New to Motorhomes
Hi, we're thinking of buying an Autosleeper Clubman GL 1995. Has anyone please got any experience of these, we feel that it's a huge risk to buy such an old vehicle but it does seem lovely?
Thank you
Thank you

Re: New to Motorhomes
Hi, and welcome to the forum.
Whether it is worth the risk or not depends very much on yourselves.
If you are reasonably adept at fixing things [or are willing to learn] then, provided that it is in decent condition, it could be a better buy than a newer van with poorer build quality, electronic this and computer controlled that.
If you are going to take it to a garage every time something goes awry, then you are probably better off looking for something a bit newer.

Re: New to Motorhomes
Hello and from Leicestershire, a nice van the Clubman, not that I am bias, it is a VW after all, so will go on forever providng that it is serviced regularly, I have a change of oil and filter every 3000 miles or annually which ever comes first, not susceptible to the rust maggot as such, , if it is in good condition, engine and habitation side, has service history , they are car like to drive, very comfortable all round. Age isn`t a problem with these, built like a tank, also economical.
Good luck.
Regards,
Margaret

Compared to cars the depreciation is nothing, in fact many here would have sold secondhand vans at a profit!

Local van sign writers should be able to copy them
