Then he had the hide to quote me 'list price' on a new Crafter!
I laughed all the way out..............

It's cool. I was offered 5K on my 2007/8 T5 Multivan on a white 2018 Multivan with a 2 litre DSG motor & steel wheels @ $53K.

Wish I could sort out my gearbox issue quickly while the deal is still on & make a judgment.

Wouldn't the gearbox be their problem then?

I guess any engine is expensive to rebuild today if done properly.
