Place to sell or trade in transit MK7/advice on repairs?

Postby Jayrol251 » Tue Jul 25, 2017 2:01 pm

Hello,

I bought a MK7 56 plate 4 years ago for £5.5K
A year later the engine dropped its oil.
Paid over £3K for another engine.
Now the air con is broken, 4th gear has slipped and the exhaust needs welding to engine.
Fortunately its still running fine! However I'm think I should sell it to someone that fixes them up before its next MOT.

I'd be very grateful for any advice on what to do and how much my van may be worth. Its ex RAC with a lifting back door and spotlights in the back etc

My local garage told me the engine itself is in good condition and the cost of fixing is mainly down to the time taking it all apart to get the Cat replaced/welded etc. (Im not very technical so am trying to repeat what the mechanics have told me.)

Perhaps someone knows of a place that would give me a decent amount for the van so I could just get a smaller thing for my business and stop throwing money at the transit?

Also please let me know if this post would be better suited to another area on the forum

Cheers
Jay

Thanks in advance

Add pictures and be as descriptive and honest as you can, don't put a silly price because you'll get shredded.
Saw a 61 plate sport and they wanted like 15k or something stupid for it :lol:
Stay safe too regards meeting ppl etc.
