Hi
Not yet put it up for sale officially as still searching for the van I want
There is a grey 4 motion for sale I saw at vwcampervansales in burgess hill. It is older with more miles but if it is a 4motion you want it is the only one I have seen outside of the forum
Hello Jeannie
I'm shopping around for a Cali myself right now, and wanted to say a couple of words of caution about vw campersales. They may be totally kosher, but I must say that I had an extremely odd experience there earlier this week when my wife and I went to view their LHD 2005 Cali.
After taking it for a test drive, we noticed an odd burning smell which at first we thought was cigarette smoke but later realised was coming from the rear heater. We also noticed that the speedometer hadn't been converted from KM to MPH on import, which we thought was a legal requirement having looked into importing a Cali from Germany some years before. So we raised these issues - as you do before parting with £28k!
The reaction of the two men at VW Camper Sales was almost unbelievable. The gentleman who appeared to be in charge became extremely aggressive, seemingly unable to accept that there may be any sort of issue with the vehicle. Perhaps there isn't - perhaps it was just a faulty bulb in one of the light fittings as he suggested, I don't know. But the point is, he was angered just by the fact we were asking questions, and ended up telling us to "go back to Germany then" before storming off into his office - leaving myself, my wife and my colleague looking at one another in stunned disbelief. I wonder what he would have done had I asked to examine VIN numbers etc.
We were definitely going to buy it, but after that we quickly walked away - feeling sad that the Cali wasn't going to be ours, but lucky that we had seen this side of the business before handing over our cash.
Perhaps the gentleman was just having a bad day, I don't know - it was truly weird. But I guess they've been in business for some time, so they can't always be like this.
Anyway, there you go. Just thought I'd share that to help you consider whether their Cali is the right one for you.
I wonder if anyone else has had bad or, indeed, positive experiences with this dealer?
