Bumped into another retro Burstner owner today. He had quite a nice looking A747 Active on a Tag chassis (iirc) from the early 2000s.
We have an '03 A645 Active so a bit smaller but about the same age and pretty much the same passenger capacity.
Anyways his carpet shop is adjacent to a small time motorhome dealer who he'd gone to as he was thinking of replacing his ageing moho with something similar but a bit newer.
I was quite surprised to hear that the dealer had suggested he put his up for sale (privately) at £28k and the justification for this was the modern charging set up 3x lithium batteries and assorted usb type chargers around the place....
I fully appreciate that things are only worth as much as someone was willing to pay, but it did seem a bit toppy, if what people are saying is true about the market starting to slow and stock building up, especially as it was an 02-03 model and over 3.5t so presumably the cheaper end of the market and a diminishing number of potential drivers able to use it...
Other than for general discussion, do you think a decent solar and battery system with usb's justifies top whack or are there better mods which would increase resale value? He mentioned he also ran 3x cassettes with the toilet, so didn't have to worry too much about in the black waste department.
Opine away people!
