price is about £32000, not sure what the new price was
 
My brother had an Adria, great van and good back up if you need parts and gaining market share all the time. Can't comment on this exact van but I would buy Adria.

Thanks for that, I`ve requested some more photos so we`ll see what they show, the only doubt is the strange patch between the hob and the sink, its not on other specimens I`ve googled. Apart from that it ticks all the boxes internally, but I`m at a loss as to how good the engines are, or payload ect.

Good thinking, Starting to make sense now, wife said it looks raised slightly, maybe a tile, I thought nooooo, I never thought of hot pots, could be a sign of someone looking after the van.
 
Worked on a lot of vans this square is something you can do with a router when a can of beans falls out the locker and damages the worktop just inlay a nice patterned tile andy
 
I have a Adria vision and can say their build quality is excellent, the wife took to the slide out pantry big time:cool1: and after checking out the rapido/hymers/ and other assorted MH we kept coming back to
The Adria,
Ours is on a Renault master chassis and had a few problems that I sorted, but most would be on the fiat ducato and their is loads of information about them on here and other forums,
If the layout suits you them I am sure you won't be disappointed with the build quality,
 
We also had an Adria vision. I thought the build quality was poor with things breaking all the time.mainly small items catches blinds door locks. Not major but upsetting considering price.
Also found difficulty finding a good dealer up north.ended up with one in Midlands but he never managed to sort out faulty step under warranty so got rid of it in part exchange. Just our experience and have similar with swift and authorial .
Maybe check you have someone near who can help and get parts first?
 
Just looked at the advert and it on a Renault chassis so thought I should add that my problems were relatively minor, usual brakes discs/ pads and remove VT turbo unit to clean because of low mileage and usage,
my vision layout is very similar to your Adria and can truthfully say even after going to the Düsseldorf show last year there wasn't another MH that ticked as many boxes as ours, if you do purchase I am sure you won't be disappointed,
 
The tin of beans causing a ding seems even more feasable, we just sold our bailey senator arizona caravan which we had for 4 years, and we had a lunar roadstar 620 van for the 4 years before that, it seems the norm to have problems with them, we had the same with the lunar and the bailey, and a friends brand new bailey MH has been back the the dealer numerous times since he got it.

Thanks for that, same here, ive been looking for a few months and now looking even harder since the caravans gone and this one ticks the boxes too, apart from solar panels and a self seeking sat dish, so fingers crossed
 
We have the Adria Matrix M680SP low-profile on a Ducato with garage, pull-down bed etc. It's very similar to this one in terms of layout and we love it. As per the OP's comment, it just ticked all the boxes on our wish list and we had to have it. No regrets.
 
Ref the price it's being sold through motorhome depot I have been looking at selling mine with them and buying in Germany they charge about 10% and you have to sign up for a three month contract if you withdraw early the 10% is payable as a fee so it's advisable to set the price low, it is also still a private sale so no warranty etc all they do is take the photos and advertise it van stays with you and you show it etc so would expect a few thou below a dealers price,
 
Take a look at this dealer's feedback before travelling

  • Body damage well described,fridge,Truma heater, and satellite ariel all broken
  • my offer was accepted when the item was already sold....please remove me off it!
  • not to be trusted does not return calls or emails buyer beware
I'd be very reluctant to deal with a company with only 94% +ve feedback.

My eyes are not that good but I thought it was an A4 folder that had just been left on there, (van specs or something) the edge looks slightly rippled and if I was going to inlay a tile I would at least centralise it

I did wonder the same,why it wasn't centred...OK its an A4 folder for putting hot pots on then:)
 
Thanks for all the replies and tips folks, really appreciate it, the strange patch was an inset tile for placing a hot pan on, spot on Tezza. I`m going to sleep on it and decide tomorrow, its in Tarleton near Preston, so a 750 mile trip just to look at it, the joys,,,,,,,,,,,,,
 
I had a Izola 687SPG, mine was the automatic 150 bhp version with alloy wheels. Did many trips abroad down to Spain, Portugal, France. Never had any real problems. Seat cushions weren't that comfortable had mine replaced under warranty but the new set wasn't much better. Had mine plated at 3850 MGW tax was cheaper at £165. I paid £35000 for mine brand new in 2008, managed to get almost £30k when I part ex'd 3 years later. Overall I would say I we were pleased with the van.
