i am thinking about getting the new navara tekna with all the toys this week, its 350 a month over 3 years and 1k up front with an end payment of 5k (the purchase price is 25k) can someone lend me that and i will give them 50 quid a month for a few years instead.

anyways if i do decide to get one i want to know if the load capacity lets it down, it looks a lot smaller than my combo (load capacity) and would i have difficulty using the hard top and putting ladders on etc, any help/info would be appreciated 8)

the little baby 600 IBC tanks are quite nice , ive just picked up one for £65 on ebay , they will give you a bit more room in the back for reels etc

Navara aventura double cab 56 plate auto.  In the back 500L upright, two hose reels, two backpacks (WCW) and a 25L drum, two hazard cones and that's about it full.  Poles and ladders on roof.  Use a roller on the hard top rear roof bar to load and unload ladder.
Get about 20-25mpg, touch wood had no problems since new.  Never worked out of a van so can't compare.
Would I buy another? I would seriously consider a van next, but would probably end up with another Navara.
Are you sure the maths are right?? By my calculator you will be paying about £18.6k over 3 years for a £25k motor, if that's right I will definitely have another

i know it doesnt add up (monthly its plus vat though)......but thats the quote i got from them...they say they buy in bulk and get a discount and pass it on to the customers, dunno if thats true or not.

anyways i checked the whatcar magazine for the price and its def 25k for the model i am going for.  8)
