As an avid motorhomer, I am always looking out for that ideal van and at the right price. Narrowing the search down to a mobiveltta euroyacht, mirage or Luxor but cannot afford new at those prices but...........................,a friend pointed out the advert for Palmowski (in Germany I think) and their new Euroyacht is £33,100 +VAT compared to a UK DEALER BARGAIN AT £47,000?
hAS ANYONE ANY EXPERIENCE OF DEALING WITH THIS COMPANY AND DO THEY SELL SECONDHAND MOBIVELTTA FOR IMPORT AND HOW DO WE FAIR BUYING SECONDHAND FROM ABROAD.

Its the other way round now and you may find it more expensive to buy abroad.

Not Half!

Back around that Period the GBP £ bought you

Average (124 days): 1.46777
High: 1.51240
Low: 1.41020

That many Euros

This is what @ interbank rates you got in the last 82 days

Average (82 days): 1.11574
High: 1.15590
Low: 1.09230

To give a rough Guide

A New German Fairly High End Motorhome ordered in the UK in 2005 would have been around £78,000. 2007/8MY may have seen this rise to mid £90k and I think you could well be talking £125k for a 2010 model.

Correct me if I am wrong John Cross?

Peter they still seem to be offering some good deals on their own NobelArt product even with UK vat it is around £27k for a 6 berth on a Fiat Chassis. Cannot find anything like that in the UK unless you know something I dont? I am just starting out with the idea of Motorhoming, seems like a good hobby so any idea's comments welcome.

Until something goes wrong!

I would stick with UK dealers unless the Continentals are close to giving them away. You just cannot beat after sales backup from a good reputable Dealer on home soil, even if they are some distance away.

I did see a Eura Mobil in Discover Chorley, 2004 A Class Mercedes 2.7 5 Cylinder, SprintShift Low Miles, Like new £29,995. It did not hang around long!

Plenty more good buys around if you look hard enough.

Stoke are beating Arsenal 3-1 for those interested?
