Morning all, I am new to the game but really want to get stuck in. I have recently fallen in love with the Rascal and am now on the look out for one. If anyone can give me any advice then it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Tanner

Welcome to the site.
Trawl through the posts & pick up what to look for when buying.
Avoid post 1993 Suzuki Supercarrys.
And remember, Buyer Beware!

Many thanks Derek, I think research is going to be the key. What would be the top tip? Engine, bodywork, rust? Thanks. Tanner.

supposedly the later models have emission problems not true mine is basically disconnected just had carb checked for fault no problem with emission so the reading says,but having had an older one and this later one would say i think they might rust quicker but then they all do at some point,if you look at some see if you can get the reference no of the log book you can check out what it failed on in the last 5 m.o.t,s by logging onto direct.gov.uk

Things to look for is all on your list plus electrics in fact  look at everything.
Sadly some people put vans on auction sites that have problems they have been unable to solve so they move them on to another owner.
