Just bought this :)

[MarkM]

I have since got a flat tyre on the front would any body know how much it would cost me for a new one?

If it has picked up a nail or similar and it isn't in the sidewall then around £20 to have it repaired.

[wardy-uk]

I ran over a anker and its cut a L shape out of the tread

[MarkM]

Should still be able to get a part worn of the right size from a breakers for similar money

[wardy-uk]

Ive now just put it on ebay as is. Maybe the new owner will have another wheel he can put on.

[wardy-uk]

Its back on ebay and im just after the £1500 that i bought it for as I need the money quickly. i noticed a few of you think its a bit crap ( I dont mind ) and some one said I sould try get my money back. You think I would be doing any thing wrong by advertiseing it on ebay the way I have?

Cheers William

[MarkM]

Listing it as having a flat tyre will not help as the potential buyer has to swap this over before they attempt to drive it away or even test drive it. For the sake of £20ish buy one and get it on the vehicle.
Expect other questions as it has MK3/4 doors..or at the very least MK3/4 wing mirrors. The more you look at that Transit the worse it looks. the pictures you added to ebay are way smaller than the ones you used here and don't show the pieces welded onto the rear particularly clearly.
The lack of ramps is going to be a bit of a stumbling block as unless someone has a crane/forklift how the hell do you put any cars on the back of it? The unfitted winch doesn't help either.

Some fly by night WILL buy it but as I assume you made a few quid on the couple of jobs you did after getting it so I would simply take the first offer close to the £1500 you want. If you aren't getting any messages making offers it will be all the bad points I have mentioned that will be holding it back. Apples26 seems to be able to sell his recoverys trucks pretty quickly, so if you ain't get those calls then the viewers will obviously be thinking it is a dog.
Since you are asking now after it has been listed for a short while something can't be right with the listing as it 'should' have been sold by now with some kind of offer.

[MrMPuk]

To add to they above. Now that you've put a second phone number on there expect it to be removed as you are only aloud to list one.

[wardy-uk]

It sold on the second day I was just thinking more from a legal point as few people thought I had been ripped off and I did not want to be riping any one else off.

Cheers for your points thou

[MarkM]

So did 'Mick' buy it for the £1700 you asked? Or did it end up at the original £1400 offered?
Whichever figure it was you are well shot of it, look for longer and pay more next time, if there is a next time.

look for longer and pay more next time, if there is a next time.

it was offered for sale here mark before the bloke had time to take it off ebay

[MarkM]

Not what I meant,
The truck was a nail and cost that sort of money, had wardy-uk looked for longer with a better budget, sure he would have changed careers but wouldn't have had any bothers getting the truck resold.

I know it always the 'other guy' who gets the good deal on a van and that when you want a specific van they are loads to buy and when you want to sell no-one wants that version. But come on lets be honest here, iffy conversion or otherwise it was champagne money for a lemonade truck.

[wardy-uk]

I sold it for 1700. Don't think ill be going back in to moving cars to much work.

[captain hook]

"Too much work" ?

I've been doing it for 33 years now and, believe me, pushing the button

on my winch remote and moving a couple of ramps ain't hard!

When I started it was an ex-army Landrover and a Harvey-Frost

hand winch!!!! Happy days

[wardy-uk]

ok well not much work but to much hassle with pople like vosa watching out with you.

[FredTransit]

Well if you are dragging people off VOSA checkpoints what do you expect??
