  3. Welcome to the asylum:lol:
    That can apply to both T2 ownership and this forum!

    There are a couple of importers on here that can provide you with a solid base to start. Have a look through the old for sale threads to get an idea of what bang you get for your buck!

    Good luck in your search.

    Do plenty of research on what to look for and what to avoid. Theres tons of info and buying advice on here so have a good read and don't be afraid to ask questions and put up photos of any prospective purchases. Between the banter you will get some excellent advice!

    Good luck:)

    Welcome along - you are in the right place for knowledge. It's really hard to say what you might have to pay - but, as others have said, look for a solid import in need of painting and you are on the right tracks :thumbsup:

  12. Evening from the Vegas of the north....

    My advice is know what you want from the bus and particularly the partners want (will make them weekends away much more easier), then look at what each rates against what you want... Try to read up what a good one looks like and what a bad one looks like... Always do a background check on it (many get ringed).. Final thing is think about storage as well.. Tintops if not lowered won't fit height wise in a standard garage...

    I would try and think about all round usage...and how you'll sort it :)

    Good luck, bring the questions, bring the banter...and don't forget the drivel as well ;)

    Hello :)
    I would try and narrow down exactly what you think you want in a van as there are so many variables and you can be looking for ever.
    I've got an import as wanted a sunroof and less rust. I didn't want a pop top as had one before. However, it does make it a bit awkward when camping as you have to crouch a lot! :)
