First caravan - large variation in used prices!
Hi All,
We're looking to buy our first caravan in the next couple of months. We are a family of four (children are 1 and 3 years old) plus the rather large family dog (Monty the Doberman).
We have pretty much decided that we would like a 6 berth 'van, preferably with fixed bunks at the end or to one side - we also like those with a large rear bathroom. Stand alone shower is also a requirement.
With the above in mind I have been trawling the usual haunts - Caravan Trader, Caravan Club Classifieds, etc. and have noticed a fairly large difference in price between similar caravans.
For example, the following are 2 similar carvans (in my unexperienced eyes!) and yet the price difference is nearly £1700:
£3190 http://www.caravansforsale.co.uk/touring-caravans/lunar/lunar-lexon-fb-cs656645.aspx
Can anyone tell me the 'going rate' for a caravan of this size, no older than 2004, and for a private sale?
I guess what I'm saying is do you think the £3190 cravan would be in poor condition, or is the £4850 caravan overpriced?
I know it's a vague question with endless variations (make, spec, age, location, consition, etc.) but I'd like to know if people think caravans of this age/size in the £3k - £4k bracket are worth looking at?
Many thanks in advance,
Ross
