The value of something is only what someone is willing to offer for it. It makes absolutely no difference what it cost the seller.
When I purchased my TM and Van set up, the list price was up there, well up there, but with discount etc. cost me £46,000. Just a couple of months later, due to the passing away of the owner, an identical unit came on the market purchased around the same time as mine. It was advertised but eventually went for just £25,000, as no one offered more. It dawned on me that although I had just paid £46,000, it was actually worth £21,000 less, if i came to have to sell it, and maybe I would be lucky to get that. It just shows that it is no good saying " It's worth more than that, I paid £..... for it!".

I'd say its worth between £15k and £20K depending on supply and demand. If only 1 person in the whole of the uk wants a setup like that and they need to sell then low end but if a few want it and they are in no rush then high end.
Just my opinion.
Think it was on for £32k last month.
You could get a new titan and an 11 plate van for around £30k to £35k

vans worth 10, truckmounts worth 10 IMO , but what its truly worth is (like dave says) what they get for it.

Hi Andrew
I paid around £20,000 for a brand new  Prochem Blazer and Vauxhall vivaro 2011 with 50,000 on the clock, unless you want to duel wand the Blazer is more than powerful enough for most jobs
