This isn't a For Sale thread; not just yet anyway.

 

 

 

I bought this Toyota Granvia earlier in the year to convert to a camper/day van for surfing.

 

It's pretty much complete now, however I'm in two minds with what to do next.

 

I don't want to shell out on a full respray at a bodyshop as I do intend to sell it very shortly; though I have considered a couple of lairy colours (sky blue or DRIFTWORKS orange & black etc) with a few decals to set it off.

Regardless, the paintwork and bodywork could do with a bit of TLC in places, though it's completely rust free (like most good imports).

 

If I didn't have the Hilux I'd keep it for towing the Z32 to track days and surfing, but as it is, I'm going to sell her unfortunately.

 

It has the same 3ltr TD engine as my Hilux but only has approx 70k on the clock, which for a diesel is bloody good.

 

 

I've tried to price these up to see how much it's worth but can't really be sure, as the prices do vary, ranging from about £4,000 all the way up to £16,000+

 

 

 

My question is, would it make sense to have it re-sprayed in order to increase it's value, maybe fit the spare TV/DVD etc or leave it as it is; T cut and polish it and then advertise it for sale???????
