Supply & demand.  Had a chat with DarrenW about this at CaRS - the 'scene tax' on type 2's is shocking at the moment. £4-5K for an absolute snotter.  No I know we have a giggle at Russell with his £31 commer camper, but when you consider what you'd pay for a VW in the same condition it starts to look like a very sane & rational purchase! Eventually the bubble will burst, just as it did with Type 1's. |

S'true. My friends 21 window Samba is valued at over £20k. She bought it a year or so ago as a snotter for £9k. They're fetching crazy prices, but as long as people pay it the prices will be high. Really nice van though. Like Mr_B said, it's way more desirable than any new stuff. But, if I had the money I'd probably yog it on 10 £1200 retros. But that's just me  |

don't think that the prices will fall.... Well it would need to be something drastic that causes the prices to fall, but when you have the prices in the states $70k is not uncommon...

I'm just glad I had mine for all the right reasons when they were the right price. Buying any motor for an investment just isn't me... ;D

Like the market being flooded with imports as folk try to cash in? As more and more people become discontented having paid the thick end of twenty grand for something that's supposed to have been fully restored, but has actually been fully bodged.  Don't get me wrong, I love these buses.... but it's whacko when things get to these heady heights. Oh and I guarantee that at least the Elise & M5 will still be in string demand in the future. |

Glad i bought mine when i did. Would cost me twice as much now! Rat look is cool but can be a skank. How many people other than dubbers would buy a rusty van (usually not always) for 10-15k? Because people are paying theese ridiculous prices does not mean they are worth it don't get me wrong I'm not putting this bus down, it is hard looking but the price just aint for me. I believe the linde van with a hot motor sold a couple of years ago for around the 6k mark. Could be wrong. Nice alternative would be something eastern block like a barkas  Anyhoo... good luck with the sale mate someone will deffinately have this at the asking price and at least it aint gonna go through head gaskets at a yearly rate like an elise ;D M5 is nice though! |

Interesting attitude. If you don't want a public opinion, don't put it up on a public forum.
