ah well thats the question. 
Its got 103k miles, but really is very very tidy.  I guess I've looked at 8 in total and this was the best condition by miles and miles.
Every single toy appears to work (cruise, lights, TV, games thing, air con, electric windows/mirrors/seats/locking etc, etc)
paintwork is hard to fault
leather interior  no tears, all the arm rests are attached and go up and down (but not all the way down to the floor)
all the curtains present and working
Lovely shiny wheels, good rubber
Drives fine, engine seems sweet, auto changes nicely, no creeks, groans, bang etc
None of the others could claim the above.
Service history was only from import 4 years ago was about the only thing to complain about - given the condition I'll risk it.

I paid £4250.  I think thats a good price, certainly compared to the other ones I looked at it is. Based on the others I would have gone up to £5, maybe a touch more.  Always difficult, the more you look at the more you know the market.  I was happy to keep looking until I found the right one and decided within 5 mins of seeing this one, it was worth the risk.
It was on  ebay and The trader and he said there was a long list of poeple after me and I got the distinct impression, he was thinking he could have asked more.  Of course it could have been excellent sales technique, but he came across as a lovely bloke, honest as the day is long.  Seemed genuinely pleased if had gone to me an enthusiasm who would care for it.
Insurance in place, so now I'm off to the bank to get a wad of Cash

What do you think?  fair price?

Thats not bad price at all. Mileage isn't a worry if it has been serviced for last 4 years.

 Fully loaded like that i'd say that is a cheap van but then i may be a bit out of touch with the prices in UK.....would fetch $10k-12k here I guess!
