Hi all. Just wondering what you guys reckon my 1997 r reg 190 lwb is roughly worth?

Its , er, white strangely enough.

12 months mot and 6 months tax
new front pipe and stop solenoid.
2.5Di Banana engine with egr and pump mod done.
It has the sliding window in the side door
88k miles
interior is unripped and clean
Plylined rear
Aftermarket parking sensors fitted
Front arches are both solid, little bit of bubbling under the paint on the passenger side front arch, drivers is sound
Drivers rear arch is starting to go but only the outer skin
Sills are solid

Overall its a very very tidy transit for an r reg and has years left in her. Im a carpet fitter to trade so has not caried anything heavy. I cant really justify keeping her as she will end up sitting which as we all know isnt good for them.

ermm £800.00? tops

If thats all ill get for it then ill keep it till it either rots to death or gives up. I would have thought such a clean low mileage example would fetch a bit more to be honest.

Just checked good old ebay, there are vans on there bidding at over that and they are rotten old dogs with 130k plus so im pretty sure ill get a tad more than 500 for it.

Only way to know is to get it out there for sale. Ill let you all know how she goes.
