just make sure you get what u agreed on when u pick it up. I didnt check when I picked up my second van and got shafted by the family I purchased it from, it was chucking it down and really never checked my self, and took it as agreed on faith, intending to use straight away drove it over 100 miles and then started sorting it all out, problem 1. knackered battery when I was told it was a new one.

problem 2. charger didnt work, and was assured all in working order

Problem 3. me being a pillock, and not checking.

Did you do a proper damp check?  Even if you did it wouldn't hurt to check out all the area's again.  Also check the cris reg to make sure the addresses tie in.

I'm sure you'll love your new 'van

gaz, you are not a pillock, you are human and we have all been there and done that plenty of times even if not for the same thing.

So excited!!!

Any tips for last minute checks? I gave it a pretty thorough check when we went haggling.

It's a Bailey Ranger 470/4 and it's a 2000 model
