Seems very cheap that! I would tread with caution, as these should be at least £4-5k. Go through it with fine tooth comb, take it for a good run. It may be a gem, but there have been some sorry faces after buying a 'bargain' :oops:

Seems tidy for the money but that easy repair is unlikely to be a cheap fix, I could live with that though.

Priced about right to sell IMHO but check whatever maintainance history exists before haggling.

dont know of the history but as itl be bongo no4 you will know your way round them by now.
looks good to me,the clincher would be a good look underneath, running gear g/box and a poke about under the seats.
now you have put it on here you may be to late!!

i personally wouldnt bother with this 1 as it also says there is a dent which you cant notice when it rains #-o

plus you can get the tintop from dealers with full mot and warrantee for around the same price give or take £500 i also recon the damage on the rear quarter is worse than looks and if you were to go through the insurance for that they would prob right it off otherwise why hasnt the garage done it them selves and baged the price up to compensate it????

there are always bargains to be had with bongo's take a look at mine i paid £900 for a mint n reg v6 tinny with 60000 miles on it with no tax or mot but as i know what to look for on bongos i checked and it was solid and flew through the mot

Too cheap if all that is wrong with it is that bashed rear quarter!

Carpets in rear look very well worn/dirty compared to the rest of the van. What was it used for....Gardening Club outings.

If it is sound then it is a bargain.

Where did it say that? I just re-read the ad and didn't see that bit? I wonder if the seller has seen the link posted here and changed the wording of the ad?... Hmmm..... :?

Photos have definitely been changed - the n/s/r quarter was damaged in the original photos.

and they have changed the wording .........it used to say the dent was visable when raining

also now says had a claim against it CAT D which means if it gets bumped again then the insurance might not pay again as its already been paid on once
