    Why would you spit my dummy out and claim everyone else is wrong?

    Have you made another angry mistake?

    Again I was wrong and have amended it now unlike your wrong posts. :)

    Why are they wrong?

    Difference being I admit when I am wrong and you spit your dummy out and claim that everyone else is wrong. :)

    Enjoy your day now.

    Hi
    the dealer who purchased this motorhome is my uncle and after talking to him today he did indeed pay the wrong price.

    Would it be ok if he went to see your parents at say 10.00am in the morning to collect the 2 grand he overpaid?
    thank you
    , Ever so clear as to state collect and not to reimburse. :)



    Wrong it says collect the 2k overpaid to the OP relative, as for the above poster to your post here agrinnall they need to get a grip here it is the internet and people post silly things all the time and the chances of this matching up are nearly impossible to.

    Really not sure what is gping on so apologies if I made a mistake. Intentions were good

    Well if the lower end was around 12K for a private sale, I'd imagine the trade price (for cash) to be 8K-10K. Clearly they got the bottom end but doesn't mean they've been ripped off, especially if there was work to do to the van and they were no doubt after a quick sale. Also, don't forget the motorhome might be advertised at 15K, doesn't mean it's going to get anywhere near that price.

    If you think that price was bad my parents sold their 04 left hand drive van in September for a little over 10K and it was immediately being advertised for £19,950. It still hasn't sold at the dealers.

    What's your point? It obviously isn't worth the £19k the dealer is asking so there's no point mentioning it.

    I never said they could. But being a vehicle it will be less desirable once the new plates come out

    False. Motorhome hold their value better than any other vehicle. New reg's make little if any difference to the price

    Err the point being, that the price the OP's parents motorhome is being advertised at may well be nothing like what it's worth or will eventually sell at too. I think everyone got the point.

    Had a bad day today or something, you sound like you need to chill!

    Well it didn't sell for 19 so there's no point getting stressed about that figure.
