Buying a second hand Phil & Teds, what to look for?

[AppleAndBlackberry]

I'm a bit confused about all the different models available and which ones were better/more expensive and how to tell how old it is etc. Would appreciate any advice! Thanks.

if buying second hand i would only consider the sport v1 or v2 makes no odds really as to which one, the vibes were the more expensive ones and the verve, but i would avoid both

the old E3's are great too, really solid and you can still get the parts if you need them. I have had an E3, Classic V2, and sport V1 and the E3 is the best with 2 children and the sport best with 1

What's the difference between the sport and the E3 then? They look very similar to me...

tbh, not alot, i have had both and loved them both

Just to highjack just about to clean my second hand sport ready for my arrival, any tips on keeping clean to sell on in a few months looks like it could get grubby easily

I am about to buy a handlebar cover on eBay which should help. When it comes to selling, you can wash hoods, double seats etc in the machine.

I washed all my E3 covers in the machine and it looked lovely but alas is no longer water resistant and dc3 gets soggy feet as the rain soaks into the front triangle foot rest even with the rain cover on. This maybe down to age as well though. It is 6y old and still very sturdy.

There is a label on the side of the E3 which says the date it was made.
