Used Van Sites

[MTiler]

Hi

Can anyone recommend good sites for used vans, particularly Ford Transit Connect?
Due to some idiot going into the back of my van yesterday there's a chance I may need a replacement.

Cheers
Sharon

Nice looking van there.

I had a Combo which is a similar size, but it only had the 1.3 Fiat Diesel engine, and when it was loaded up it wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding!

So now I have gone back to having an estate car.

Focus 1.8 TDCI Ghia, pulls like a train, side doors , 5 seats if needed and I reckon I can get just as much in that as a small van.

Yesterday I had x18 bags addy, x3 bags grout and X11 buckets of 2 part on board no problems.

Did you ever find one @MissTiler

 

[MTiler]

Ive only just found out today that my van is definately being written off. Will stay with a Connect.

Cant afford a new van.
My Mum used to work in the motor industry and always said never buy brand new its not worth it.

 

[StevieBoy]

I wouldn't buy new - they say you lose £1000 as soon as you turn the key.

How do you get on with the connect size of van @widler,with your plastering work, what with platforms and wood planks etc, plus boards, skim etc, I think I'd struggle, but I would love a smaller van from a running cost point of view.

He had a berlingo before this so its never been a problem, either delivery or ontop on roofrack, obviously depending on size of job

If you're a VAT registered limited company there are loads of benefits buying brand new. That said. 12 month old still has a couple of claimable years.

Not VAT registered. Not buying new.

Hey Sharon, @MissTiler

Couldn't see any marks on it, apart from bird crap,
where it's been sat under tree!

That's very similar to over here to be honest.

I think a lot of people don't use their accountants enough.

I bought one 32.600 sold it 25.000 after 18 months and had offset it against a tax bill and half a year use again the next tax bill. Didn't really lose anything.
