looking at this van today – any thoughts?

Hi,

I am looking at this van later… im pretty new to the world of campervans so thought id post it here to see if it seems like a good deal to anyone, seems pretty good to me after looking around a while. It works out at £3200 and is pretty well set up already, not too old, and has been used as a leisure vehicle all its life. (i think)

Yep, seems like a good
Yep, seems like a good vehicle if you need that configuration, and are happy with the left hand drive.
I’d be tempted by this one as it would suit my needs.

thanks..yes probably will
thanks..

yes probably will mostly be used in germany/europe so left hand drive is good and looks setup pretty well, but also relatively minimal, which i like. ive seen a couple 1991 transit campers for 3500 euros, so a 2002 fiat seems pretty good for that price..

have been looking at mercedes sprinters/old mercedes campers too, but they seem a bit pricier. i know they hold their value more due to the quality.. but i like the fiat compared to what you can get for the same money with mercedes.

well ill see how it is later.. 🙂

Good luck, seems like a good
Good luck, seems like a good choice.
I have a Merc (my second in fact), and whilst good and reliable, the front wheel drive of Fiat gives you a lower vehicle, and it’s also wider. I would be tempted to try a Fiat in the future.
