2 x L31 , M21 Sandman vans on offer....which one gets your rose?

[sandman_dreamer]

Update!!

Blue one had a late flurry and finished at $55,409

Grey one $49,409

Neither reached reserve..............again factoring in a buyers premium of 7.5% on top of those, sellers expectations are getting up there

Hello Blue Victor, first post so pardon me if I am crossing the line. 782 Motors just sold 2 HJ vans for way in excess of those numbers. Any thoughts? Many thanks.

Casino Blue, looked like new!

The papaya HJ on 782 i know is known to members of Maj Vanners and it was a trophy winning XX7 Hj 308 and it never made that. My question is, where does this end? Many thanks.

Two ways it will end, there is a major financial crisis and interest rates go through the roof. Or as baby boomers start dropping off the perch, the kids sell the cars to get some money out of their inheritance, only to find that the market dries up with the boomers.

To some people 100k is more important in their stage of life that an old Holden Panelvan

There are so many ways to look at it. If you have the cash and want one, go for it. You don't know how much time you really have on this planet.
No way would I personally spend a 100K+ on a low end/spec 253 powered Sandman. But I'm not here to wreck somebody else's dream or fun. I just like mine a little rarer for that sort of cash.

The papaya hj that 782 sold, was that done up by a guy named Mick? What did it sell for, it is a top van

[Sandaro]

This was the Papaya one done up by Mick, not sure if it is the same one as reported above as sold by 782motors. Rare colour in HJ, only available once the colour palette changed with introduxiton of LX,so small time cross over of HJ/LX.

True. That's what I think as well. It was more a rhetorical question I suppose, I mean , the prices have gone nuts. Just was wondering where the stop number is that is too much.

Sorry friend, I didn't mean to upset anyone, if you needed to sell your van, I'm not judging you. Life can be rocky. All good.

I'm of the exact opinion, I don't judge peoples choices or tastes, as long as they are happy, I'm happy.
