Ot - What Van ?

[JeffC]

transit is better than them all imho had mine a year and was spot on,

 

Matt if you want something older a customer of mine has asked me to sell his 2009 transit he has been offered a job abroad so it needs to go  , its a good spec swb  low roof van but its the big weight carrier 330 van  with the bigger wheels and it has the 140bhp engine so will be a cracking tow machine , van is 2009 has done 65k with fsh, he bought it 3 months ago for £8500 plus the vat from a dealer, he asked me £6k cash for it

Yep , too old for me unfortunately .

[Norman Verona]

Matt, he's not in today. If it's OK I'll ring him tomorrow rather than speak to one of his monkeys minions.

 

I'll PM you about spec etc. 

[matt nossiter]

No problem Norman , thanks

[Norman Verona]

Matt, just spoken to him. I'll pm you his contact details. He's recommending another 3 seater which he reckons is much better value than the VW. Talk to him. He understands the position and will do you a deal.

[matt nossiter]

Thankyou Norman ,

 

I will let you know how I get on .

I have the latest shape vito my last vito I had for Severn years and 100000 miles only tiny bit of rust from a stone chip which was an easy repair

My new one is now just two years old and looks like new still fantastic van drives like a car and is quiet

V6 engine is super quiet and tows as if nothing is behind it ( mine is chipped and produces 270hp )

The bottom line is all manufacturers have certain things you can pick faults in the early Vitos were really bad for rust and the transporters destroy dual mass flywheels and particle filters

You have to drive the vans and see which YOU like best

You see a lot of transporters vitos and vivaros around

Personally I don't like front wheel drive my first vito was front drive and with the trailor on and all the tools in the back I got stuck a few times in junctions on hills where it just spun the wheels

[matt nossiter]

Thank you for all your help Norm , got a very good deal on a new van which is being delivered Wednesday .

What did you go for in the end Matt?

[Norman Verona]

Your welcome Matt.

[matt nossiter]

Vauxhall vivaro sportive , cracking value for money , cost not a lot more than my old transit connect did 9 years ago ... Its big enough to tow the Westfield plus I can kip in the back if need be on all these far flung track days !

Sounds good, make sure you are rid of it when the warranty runs out

It's all paid for so I can run it for 3 years and then reassess
