Club 80-90 Forums

Hi
Im looking to buy a t25 - finding tons of useful (and entertaining) info on here by the way - and was wondering where the best place to buy one would be... ebay, a garage etc right vehicles or eastfalia, private sale and so on. there is probably no one best option as it depends on a ton of variables, but your opinions and suggestions will no doubt be a good place to start!

cheers

First I would be deciding what conversion camper I want.
To do that , get yourself to a club meet or get to a VW show were 80-90 are camping and I'll take you on a tour

friend of the family has a holdsworth villa solid side pop top - im currently torn between following suit or going for westy poptop...

Villas are superb campers.
it would be my second choice after an Autosleeper

just looked at yours on the 'garage' section - looks great!

shucks thanks

Quality of the furniture is the key to a camper "scrubbing up" and lasting the years
mine has no rattles, creaks or issues with equipment

and villas, sleepers, autohomes, westies have quality

HI i just bought my second van from Eastfalia ! Great van and steve helpful and easy to deal with

Hi,

We got our Autohomes Karisma though a website called dubs4sale. Just type that into Google and you should find quite a few in there.

Read all of the buying advice in the wiki and you should be fine.

Good luck.

Hi

I just bought my first T25 Autohomes from an ad first listed on Volkzone, it's definately worth watching the classifieds boards both there and on this site too.

I watched heaps on ebay for quite a while to get an idea of what conversions go for what price in what condition etc.

I put a wanted ad up on here and Volkszone too actually.

You get some peace of mind if you buy from a dealer such as Eastfalia, Right Vehicles etc, there's also Munich Kampers iirc.

I wanted a Westy poptop but budget just wouldn't stretch to a "buy n go" condition vehicle that was in a close enough area to go and look at. I've bought cars on ebay sight unseen but wasn't confident to do the same with a campervan.

The wiki guide to buying is a great resource too.

Happy shopping!
