Hi Garry

Have a look here it will give you some idea.

Dealers may give you a PX valuation which would be a good starting point.

Good luck

Hi

It's a bad time to sell.

Whitsun is best.

The van is worth about £1500 maybe £1600.

However I am a mug and willing to pay £2k

Whitsun, you say currently bad time to sell, is that for dealers as well as private, as im just looking to get one from a dealer but eoither need to trade mine in or sell it private first

Surely worth at least £6500, maybe more.   That model is not listed on caravanpriceguide.

If you take the new price and depreciate it by 10% per year, that would give you a rough idea.

The CC will be able to tell you . if you inquire about insurance.

I see there was a 2002 model advertised on here recently for £6000.  17th August.

With a full and a porch awning.

Hi GarryB

Whitsun is the best selling time for both private sales and dealers.

At this time of the year Dealers don't really want to take expensive caravans in which they are unlikely to sell until Spring and that might deflate what they'll offer you unless of course they're keen to sell you a much more expensive van.

It's a good time to buy a new caravan though with delivery around March/April. The dealer has a sale, doesn't hold your caravan in stock over winter and can more easily and quickly get it off his books in the Spring. So he can afford to be a bit more generous.

I did my last deal in October for a new caravan with delivery in March. We agreed a trade in price for the old caravan and a cash price for the new caravan if I sold privately. I managed to sell it privately within a couple of months.
