How much is it worth

Postby Jblyth » Wed Oct 20, 2010 7:38 pm

Hi, i've got the option of buying a new transit, its a Vreg MK5, 56,000miles, full service history, there's no tax or test, it needs welding under the bonnet and the arches +back doors sorting for MOT.. what do you think, i need to make an offer, it needs to be more than scrap value, Thanks J

if u dont mind welding it or paying for it to be done then fair but i think it will need more than that doing otherwise it would be tested already :wink:

They took it for MOT and where quoted £1200 for all work done and mot, i will get the fail of them tomorrow and have a look exactly what it needs, i have a friend who can weld for me, they took it to a local truck center for its mot, they employ a full time welder so i think they like to keep him busy..

It's only really worth scrap value with no MOT or tax and that much welding required for MOT, i would look elsewhere, there are plenty of better ones about
