Wow Sagedog, no wonder you're excited! What is it? Hope it all goes well. Remember it's only money...and it's money well spent on something that changes your life. Good luck!

I know that feeling! Did it last year - good luck! Had no problems in the event and came home with a great van - and the knowledge that we'd saved loads of money Very Happy

Cheers guys as you may know we have hunted down an Adria Coral 680SP on Germany if all goes well we will import asap after March so it ends up with an 07 plate!!

Ruthibabe, going for a fixed rear bed with the benefit of the garage under to store ski gear etc and the mountain bikes our last flying ski holiday is three weeks today then we will be motorhoming on the piste!!

Goodnight everyone

Hi Sagedog

Well I actually slept quite well but now I am n work trying to do a thousand and one things and use MHF but my mind keeps going to the impending trip to Germany, does anyone have an idea of the standards deposit I should leave IF I decide it is the one??

Hi

I have only purchased vans in the UK, and on both occasions paid £1000 as a deposit.

Can I suggest you contact your credit card company and ask them, if you pay a desposit on the van, are you covered should anything go wrong.

Payment protection certainly applies to UK purchases, I am not sure about foreign transactions.

Hi Sagedog

We've just done the buying in Germany thing but bought privately so didn't do a deposit!

Had good fun though - definitely needed our German friend for the exchange of plates etc for export, mind you! If you are buying at a dealer i suppose all that will be done for you but we went along to see the system working first hand at the local licensing office and their "partner in crime" the number plate man across the road.

The office was only open 8 until 11.30 and he did the same hours but had a very large and expensive m/h! My 157 Euro probably helped him along the way to his next one.

Thanks for the words of wisdom russell god to know you're still with us over there I guess Oscar is keeping you out of trouble - Sage is very jealous but has an idea that he is going to get his passport for next year.

I just popped home to collect my bag, on the way back to work I thought I should really get the euros from home also so turned round, it was when I opened the cupboard that they are kept I that I saw my pssport, paper part of my driving licence and travel insurance - All things that I really should have with me before i go to the airport in two hours!!!
