So I'm searching for a late Komet... couple on FleaBay but they want top money.... and almost the end of the season for most people soon.

Will 'vans get cheaper in Oct / Nov / Dec?

Price usually drop a little in winter months, but there are fewer on the market too. It's kinda like investing in stock. Sometimes you makes money, sometimes you looses. Best advice is spend a few months watching prices several places... like gumtree, pre-loved, VZI, etc. and see what the price range is.

Let's get this right .... you want a good, late Komet, with heating for less than £6,000 ? :rofl

Ebay is an auction, people bid (sometimes stupidly) BUT it is a real, current value of what they bid on. I'd be waiting till January ... and get saving, these 25's aren't dropping in value, especially factory conversions like a Komet .. in fact they're all going up at the moment.

Good luck, Ian

Got to agree with Ian here.

If it looks as good in the flesh then that's worth taking. A genuine late Komet with loads of goodies. Can't get better. Besides camper owners with heating really don't see it as the end of season. Just a touch darker for longer.

Try offering a bit less and get a propex fitted. Or start cuddling yer missus during the nights. That's what they were put on this earth for.

Go for it :lol:

Yup, 6k for a late Komet - 74k miles - in pretty good nick judging from the phots. Seems on the money to me........

If you find similar for 5k then I would start looking for the reason(s)
