Where to look to buy an Amazon Estate
Hi all,
I have wanted an Amazon Estate for a couple decades now, and have finally decided that now is the time to get one. I am looking for a fairly decent one, but they seem fairly rare on the ground. So, my main question is where is the best place to look for them? I know there is one up for auction this weekend, and there seem to be a few on the Hofman Leek site. I keep an eye on the Car and Classic and the Classic Cars for Sale websites, as well. Is there anywhere else I should be looking? Also, has anybody had any experience with Hofman Leek? Their prices seem high to me, or are they a fair reflection of what Amazons go for these days? Thanks. |

Hofman Lek are in Holland and prices there are higher than here generally. The two they currently have are both LHD and have LPG, either of those may be a plus or minus to you. There are several other Dutch dealers who have Combis for sale and the prices will span that range with a bit down and rather more upwards.
Dealer prices in the UK can be a bit eye watering and if the one that is coming up for auction is bought by a dealer, expect it to be up for sale soon after with a good(bad) jump in price. Better that you buy it if you like it and it's in your price range. |

Thanks. I am going to have a look. It wouldn't be my first choice of colour but if the price is right...
Left hand drive is fine, and lpg would be fine if it doesn't take up too much of the boot. I will see what else I can see in Holland then if I don't get this one this weekend. |

Thanks for that, but I am looking for a restored one, not a project.

I should clarify: restored or good solid car in a usable state. It doesn't have to be pristine, just solid and reliable.
