How would you sell your California Ocean MY22 4Motion

[Californication69]

If I were to pop my California onto Autotrader, how would you market yours if you had a few extras installed.
Would you remove all the extras and sell, as was, from the factory, or leave the extras on?

 

[edocali]

Standard and sell the extras separately. Offer them to the buyer if they don’t want them, sell here or eBay

I would advertise it on here first, with the options listed.

How much do you want for the solar panels??? . I know you have a good setup!

I really don’t know, it’s a very bespoke setup isn’t it

 

[P600BOO]

I would sell it as is.

Agreed, makes it stand out from the rest.

They’re such a good modification, you can see for miles and miles and miles etc.

I guess so for our EU brothers & sisters

There’s a nice (well I think so) Ocean on eBay with some mods that makes it stand out, although, I’m not keen on the snorkel!

It's a bit of a mix.
Front chin spoiler and low side bars - fast road look
Big fat tyres - off road look.
I would consider changing the wheels because I'd worry what use the vehicle had been subjected to with those wheels fitted.

I would hazard a guess that those Maxtrax boards haven’t seen any action! I have a 4motion GC with A/T tyres and the worst it’s seen is driving away from the Busfest field last year!

Thanks, yes have the 18” perfect condition Palmerstons to put on.
Would keep black Tomahawk Kato 17” to put on Sven

He wants a bigger, badder Swamper.
Shame the Sven isn't available with the full fat engine and 4 Motion.

Just drove home from Surrey, nice part of the world, and glad I have adaptive cruise.
Came back via M4, Swindon and M5, so had plenty of time to think.
I am between a rock and a hard place. Literally, with my back issues, and wanting to stand up inside the vehicle and walk in the back.
The head is telling me, get it sold. Use the Saab until I find what will suit me.
The heart tells me to get the seat changed or fixed up with height adjustment, lumbar in the correct place.

Do you read my mind? Exactly this for the last 3 hour drive !! WTH.
I'm debating, do I go specialist convertor and give them these specs.
MAN TGE 3.180 with 4Motion, the guys at MAN Trucks Cordwallis, Reading told me there is a MAN TGE 3.190 4Motion on the way.

I dropped in Cordwallis Trucks to measure a MAN / Crafter seat, to see if I can swap out Cali Ocean seat, they are saying around 3K to buy in the bits for one seat. that's without 4way lumbar. They will not directly bolt on, would have to get plate fabricated.

I would try some workarounds first.

Then something a little invasive like height adjustable seat with full adjustment. If the Audi RS seat works that is where I would go. The full size Cali format is not going to be as versatile as the T6.1. Well unless you really want a mobile palace with all mod cons.

Have you driven the Sprinter. That has to be a good platform for a specialist converter. Probably mucho ££££££ though. Lifted with a winch in the front bumper. Since <2M parking lots are a no go, may as well go all the way.

This gents got you.

Or this dude. Audi TT seats

I have a feeling the new MAN TGE MWB MY25 with steering wheel gearshift, might just be along with 4Motion. So might have to hold my cards for a while.
