In this video I’m talking about what I’m calling a proper leisure vehicle crisis: dealers and converters going bust, forecourts rammed with stock, and prices that just don’t stack up like they used to. I start with the Volkswagen ID. Buzz, because it had all the hype and the legacy, yet in the U.S. it’s barely shifted around 6,000 units when it was meant to be a 100,000-a-year kind of vehicle. I love how it looks, but the real-world range (especially loaded on the motorway) and the luxury-level price tag are a big part of why people are voting “no” with their wallets. Then I bring it back to the UK, where the situation looks healthy from the road—rows and rows of vans—but that stock can be a ticking time bomb. Dealers are often tied into allocations and credit lines: once the low/0% period ends, interest ramps up and every unsold van starts bleeding money daily. I also cover how some “new model years” can be little more than a sticker and upholstery change, while spec quietly goes backwards—smaller leisure batteries, cheaper controls, removed features—so I keep saying it: check that spec sheet. Finally, I get into converters cutting corners to survive and why buyers need to slow down, verify accreditations, check gas/electrics paperwork, and test everything properly. With Korean and Chinese brands looming (and pricing that could be very aggressive), the market is shifting—so the only safe move is to research and buy with your eyes open.
