B508 CL

 ·  Posted: 15.09.2019  ·  #1

Hi Everyone!
I'm thinking of buying a 2010 B508 CL Hymer reg.no. 10 OY xxxx
I'm ok with the price but unhappy to leave my 1996 Mercedes Sprinter.
Any advice/experiences out there would be very helpful and warmly received.
Thank you,
Prima

What chassis is it on? Transits of that year haven’t a great reputation.

Hymer always made a good wagon. Fiat ducato is probably the most popular chassis type. Look under it for rust, or bring a mechanic, if you are happy after that inspection and you are confident there is no damp inside, go for it and enjoy it

I'd have to agree with that too

Thanks. Would a 2.3 engine be powerful enough I wonder?

The Hymer B508CL has been sold while I was trying to find somewhere to store it. Thanks to all those who offered advice. Hope another comes on the market.
