go for the VW LWB top van ,had one for the last 5 years , best van on the road by far ,and you get better re sale
buy the 102 hp your get over 600 miles on a tank and its plenty fast enough for when your on the move

I've seen loads of bad luck with new cars, shouldn't be allowed. Boss skidded into a signpost 2 weeks after picking up his new van. My Mum got an emergency call out not long after she got her new Merc (new to her, it was 3 years old when she got it) and in a panic she opened the electric garage door, stuck car in reverse and backed out, unfortunatly the door wasn't fully open.... And my Dad got a spanking new Montego on an F for a company car, had a bus cut him up, put him on central reservation and a lampost stopped him, car got put back on production line, he'd picked it up that day and only had Uxbridge to Bracknell milage on it...

My trafic is 4.5 years old now, 2007 two litre turbo diesel 115 bhp.
I might shift it this year and buy a VW.
Only 55k on mine though.

You had any major problems with it Joe?

The Trafic LWB was my other choice from the T5. They are a bit cheaper and look a great van.

Within the first six months kev the steering rack went, then nothing really since!
Very reliable IMO.
Iv also heard of people getting 70k before probs and then guys with 150k on them with no big probs.
Hard to know what to do, keep mine or change.
I'm into my last 6 months HP so it's still worth reasonable money too.
I might re rack the inside back and hold on, lol.
Might feel new again, mine is silver to and is easy kept clean.

The steering rack was under warranty too.
