Interesting points Colin. Badhatharry, we began looking for a van in February 2020 and then started looking again in February 2021 and noticed that prices had risen quite a bit. We researched prices/spec on the web looking at small specialist dealers, private sellers and that well known dealer on the south coast with their odd 'bands' and inconsistent pricing. The problem as Colin says, is that good vans are going quickly and folks aren't prepared to haggle so we were pleased with our detailed research and clear idea if the price was unrealistic.
