HOW MUCH??! - We Got Paid To Own A VW California! 

Thank you very much for watching 😊

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching 😊

Thank you

Totally agree! Thanks glad you enjoyed it!

They really do hold their value, you bought your Vans at the right time, the crafter is the way to go but not for everyday use, love the video's.

Thank you so much!

Well done, you Bought and (probably Sold?) it at the right time! I think your bling helped it sell fast, like the wheels. Also…..I’m not sure how many peeps would have been keen on buying a vehicle privately for around £60k ( again, in your circumstances/ having a YT channel with content on the van may have helped you to sell it privately??, but if you were Joe Public it may be more difficult to sell a £60k bus privately.)

Thank you 😊

Nice 👍 Enjoy your new adventures

Wow!!! That’s incredible

Thats mental!

In Europe (and UK) prices of houses never drop; they only go up 🤷‍♂️ Selling a young second hand cali and making a profit is normal nowadays (but not that logical). If you sell an older cali and you don’t make a profit cannot be a bad thing because you used it all these years so quite normal: the value drops but: prices have gone up for years now (never gone down) so it is possible you do make a profit if you sell it. It is what it is. Prices will keep being high: this is Europe 😉 If I see prices for a premium make car, I cannot believe those so a california isn’t that expensive if you think about it.. one car with two obvious possibilities: daily use and for travel.

palpitations? 😮😂 People pay crazy money for a star or rings in the front or their car or a cool look or the forced new future, the electric car but the price of a california gives them heart palpitations. Sorry that I laugh. We are not rich but saved for it and left our passenger car with vw and can only conclude that it was one of the best moves in our lives. Also cheaper than having a motorhome and a daily vehicle. Do you want one? Can you afford it? Then buy one. You’ll be cured from those palpitations 😉🌈 Only joking, of course, but think about it: is that price really that crazy? Or are the passenger car prices crazy?

My monthly payment was £180 a month for my VW California Ocean🤣 My weekly shopping comes to that much(got greedy kids)

Nice work 👍

Worth doing it yourself on autotrader. I priced it competitively and sold it in 3 days for a £4K profit. Dealers were offering 6-8k less.

@@peterclose9073 Mine had 400 miles on the clock, it was sat on the drive, we have holidays already booked, and it just wasn't getting used, it was quick easy sale, I did consider trying to sell on Auto Trader but i always against trying to sell expensive vehicles privately as I always thought people would rather go-to dealers for finance/dealer facilities etc.

I am interested in this, as you sold it, but did you replace it? was the replacement then also an upgrade or a saving? I had an Alhambra I sold and the prices then shot up during COVID, so now to buy one is far more expensive.

The wheels were sold privately when we got the new wheels and the standard suspension went with the Cali

No that didn’t include the alloys and suspension so if you include them it is a loss

It’s gone quick hasn’t it

A very interesting summary of the cost of owning a VW campervan. At the start of Covid we had our holiday to Whitby cancelled and a friend who had a campervan suggested we hire one for a week, which we did. It was a year old T6 and we toured Norfolk & Lincolnshire & enjoyed it but found a few things we didn’t like, like the rock & roll bed took up all the room & it was difficult to get to the kitchen etc & no loo. I enquired about buying a new one to be told order now & get it in 18months time! Fortunately our friend had a Bilbo Nexa which make into 2 single beds using the front seats & gives you plenty of access to everything. I managed to find a 15 year old one with an auto gearbox, cruise control & a microwave! So far we have been all around Scotland & most of the rest of the UK & love it. I should add we are both over 70 and had many years of sailing boats so we are use to living in small spaces. Peter & Jan

We now own the Crafter, Tesla and Dacia 👍
