Hi,

Not sure if there is a dedicated newsgroup for VANS. If there is one
can you please point it to me.
Anyhow can someone put a price on my VAN? I put it in auction and the
auction house has come with a confirmed bid of £3K. To me that sounds
way too low. I would have though at least £5 - £5.5 for it. Am I
expecting too much? Can someone put a price on it? Are there any second
user online VAN price guides on net that perhaps someone can point me
to?

Here are the details:
Mercedes Sprinter Panel Van
2001, Y reg
311 CDI 2.2 Litre
LWB (4 meter)
Hi roof
Side door
White colour
147K Genuine mileage,
PAS
Stereo
MOT till April 2006
TAX till Dec 2005
NO VAT - as private sale.

I am the second owner, No Service history - have some bits and pieces
of paperwork, I had it serviced recently and have paperwork for it. The
van is in Average condition.

Thanks

Jag Mann

depends on what you want to pay for it
I've seen vans like that going for as much as the 9k mark, so if you offer 
3k and get it you have got a potential bargain :)
at least it's got enough poke to actually move :)

You missed the fact that he's selling it, not looking at buying it!

And 'enough' poke to actually move???  Nah - IMHO the 311CDIs are gutless - 
313CDI minimum - same size engine, so should in theory be just as good, 
economy wise, around town, and 20 more bhp to boot whilst on the move.

we run 311's at work and they ain't bad :)
a bit too mechanical compared to our new vito's, which are op notch :) but 
nonetheless, they are fine for what we want

All the CDI's are chippable to the next level, so if the engine is healthy
but underpowered you can give it a boost at least one level.
