How much exactly will you pay for each van if you choose it?

[tompoole]

£11 for traffic
£13 for transit

[Scrimble]

buy brand new

[8weekly]

buy brand new

Why?

[andyM]

buy brand new

Why?

Manufacturers warranty, most probably one year breakdown cover included, no mot for 3 years.........plus other benefits I probably have forgot to mention.
My advice would be to buy a recently pre-registered vehicle and save a fortune, just like I have recently done.

buy brand new

Agreed - still got 3.5 yrs of warranty left on my 18 month old Hyundai van. If your paying 13K you're quite close to brand new territory anyway.

[Michael Peterson]

i'm not one for buying new myself, however on this occasion with the money you are able to spend, i agree with the other two guys i believe the benefits of buying new here are quite strong

[tompoole]

Not vat registered and £13k is my max budget ...
You can't get a new transit sized van for £13k on the road.
Still unsure which to go for..

brand new renault trafic for 11500 plus vat with air con, shop around you can prob get one cheaper, i paid under 10k plus vat for my van brand new

buying new you are the only driver, its in perfect condition and your gonna need a long warrenty for when the gearbox, injectors etc all break you can get it fixed for free

Id go for the transit,


renaults are crap, well the cars are anyway so presume the vans would be to.

[PoleKing]

Trafic-all day long.

[tompoole]

Good points made but £11499 plus vat rfl roof rack = £14500
That's £3k more , can't afford that.
The 12 plate I'm looking at is £11k on road
And transit is now £12600 on road
So much cheaper than new one

[tompoole]

And I need one before next week

[Lee GLS]

From what I have read when I research the 2 vans is the engine in the vivaro is pants. Suffer from injector problems, and one of the injectors are susseptable to seizing in the head due to water ingress. Obviously not going to be a problem in the short term, but if you are planning in keeping the van a while its the long term reliability you need to think about.

What are you selling for?
Is it white?

[easy clean]

Yes it is white, never been sign written. I bought it to do pressure washing/block pave cleaning but it never really took off as we have a serious problem with travellers in the area doing bad jobs and found it very hard to get enough work. Have all the equipment for sale too.
