Which van for £4,000 ?

[DHTiling]

Really depends on what you want to carry... i get all my tiles etc delivered... so no probs with a smaller van..

I just traded in the older shape scudo van on a 56 plate...side loading doors are crap on them.. wind whistles in no matter what you adjust.

So i got a new transit connect.. i wanted the transporter sportline...but too much money for a work van..

Any way my new connect is the best van i have owned yet...

i have had escorts/astra/..kubistar..which is the same as a kangoo and the connect is the best yet..

have had pegeuot expert (good) Astra van (very good!)..but have had 2 vauxhall Vivaro's..the best by far..great size (will sneak an 8 x 4 sheet in the back) side/rear loading and a very nippy six speed. Never had any major problems..they seem to run and run. That sorta money will easily see you a 53 onwards plate with decent mileage. IMO a cracking work horse!..good luck!

Thanks lads,
Plenty of food for thought there, now it's just a case of seeing what's available.
Cheers for the advice,
Tony

Caddy looks an ace little van, how do you carry lengths of tile trim though?

The plastic bulkhead has square holes that the trim fits through, now I have roof bars so easier !!!

you can pick up a mercedes vito 05 plate for £4000. engines go on forever but a bit prone to rust. you can get 8x4 sheets in the back and 2 side loading doors.
lots of options to consider??
