Mk5 SWB Wanted

[Chaos]

Hi All,
Just getting back into transits after good few years.
I'm looking for a Mk5 SWB at a sensible price (cash waiting).
Not fussed if its semi high or low roof, petrol or diesel but it must be very very clean and GENUINE low miles.
Need something localish to Bucks/Berks/Oxon/Middx before the end of the week as I start moving house Friday.
Thanks for reading my ramblings
Cheers all.

I'd have bought it already if it wern't so far away bud already spoke to the owner .
Bloody 5hr train ride 2 or 3 changes and £70 quid just not got time

why do you not just either hire a car one way hire !

or

ask the seller if he will drive it to you then you give him a lift back !

or

perhaps there are some people here that can assist you !!

(not me as i live in scotland but you get the jist )

i think sometimes if you want a good van you gota travel ,look at me i went and drove one back from germany!

the thing is this is as good as your gona get in a smiley ,most are very rusty!

I agree
Distance for the right van, doesn't even come into the equation

Make a day of it

150 miles for my BT van, and just done 170 miles for the TD van off Dino.
At least with the van on here you know it genuine.

I know what you all mean - I've travelled miles before now for cars (was young and daft).
Problem is its a long way and a fair cost getting back if it's not what I'm after - I know some of you know the van but I dont and I can't afford to make a mistake.
Went to the auctions today plenty of cheap tatty mk6's for £1000 - £1500 but nowt nice.
Cheers

I would travel a lot further than that, for a van that Madmark says is the one to have

I spent two years and wasted a lot of time looking at bodged examples, before I found my MK5
To be pointed straight at one would have been heaven

I was interested in that one myself, looks REALLY NICE, why don't you agree to meet up half way? that way it won't be so far.

you ask for a clean van one was shown to you

if you wanted it local to you then you should of said
