Custom VW Caddy pricing guide
Custom VW Caddy vans typically cost between £17,500 and £27,000. Pricing depends on the van's age, mileage, engine specs, and extent of customisation.
Factory extras like a navigation system, bi-xenon headlights, and driver assist features add value, and custom shops like TMG offer packages including carpet lining, bespoke upholstery, wheel upgrades, LED lighting, and body kits.
When assessing a custom Caddy:
• Verify the base van's market value • Get a detailed list of modifications and their costs
• Check the quality and age of the custom work
• Consider long-term maintenance for custom parts Newer vans with low mileage and extensive, high-quality modifications command higher prices.
For example, a one-owner, sub-30k Caddy will command a higher price than one with two owners and a higher mileage from the same year.
Unique or rare VW Caddy customisations can significantly increase value—LED headlights, colour coding, and seat conversions, to name a few.
Exterior mods value
Exterior modifications can significantly influence the price. One popular option is the TMG Styling Pack, which includes a gloss black front lower splitter, roof rails, and a full-colour code package for all external body parts.
Another factor that can increase the price is a chassis lowered on Prosport coilovers, which enhances the van's appearance and handling. Custom forged alloy wheels, typically 19 inches, with new tyres can also add to the overall value.
Tinted front and rear lights, using lacquer for a perfect finish rather than film wraps, contribute to a more polished look and can command a higher price. For those looking for even more customisation, the TMG exterior aero pack with sides and rear diffusers is an optional extra that can further boost the van's value.
Interior upgrades
Bespoke front seat upholstery in various colours and variations adds a personal touch and increases the van's worth. A rear cargo bay carpet lined with LED spots looks great and adds functionality.
One unique feature that can significantly impact pricing is the exclusive Lamborghini TMG speedo dials. This eye-catching addition can make a Caddy stand out and potentially command a higher price.
Technology upgrades like an Android head unit with Netflix, navigation, and YouTube capabilities (with Apple CarPlay as an add-on) can also increase the van's value. A reverse camera is another modern feature buyers are often willing to pay extra.
Performance enhancements
While aesthetic modifications are important, performance enhancements can also be crucial in determining the price of a custom VW Caddy.
TMG offers remapping services (stage 1) that can boost the van's power output, potentially increasing its value for performance-minded buyers. Suspension upgrades like coilovers, lowering springs, and roll bars can improve the van's handling and ride quality, making it more desirable and valuable. When done professionally, these modifications can add long-term value to the van.
It's worth noting that while these performance enhancements can increase the initial price of a custom Caddy, they may also lead to higher maintenance costs in the long run. Potential buyers should factor this into their purchasing decisions.
