Whats it worth?

[muddyjames]

I have been offered a 24volt series 3 long wheel base van type poss ex mod and a new mot will be put onto it, it has only done about 150miles in last year as it gets started, goes round corner of farm on hard standings to get a few logs then back again so about a 2mile journey each month! starts on the button (so I have been told).

I have been told the chap only wants £500 for it. bargain or not? sorry no photos this time. If I remember camera next time I will take some pics.

and it isnt vat exempt and a 2 1/4 petrol

might be worth bout £1500 but with a non galved chassie maby £1000. a lot of people will like it cus it is military (well militery are cool, the best even :lol:  :D )

try not to take my word for it though i dont hold much knolage in the buying and selling part, its hard to estimate a series cost, there all different, even harder with no piccys

good chassis n bulkhead, easy worth over £1000. bit of welding ur looking at under the £1000, not by much, but for £500 if it's in good shape ur laughing!

With an mot maybe a grand depending on how tidy it is, the short journeys won't have done it any good, the exhaust will probably be rotting and need replacing soon as it won't have got up to temperature and dried out.  Without an mot maybe 100quid as it's not tax exempt.

with it being a 24volt Im guessing it will be a pain in the backside for if anything electrical breaks?

you would think that but 24v stuff is avalable, not that hard to find

Have a good look/poke around the chassis/bulkhead (especially the outriggers & cross members) etc & take it for a good long run. If it dont fall to bits its worth what he's asking.

if there is anything wrong with the outriggers dont worry to much, there east to replace

What its worth is whatever you're willing to pay for it! Depending on condition and based on what you've described anywhere between £100 and £900, maybe a grand tops. Check the usual areas as said above ^^^

And be careful with 24v as some parts can be VERY expensive to replace especially for the V8 motor.....points at £22.50+VAT a set anyone? :shock:

Have a poke around it and think what needs doing accordingly. But th final question is how much do you want it???! :)
