Huge van | Should buy?

Postby Spright » Fri Aug 24, 2018 4:13 pm

Hello friends!

I'd like to hear your opinion about the following offer, based in Germany:

https://www.autoscout24.de/angebote/for ... cldtidx=14

A huge Kombi FT 300 L Trend van with 11 sits. Year 2011, one previous owner, allegedly well serviced, from a dealer. Price: 6,300 Pound.

For someone about to upgrade from a Ford Galaxy, the amount of space here is mind boggling. How will I ever be able to park this thing?

What bothers me: windows at the rear can't be opened. My kid gets nausea and loves to have lots of wind... I hear the window can be replaced with a sliding one?

And the bunks: can the backrest be folded, as in most cars? Superficial inspection didn't reveal this. Despite the huge amount of space at the back, it's nice to be able to fold the rests, in case of transporting long planks etc.

What are important points to look out for? Is the price reasonable? Do you predict this van to be reliable, or rather a bottomless pit of repair? (or something in between).

Thanks and greetings from Germany.
