[geepeter]

Hi I have come across a carapark astronaut 15.5 van and I am wanting some info if it is worth resurrecting.it is in original condition inside and pretty good outside
The owner wants 5000 for it
Anything you could tell me would be greatly appreciated

Hi OP. Unfortunately the forum guidelines prohibit us from discussing prices and values of caravans. It's too subjective a topic.

Hi,

without getting into the nitty gritty of what is or isn't worth what, a Carapark Astronaut is certainly an interesting caravan.

I suggest you have a look in the Down History Lane section for Carapark pictures, history, etc.

Also you could try a search here for Carapark Astronaut and see what else might pop up.

This might give you some additional information so you can make a more enlightened decision on whether you think it is a reasonable buy. At the end of the day it is only worth whatever figure both the buyer and seller can agree on.

Good luck with it.

Leigh.

Thanks go for that but I’m still having trouble trying to find a way to get a value is there anybody on here that I can private message?

Hi.

Have a gander at this site www.facebook.com/groups/1594637140777579/?fref=nf

You would need to join and put your question to the ethernet and see what happens. Best to put up pics too, words aren't really helpful on their own.

This is not to be seen or interpreted as me recommending that people on this site know what the values are! As sportsman 1 said, values are very fickle and a van is worth whatever you're prepared to pay for it. All I can say is be VERY careful and know what you're looking at. Many people have been caught out.

Here is a Carapark astronought advertised and when you see the price tag, you can see the problem about establishing values
