Hi all would love some advice been looking for convoys for awhile but they have all been rusted through, going to check one tomorrow heres the link https://www.gumtree.com/p/vans/ldv-window-van55k-millege-fsh-/ its got 55000 miles on it i checked mot history no advisories.
Its from a dealership they want 1100 for it.
its a 2002.
im gonna take for test drive and climb under and search for rust.
I went on motoring.co.uk to get guide price and they say private sale 830, i think ill get the dealer down bait but if it is free of rust do you think it worth the 1100?

Cheers Sam

How did you get on with this van?

I read your post the other day but I didn't have chance to reply. I'd say it doesnt sound like a bad deal if its in such good nick. Try knock a bit off if you can nothing wrong with that but if its been well serviced for 55k it should do you well.

I bought a rusting transit the same age for £300 the sills were rotten and the wings etc. The gearbox only got 1st 3rd & 5th when I picked it up. Over the course of a couple of months I probably paid more than that to get it all done. But I couldnt afford more than £300 initially.

My van had less than 100k on it and the engine sounded great. I've done the work mostly myself and now have a very reliable van.

Every 2nd hand vehicle is going to be a risky purchase.
