Opinions on Stealth Conversion Van Valuation
Hello, It's nice to meet you all here. I've been reading all kinds of threads but didn't really find anything that determines self made conversion vans and their valuating them to determine market val...

Hi Steve I saw your C/L ad the other day and looked at the pics with interest- it looks as though you have a good start on the conversion-- but there are some features which i would not want.
Clear exit out the back is one of those...some of the electronics have no value to me...
But the work does look to be of quality.
As this is a custom build- it is hard to compare for valuation.
Easier for a production build- the buyer knows what they are getting and the quality of the components, lay-out and build.
for comparo I have a 2006 Pleasure Way Lexor TD ( specs and features easily found online) 86000 miles. Paid $30K recently.
at the same time there was a blue chev van similar in concept to yours ( maybe nicer in the layout for my wants) I think it was a 2004...he had it on C/L for months his price bounced around between 7500 and 11500...( don;t know if he sold it or not...he was in the West Valley)
Best you can do for your self is to allow time for the right buyer to see your work.
You have the advantages of size, MPG etc which may appeal strongly to some buyers- not all want to be able to stand up or want to drag around all the weight of a bubbletop conversion
I think that C/L is a great way to market your van. Yes I did look at RV trader, but most of what I saw there was dealer stuff.
C/L makes easy to filter out the chaff and find what the buyer is looking for
