They are hard to find. I wanted a Maxi panel van with a tailgate as they are great when you're camping but a van with barn doors came up that ticked all the other boxes so I sacrificed the tailgate.

Just bought a blue maxi with a tailgate... once I realised they did a tailgate model, I knew I wanted that but thought I wouldn't find one.
Started actively looking, found and bought it in two days!

Took me a week as I needed it for work. I wanted AC and electric windows as a minimum and found a 2014 1.6 C20+ Startline. Didn't have many plans for it when I bought it. Came on here and it's been a money pit ever since. Had it colour coded, alloys, GTD seats, cruise control and a new leather steering wheel fitted. Such a good project and still have loads more to do.

Was looking for a t5 kombi auto with tailgate for 6 months and ended up with a caddy maxi life. All boxes ticked lower miles and cost less

About a week.
I was looking for a Transit connect after my MK4 Golf went bang. Then I realised I was being silly and knew that it was another VW or nothing and the ex-BG ones offering the best value for money. After that it was just a case of watching prices and finding the best deal, luckily for me, it was about 25 miles away.
