Hello Razvan,

 

Welcome to the Forum.

 

Are you buying privately, or from a business ?

 

A key question.

 

From a business you will be protected by Consumer Legislation and should have a warranty; privately, you will not.

 

Your question 1 is confusing.

If the door opens and closes automatically, why close it manually ?

Did you mean the door should close automatically but doesn't ?

 

If buying from a business get them to repair it . qed.

 

If privately, it may be a cable or motor repair, or both.

 

Important, are you sure the offside is/was automatic; not all Alphards have the motorised offside sliding door option (but if it opens electrically you must have).

 

My guess ? The opening cable is OK, the closing cable isn't.

Does the door soft close properly ?

 

The photo 2 is not clear enough for me to answer; and I have the alternate engine; but it is open to all the elements.

 

Is the vehicle undersealed; I would be far more concerned about that if it isn't

Sorry, iPhones autocorrect keyboard is at it, I’ve modified the first question accordingly. Basically the door only opens/closes by hand and I think it should be automatic as the N/S door. 
I’m buying privately. 
i did check underneath the car as much as I could and it looks fine, I’m not sure how an under sealed vehicle should look like to compare it to what I saw. 

We’ve put a deposit down on an Alphard camper 2005 2.4L. There’s a few things that I’m concerned about and I was wondering if you can shed some light. 
1. The offside door doesn’t open or close automatically, I can hear the sound it makes but I have to open/close it manually. 
2. The retrofitted display shows the reverse camera imagine somehow flipped, like the if there’s a car on the left you’ll see it on the right in the display.

3. Underneath the car looks good but the engine bay looks a bit rusty, I’ve attached a picture, should I be worried about this?

Thanks for you help!
