Citroen is impressing me so far.

Go on Autotrader and see if that seems competitive in your area.

Sounds like a dealer so you are going to pay inflated price over private.
Its the convinience of getting rid of your "old" van that maybe attractive.

Mine was a 52 plate and went well and didnt cost a lot to run and maintain.

How much will he do the Relay on its own for? I wouldn't pay more than £2100 for it with that age and milage.

I paid 5k for my Transit but its a 2006 and only done 33,000 miles.

Post by: Jim_77 on April 16, 2011, 09:15:53 pm: I seriously wouldn't buy such an old van. Nor would I buy a brand new one either. Takes a bit of time and patience but vans always come up which are a couple of years old with low mileage and haven't been thrashed around by couriers. They're normally from liquidated companies so plenty around at the moment.

p.s. my cousin is a motor dealer so he searched his usual auction houses for a while, eventually the perfect contender comes up, just don't be impatient and grab the 1st one that almost fits your needs. If you strike up a good relationship with a local dealer he'll be happy to search for you until you find what you need
