Well its just a van that has been fitted out. Was it done professionally? I would say probably as it was a new van. This looks like a franchised operator who is bailing out. Not done many miles so obviously hasn't had much luck has he?
-
its been listed on there for a while Pole man

I wouldn'touch it with a barge pole.
mmmm not that far from me.
-
What's wrong with the people above me. ???
Bargain mate.
The vans worth at least 6 grand, and you're getting a big system as well.
-
the van looks really smart, but it dont look like the best set up inside. its still worth £6500 just for the van so it dont seem to bad.
-
spot on squeaks ;) ;)
-
I'm with squeaks, the van is worth the money without the kit inside
-
I think your missing the humour.
-
what humour?

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!

haha that explains it. now it doesn't sound so good
-
Ooh not quite what it seems in the pictures then. I thought the poles were brand new?
-
I would also like to say i was desparate at the time and would of bought anything , i even would of paid over the odds but when i viewed it that music from phsyco went off in my head.
Forgot to say , the hosereels wont last 2 mins they had almost rusted to the floor and all the brushes were curled up and worn out.

p.s they certainly werent new when i viewed it

Lots of answers to questions can be found on the ebay listing - apparently it was on here last November.
-
correct, this van has been on sale one way or another for months.
i think originally on sale with the work aswell.
-
i love this forum! just had mate email me the link to it on ebay and i come straight on here to find out its a waste of time! thanks
-
At that price...Yes
-
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 was thinking of going for this as well but after what david said will leave well alone was a bit much for me aswell but looked a good deal marc
