Hi Thankyou
There’s a few I have contacted a couple of them but some slightly over budget some not really a colour I’d be wanting

I bought mine via there.
Slightly over budget and not a colour on my radar at the time, but am very pleased that I bought what I did

That’s crazy money for a 100k beach sorry
I have been buying new Californias since 2008 and I know the price of a 2014 beach brand new in 2014 wasn’t far from that !!!
the world has gone nuts
Just my opinion

Haha!

Sold our 2012 Beach a year ago for £32.5k. Took 2 days to sell; (Paid £27.5k for it 4 years before selling, which was not far off its ‘new’ price.)

Crazy when you have seen over the years what they cost new compared to post COVID the mind boggles

TBH we haven't properly compared prices yet and obviously need to list it officially on this site and pay the fee but from initial thoughts the max price would be in the region of 45K. There weren't any for sale last week on autotrader and there aren't any for Sale anywhere with this high spec so need to price it accordingly. It's been lovingly looked after.
Just in the process of taking photos etc

We bought a t6 beach in May and I took a while to wrap my head around the prices today given the original prices they would have cost. We ended up paying 44.5k for a 2019 beach with 28k miles. It’s a dsg and has the entertainment pack (or something like that - basically sat nav). It was a bit over my budget and didn’t have everything I wanted (parking heater mainly), but in the end we just went for it. Part of my logic was that at the time, it was the closest to what we wanted and felt priced right/comparable compared to other beaches for sale. Partly I wanted the van in time to have a good fun summer in with the fam (can’t put a price on that). And partly I figured it’s hard to determine what they *should* cost other than what the market is. Inflation has gone up so much that £45k in 2025 is actually quite a bit less money than £45k in 2019. But I understand the mental gymnastics that are required to justify it!
