How much

How much was a new T2 back in the day?

Anyone had one from new ?

 

I could be wrong but I sure my dad paid 4 1/2 k for a six month old super Viking in 1980

 

Wasn’t a Devon, around £2,300 in ‘72? Bit cheaper than a 3 bed house or something like that?

 

My Dads 74 Devon was about £1700 with seat belts (front only)

 

Ar much

 

He kept it 13 years and got £2500 for it, which at the time we all thought that was an amazing result.

100% original , two owner, vgc, 80,000 mile

 

Mines only done 48,000 from new.
(Can’t say it’s ALL original, mind...).

 

Allowing for inflation that's the equivalent today to £17850, the current VW T6 campers start at around £55k

 

What about depreciation?

 

I think Tony user name something like busbui has had his bus from new.

 

£2183 in Feb 1973 - see invoice

 

Yes, Bought my Kombi bus new in 1976, paid the equivalent of £2,900 in local currency, Nigerian Naira.
Full price without fiddling on the unofficial exchange rate would have been £4,100.
This is the reason I still have and love my bus......its about the only time in my life when I scored!!

Yep - paid £4600 for my 2 bed semi dormer bungalow in 1972 - which puts it into perspective.

 

I have a Nigerian cousin who is a wealthy prince he recently emailed me to tell me he has a lot of money to give me, I had to transfer £5000 for admin charges, when I get the money I'm going to buy a Nigerian bus

 

Or how stupid house prices are.

 

Sadly where you are changes house prices but not bus prices. Further south the house would have been more expensive.
To someone like @Barry Haynes darn sarf a bus would have been tips money.
