Hi all - So I was in the process of searching for a base vehicle for a conversion at the end of 2020 and due to a variety of reasons am only now just picking it up again. And woah - the price increases are crazy. I'm guessing that's a known thing, perhaps due to covid and brexit? What's the consensus on how long these increases will last for? Obviously no one knows for sure, but do we believe things will start to return to normal, or are these more of an issue of long term industry changes and this is what we can expect from now on?

I've just been having a browse to see how much it would cost to buy one like mine and came across this. I know Caravelle's are a stupid amount of money, but...

My god, minus the Dcc and two tone it is broadly similar to the one I have been waiting to be built for the last 10 months. At that price I might sell straight on and look to pocket the 15k markup
Woah honestly theyre just having a laugh. My local vw dealer have easily gone up £10k per van for t6's in 5 months. I've just done some additional reading though and according to some the changes are here for a long time: Used vans to face ‘period of ever-rising prices’ says Cox Automotive
ouch! I particularly love the "total price" when you scroll down to the difference finance packages!I've just been having a browse to see how much it would cost to buy one like mine and came across this. I know Caravelle's are a stupid amount of money, but...

I think there's a few things and I doubt it's just holiday makers buying converted vans.
- Silicon chip supply issue causing massive delays on new van production (not just VW)
- Covid causing huge uplift in deliveries meaning more people looking for medium sized vans
- People with more disposable income than ever due to long periods of being locked, unspent holiday budgets etc
Clearly, some of the people trying to ship T4s for 20k on facebook are just idiots, but I doubt the used dealer prices will crash by much very soon.
It's like the housing market. If you need a van, you need a van, and the swings of the market shouldn't really matter as long as you're happy with the monthly cost. It's different if you're trying to flip vans or speculate on the market.
