What Van?

[leeroberts636]

Hi All

Now looking at getting a van, was thinking of a Ford Connect, can anyone give any feedback on them? Also can anyone recommend a sign writer in the sussex area?

i recently hired a ford connect, for about 2 weeks , i was,nt very impressed with it , the best small van for me would be the vw caddy

you cant go wrong with vw ,you pay more for it ,but it holds its money better and they just go on and on and on

i looked into the connect when i was after a van but was told by several people that they rust a lot. i went for a 1.7 combo. good van but could do with more space at times.

Not so much vans to recommend, but vans to avoid and in this case i would nominate the Nissan Primastar. Bought mine last December and ive already had to fork out to replace the gearbox and clutch.
The Primastar is basically a rebadged Vauxhall Vivaro or Renault Trafic - if you notice, all three are identical.
Agree that VW is probably the way to go or perhaps a Merc vito (later models)

This is the risk when you buy second hand.. what abuse they have had from previous owners..

I prefer to buy from new now..

 

[Bushwhacker1]

Yes, if you can afford it but the depreciation puts me off buying new. There are always loads of good secondhand deals about

Another vote for a VW, but i am biased:smilewinkgrin:
