Lots of answers to questions can be found on the ebay listing - apparently it was on here last November.

Glad this thread was allowed to run.... watch for simliar items  from this eBayer.

I suggest book mark him as a favourite then watch for more items in the future.  And then take them with a pinch of salt.

From the good advice from David, having viewed the van and system, I think I am not going to bid, just goes to show that you have to be very careful what you are bidding on, on eBay  :o

Something as expensive as that is worth looking at and checking before bidding. I bought my van off ebay and drove to Southampton first to check it and the owner out before bidding - turned out fine in the end. Always worth looking at the van prices from dealers and then adding on the vat. I haven't checked the current prices but this van could still be worth having at that mileage?

wow, it did look great to start with just what i needed...

nice long wheel base vivaro - looks great in the pics, the gear inside looks awful but the van is cheap,
after reading all that i dont want it, shame really, very deceiving listing.

I went to look at this van when the previous guy owned it , after driving 150 miles and being told the van was immaculate, it was a real dissappointment when i veiwed it.

The equipment is on its last legs with loads of botched repairs .

The filter system looks ancient and the RO probably is worn out.

All the poles were either taped up or had arildate on the joints.

The poles were also ancient.

The inside of the van was full of rust on the roof and sides

There were tears where the internal racking system had rusted from the cross members on the inside of the roof, looks awful

The back door had rust along the bottom edge and was about 3 inches deep with more bubbling under the paint, it was caused by where someone had obviously whacked the rear bumper causing it to rub when the door was open and shut.

The only good thing about the system is the flat tank , but when full is probably way to heavy for the vehicle.

I never even started the van, i lost interest within 2 seconds of viewing it.

The whole deal also didnt feel quite right the guy wanted £3k up front so he could clear the HP, I wouldnt be suprised if it didnt sell at , maybe it is the same people because the other seller was also long term ill.

Buyer be aware !!!!!!!!!!!!
