What do you think of the price?

[Jacqo]

Hi, Looking at a 2018 Occordo 105 with 3500 miles on the clock. Do you think £45K is a good price?? Don't want to just jump in but I quite like it! Oh, and should I bargain on price, although it is with a dealer? Your expertise advice here is most welcome!

I have no views on this vehicle because it's not a class we've ever been attracted to but I just did a google & found several, among which the one you're talking about is, at a quick estimate, fairly much in the middle for age AND price so it's probably not too far off 'right'.

We're on our fourth 'van in nearly 40 years and have always prioritised 'the van we want at the time we want it' more than 'the best bargain price' so I'm quite sure we paid more than some people might have done but never regretted it. Hope you end up with the same feeling whichever way you go.

Isn't it wonderful how many responses there are to this question in about half a week!b

Is that what causes the clutch petal to drop to the floor and requires you flick it back up with your toes? That happened to our fiat and cost nearly a grand to repair. Fortunately it was done under warranty.

It's either the slave cylinder or master cylinder, can't remember which apart from it's the one that needs the gearbox out.

I had that once with the brake pedal. Decided to get it fixed!!

Don't think so most of the ones with problems on here are various mileages. Probably more to do with the way they are driven.

Advice given to me was that the comfortmatic was to be driven not left hanging around not being used hence a lot of commercial vans have the comfortmatic not designed for motorhomes , that was fiat at gloucester

We have an Eldiss Accordo 125, from 2017.
Very pleased with it, had it from new.

Yes, I agree it is amazing the number of positive replies already! I've just had a test drive - they've offered me a few throw-ins equating to about £1800 but won't budge on price as well. It's either the extras or £1500 cash discount, so I'm still pondering
