I'm thinking of buying this,i like it but what do you good people think of the price.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-VW-T25-Transporter-Camper-Motorhome-1900cc-easy-project/183826765231
Iv'e got to go and have a look at it,the mot history seems not bad.https://www.check-mot.service.gov.uk/Strong money for no mot and no idea what the rustbox needs
I have,it's not that bad.I can make it look good,it's still a bit over priced.It might be worth showing them some cash,cash is king.Check MOT history.
I dont understand.Hi, Scene tax at work there.

I don't know,it seems legit on the government web site.It's worth a gander,maybe i can get the price down by showing cash.Vw’s, classic fords, defenders all command a higher price as people want to look cool with them
It could have a bent MOT for a year or two and need a full resto Iv seen it before
Thanks for the info,i'll have a good look.Take a good look at it and remember any rusty bits will be 5 times worse when you start cutting rot out.
Patches that have been welded on are a nightmare as they cover all sorts, my t2 project has been really slow partly due to patches covering patches covering rot and some bits are so bad I cant chop the whole lot out in go as I'd lose too many references to fit the new panels to.
Not sure what the t25 panels are like for availability but make sure you can get all or most the bits you may need, now that they've stopped making the t2 in Brazil some parts are either very expensive or no longer available. There's a huge difference in between buying a wheel tub for £90 or having to spend ages fabricating repairs because the £90 turned into £300 and now they're no longer available...
Scene tax just means it costs more because there is more demand for vw's than other Van's of the same size and age

has it been wax oiled etc from new ? prob not....
it's what ya can't see that's where the troubles lay....
watch out for the front panel and the corners...front panel is not so bad but I've replaced them..
look on here for photo's...
the corner panels rot like hell and r £300 each....
apart from that the engines are crap.....unless it's just been rebuilt....expensive on fuel....
if u can, go for a T4 or newer....same issues but better spares and the D models are cheap to run...the 5 cyl can have prob of it's own.....
as a member of the combi forums the best model around is the TDI, but can fetch good money...
over the water T25's can command anything unto €10,000....n they rot just the same unless it's from Spain Portugal or s Italy....
good luck...
Your right,gonna give it a miss.The disclaimer in the advert would put me off viewing. Comes across as Mot failures and faulty PX cars a dealer wants rid of for top money with no comebacks.
Edit: Just looked at the photos on my laptop.
