How to sell a bongo that's failed an mot
Our Bongo has been part of our family for 15 years but has just failed it's Mot due to corrosion. The engine is good and it's got a side conversion. What is the best way to sell it? We can't be bothered selling it in seperate parts. Is it best selling it on Facebook or on this site or approaching a garage etc? Any advice would be welcome

Sorry to hear Bongy has failed.
Impossible to say what’s best, I'd put a few ads out and see what response you get.

Selling your Bongo with a side conversion and a good engine can be done through a few different channels. Facebook Marketplace is a great option for reaching a wide audience, and it allows potential buyers to assess the vehicle easily. If you're not keen on dealing with individual buyers, you can also contact local garages or specialist dealers who may be interested in purchasing it for resale or parts. Another option is online car auction sites where enthusiasts may be more inclined to take on a project. Make sure to highlight the van's good points in the listing!rachey-pachey wrote: ↑Wed Aug 07, 2024 3:33 pm Our Bongo has been part of our family for 15 years but has just failed it's Mot due to corrosion.

I agree with Grimoh. I get asked this about once a week and as our vehicles get older and as the tin worm hits there will be more and more Bongos that become uneconomical to repair. But there are people out there who are willing to renovate old Bongos. It's just a case of finding them, so multiple advertising channels are a good idea.
In order, for a private sale, I would try Autotrader, Facebook Marketplace, the Bongo Fury For Sale page and even eBay. You could also try the classified section of the Motorhome magazines.
If you just want to get it off your hands and are willing to accept a trade price then see a list of Bongo breakers at viewtopic.php?t=52959
