I posted a while ago asking for advice on a camper I'd seen. Thanks very much everyone for the help.
I've found another one, ( only 20 miles away), it's on gumtree, item number. 1101196275, toyota hiace 4x4 poptop camper.
Could anyone help me out again please and tell me what they think of it and the price? Should I hold out for a custom cruiser? (I've waited this long! ).
Here's the answers to most of my questions:
Hi, sorry but i hate texting.
answers:no alarm or imob.
yes a/c f&back tho never needed and now degasse
also has rear heater
a.l. brakes? dont think so but it stops well
drivers air bag
pas yes
no zig but 3 stage charger when on hookup for leisure batteries,2
.central locking yes
electric windows yes
cooker, fridge, tap electric pump all work ok
no service history
mot to december 2015
new gas bottle + empty spare
hook up cable and house adapter includedinsulated window covers also I bought the van with head gasket blown, 4 yrs ago. new gasket,head bolts and skim. new radiator, all hoses replaced. no problem since and been to ireland, orkney and 'used daily'also needed new alternator and exhaust recently,
did all belts and water pump too.
for the price it looks good though as stated body work looks a bit rough ..at this price its to be expected but its always hard to judge from photos, ... the 2.8 4x4 auto will drink fuel..your looking at high 20s mpg on the motorway and low 20s to high teens in town...?
Can you post a link? I can't find it from the info you give. Sounds like its had a fair bit of mechanical work to keep the wheels turning which is main concern when buying an older vehicle, so could be worth a punt.
Interior pics look tidy enough, if its the van you want then probably as good as any in the price range. Japanese import so I presume you have done some research about parts availability etc? There is a Hiace forum perhaps it would be a good idea to post on there for adivce if you have not already done so.
We have a 1995 hi top hiace, had some good fun last 2 years. Runs really well, done a few bits n bobs to keep things ticking along, to be expected. Had a nice new kitchen put in last year. Bought it specifically for the 8 seatbelts! putting it on the market if anone is interested. mot till august. about 70,000 on the clock. starts 1st time new mirrored windows.
Hi, I have a p reg diesel 4x4 pop top granvia, fully converted campervan, unmarked body and no rust. Uprated brakes, lowered suspension, stainless steel exhaust, alloys, new tyres. Only selling because I have bought another newer bigger one.
Oldmansea do you have any photos and how many people does it seat? We are in the market for a seven/eight seater which me and my husband can sleep in with a 7 and 8 year old in the roof???
