I’m in the market for an Ocean, what’s your spec/colour?

The two posts above could be a brilliant resolution.

Maybe dealers already have high stock levels of Oceans that they can’t shift. Nearly 200 for sale on Autotrader! Interestingly, only a dozen Beaches though.

Maybe but as there are roughly 60 plus van centres in the uk alone one would of thought maybe 3 in stock each is not huge

I was at Breeze Poole yesterday and there was only 1 parking space for a customer visiting. The car park was rammed with New and nearly new Californias Oceans, Beaches and the odd surf. 33 Oceans for sale Poole

Wow!! Have you tried 60 van centres?
My point was that I’ve never seen so many Oceans for sale on Autotrader. Normally around 80-100. As someone else commented, Breeze in Poole have 33 Oceans for sale!

Maybe the classic British summer is not helping sales.

In my experience having had two Oceans and now a Grand 600. I just think that dealers know you will get a better private sale price than they could offer part ex simply because they have to prep yours and then make a reasonable margin. It’s just a case that they don’t want to insult you as they probably could not offer what you are expecting.

I have a very lovely high spec GC600 which I have listed in the sales section, Cali's for sale. I am not much better than a dealer in as much as I am not looking for a part exchange deal but would be pleased to know the details of your vehicle as I may know someone who wants one.

That interesting… Eurovans were quite happy to insult me with their px offer for my Beach when I purchased an Ocean last year!
