Wanted to Buy- Band Van

Alright, to kick things off, I'm on the hunt for a band van for about $1500-$3000. Preferably a bedford with appropriate shaggin' wagon or pimp mobile styles. But anything considered as long as it's longwheelbase, under 200000kms and in good enough condition to get around the island a few trimes. prefer backseats and diesel too. Reply here or to teina@nzmusic.com.

Forums: Classifieds,

INFACT! while your doing that you could also drop me a line.

I need one too.

who doesn't??? someone should run a band wagon auction on this here site. though i guess teina did call it first. maybe we could run some sort of timeshare aggreement?
I'd be happy with a bus.

Optimistic

wouldn't buy a bedford for that money. you'd be buying trouble.
think more along the lines of a Hi Ace or something. Crap but cheap to run and reliable. Anyway, you'd probably be better off justing renting if you wanna tour the country a bit...ain't enough venues to make it worthwhile really....

yeah but hiring is like $120 a day!
so if your doing a big tour like 15 to 20 dates thats the price of a Van man!

well, you can get a good van for about $85 a day if you look about..just include it in your costs. No warrant/reg hassles, no maintenance/insurance.
and 15 -20 dates? around NZ? man..thats just asking to lose money. You can pull it off well enough doing weekends & stuff (no point playing anywhere unless its Thurs/Fri/Sat) and come out on top.
I don't know, thats just the conclusion I've come up with, thought alot about buying a van then discarded the idea. Mind you, wouldn't complain if I got given one..so....anyone?

Oi! You Blink! Andoru!
This here is my classified, don't you fullas come hogging on in here jis cos I thought of it first ;)

And as for the rest of yas... goddamnit I want a van! I just know someone out there somewhere has a beautiful old Bedford (with new engine) velvet interior, authentic fluffy dice and mirrored hubcaps...

*stamps feet and sulks*

right now I've got that off my chest I'm gonna delete yo asses! heh heh >:}

But teina! i need a van too!
Very much soooooooooooo.
Infact i would kill for one!

I can tell you all from experience that bedfords are the cheap to keep on the road. And to be honest you'll fit more gear in a hi-ace van. But anyway we love our bedford, thought you might want to take a look at our sweet as Beddy. Buy the way the engine alone is worth $4500, diesel mind you.
