Gearbox oil changed at 92,000m
We have taken good care of this van but it is a 19-year old car so buyers should be aware it inevitably has some quirks and non-urgent issues which are listed below.
passenger door does not open from outside
folding table leg broken
broken air vent cover
drinks holder broken plastic
2 hub caps missing
some damage to plastic cover on inside of sliding door
some water damage to floor
small dent and dings on grille and bumpers
The canvas is original so is shows some signs of wear. We have patched a few small holes in the mosquito netting – we advise re-doing the silicon seals around the pop top.
We have tried to be honest about the benefits and issues but feel free to email with questions. We are currently on the road so do not always have access to internet but will get back to you as soon as possible.
Why this van?:
A reliable, comfortable ready-to-go camper
The van is great on bumpy dirt roads - and there are plenty of those in Latin America! The bigger tyres and higher suspension make a big difference allowing access to places we couldn't have visited without these!
This van is white, compact, blends in and can navigate narrow colonial streets and city traffic easily.
Being able to comfortably cook, eat and relax inside has been crucial on cold nights or rainy days.
In the US these vans sell for between $20-35,000 – so it's a bargain!
