Secondhand Values

Postby Spooky_b329 » Wed Mar 25, 2009 7:21 pm

Hopefully be in a position to buy a van in the next 2-3 months, looking for a Jumbo 125, '04 on, in good nick as it'll be used for a camper conversion. The girlfriend has also stated it must have a passenger airbag so suitable vans will be few and far between unless I can find a step-by-step guide to retrofitting the kit!

Anyway, I'm guessing van prices are dropping at the moment due to the economy, if anyone is 'in the trade' are prices expected to continue falling? What sort of deals could I expect to haggle for if I buy from a trader?

Thanks

Yeh, I reckon only about 1 in 40 or so have them! Its a pain as even the higher spec vans with electric everything don't have them.
