Hi Sandpit, I didn't know the facelift California's were that cheap were they, the cheapest Ive seen is around £35k? I think you might have to stretch your budget, especially this time of the year, demand gets very high once the sun comes out. Good luck with your search

I've followed the market closely for over 6 months now, doing the same as you. Oli is right, £35K is nearer the mark. Calis really do hold their value. This in turn makes buying new (if you have the dosh!) a more sensible idea than usual when buying a four-wheeled lump of metal.

Afraid I have to agree, I had a similar budget and a similar goal, 2010 facelift. That was a year ago. I was waiting for them to come down to my budget. Needless to say the extra year of saving and a bit of budget stretching later and I moved to the Cali, it didn't come to me!

Unless of course a Beach will work for you? These are well within your reach

Thanks for all the good advice, I guess I was looking for the well used 30,000 + miler but in reality they are mainly used for holiday vans and have minimum miles and higher prices.
If I stretched to the £34,000 region and put 10,000 miles on her in a year what's the drop this time next year?

I did a similar thing, looked for a year but in the end just had to bump up my budget (I was a bit picky on spec tho).

Mileage didn't seem to affect prices too much - I'd think adding 10k to an existing 20 or 30k miler van over a year won't make any discernible difference, other than normal depreciation (I think poss because the base vehicle T5 vans are normally worked well over 100,000 miles, they're well proven). As a 2010 would be coming out of warranty soon though, that may affect resale a bit IMO.

if you could compromise on not having a facelift van you would be ready to buy. In a few years time when t6's are here the difference between pre and post facelift won't be so great
