Help needed please!

Postby smithie » Tue Aug 18, 2009 1:09 pm

I am about to get rid of my van.

It is a white Ford Transit 1995 LWB with approx 158,000 miles on it (I can guarantee the last 47,000 as I've driven them!)

It has tax to the end of August and Mot till Sep 8th.

It is an excellent runner and I've definitely seen worse body-wise.

The bad news is it needs new disc brakes/pads and I would imagine a couple of tyres at least for a new MOT.

Can anyone give me a realistic idea of what I could ask for it ?

To me it would make more sense to do those little jobs before you sell it. It will sell for a bit more with a years mot

I have been quoted £190 for the braks work so it ain't worth it by the time I put on some tyres etc.....
