1.9 a lot more bombproof but obviously not as powerful

You looking too...crazy prices ain't they

I’ve been looking as well and because I like Toyotas I’ve been looking at Toyota Alphards but as soon as camper van or Motorhome tag is attached to anything the prices are insane.

I've been to look at a couple of T6's over the last couple of weeks,  the last one was really nice,  I made a offer on it but just couldn't get the deal over the line,  the seller is hanging on for top lolly but it's over priced at what he's asking and won't budge a penny,  shame because it really nice,  I'll try him again if he still has it in a week or two.

Just make silly offers on loads someone is always desperate my first boat I bought for 6k after seeing it for sale at 14k emailed the bloke for 3 months before he finally accepted and I sold it on for 13 after 12 years of use also vw are artificially high priced and not really that good some of the jap imports are really well kitted out for not strong money I bought mine on the 21st December when no one is looking and people need a raise to pay for it all the bloke told me to f**k off when i made the offer them emailed me a couple of days after and accepted lol
