It’s getting beyond belief now

[Littlewheels]

I couldn’t believe the price of a new Flair….Crazy pricing.

Get a decent mattress and a portaloo in the back of an old transit, better value for money than that…

 

[Lenny HB]

The smallest Carthago is over 100k before you spec the essential extras.

They are only €75 but the pound is so low in value

 

[Coastal Cruiser.]

That’s over £100k more than 3 years ago when we were looking at buying one

You can still see the value Lenny but at £367k it’s hard to justify the vast increases. I’m not sure these prices will be paid .

Have you seen the price of vans

A couple of months ago I priced up a Ducato panel van got a bit of a shock came out at £55k Inc vat if I'd put on all the bells & whisels it would have added another £6k. Even the most basic one is over £45k.

Can't see the value in an N&B at that price, they lost the plot a few years ago don't like any of their layouts now seem to offer poor value for money compared to other makes

Crazy indeed, the Flair has traditionally been a few 10's of 1000's of £ cheaper than the likes of Concorde and Morelo, I put this down to the fact that N+B don't do any extra work replacing the dashboard so that kept the price down BUT now obviously now obviously this is the "new" facelift Flair and they want their development costs back, it will only end when people stop buying them though

I don't disagree Lenny but for anybody who likes the latest Flair makeover there is nothing else out there to touch it so if that's what they want they either pay the price or walk away.

My post wasn’t clear, l meant see the value in your choice at £100k+ where as the Flair is off the scale it’s not a Volkner and the like.

Absolutely, historically they were never marketed as a match for Concorde or Morelo. I actually bought a Flair in 2012 and it was showed excellent woodwork and design internally but it’s a different animal now and far too blingy for my taste.

Been there done that

Yep...and those trips are almost always the most enjoyable and the most memorable.

The problem is there are hardly any vans under a 100k now so if you want a new van you have to cough up.

Yes but they are getting towards £400k in some cases Lenny.

My MAN work van is fully loaded with auto , 4x4 twin diesel heaters etc .Just for a bare van now it would be £60k

 

[pjay]

Just as daft at the other end of the scale now...

I bought a new East Neuk Fifer Touring M in 2020 and it was £49,000 before extras, base price has now gone up by about 50% - if they can get any...

[Larrynwin]

Sounds like used prices will stay high with such increases on new vans.

 

[charliesgrandad]

My house has got more mod cons than the Flair 920 and is cheaper, but its only downside is it doesn't have wheels

 

[DelMar]

Until people stop paying these silly prices, they will remain.

By van I was refering to Motorhomes not panel vans which are also silly expensive now.

 

[AndyPK]

It’s the lizards…….they don’t want anybody to be able to Motorhome except the wealthy elite……..!

 

[steve69]

Quite simply there are just too many people around with more money than sense.

 

[The general]

Then again I have seen punters pay £1000 plus for certain lp records the most I have paid recently
is £700

 

[CazPaul]

Incredible, but if they sell them then it’s good business.
