Going to buy a van...any advice welcomed

[White Room]

I'm specifically after the ex BG one as it comes in MWB semi hi roof and A/C with rear parking sensors and something I have never had in a van...ELECTRIC WINDOWS !

There is a current release of them on 08 plates and by the amount I have rang that have sold, they are like the proverbial hot cake !

How much they selling them for...

After working for the Royal Mail years ago......I know how abused the vans get.
i personally would never buy an ex utility van, down to that reason.

Yes, they are well serviced.....but well abused.

You MAY be lucky.

Good luck.

Found a garage that gives a 2 year warranty on vans. I am yet to find out the small print however wont be jumping in.

I dont understand why people think that utility vans get abused. After driving vans day in day out for years, they are just not fun to drive. So I just drive. How come people just assume that because the van does not belong to them they abuse it? I can see why in the RM. Getting finished asap is ideal.

Which brings the question...which ex utility van would be the most reliable of a purchase and for what reason?

I'm sure BT used to do a warranty when selling there vans but as said they go quick.

The term abused is meant that the crews are not that bothered about looking after the bodywork or interior like we would when it's our own.
