Thinking of selling my Hilux for a VW Caddy or Transporter.
What do people think of this one...!!!
Thanks or any replies.

If that’s what you want then go for it. I wouldn’t say they are over priced but you do pay a premium for the VW badge. A transit or Vivaro will be a fair bit cheaper. A chap I work with has just bought a 66 reg Vivaro for £8k to convert into a camper, he’s planning on spending £5k to convert and recons he’ll save up to £10k in the process. Might be a bit optimistic though.

Thanks for reply.
I used to have a 2008 T5, loved it.
So, wouldn’t mind getting back into another T5 or Sporty Caddy van.

Hoyles have had a few VW vans in over the past few months, I’ve been keeping my eye open for a camper. They seem a bit cheaper than elsewhere.

That’s what I thought, not to bad a price to be honest.

Don’t think so.
One side is carpeted because that’s a removable panel, wheel arches are more often to be carpeted also.
Other side is part of trim, so would not be carpeted anyway.
No signs of being a disabled van, as has standard rear bumper, not one where part of it would fold down.
