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.  ;)

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.

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

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

Trafic-all day long.

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

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?
Title: Re: The new van will be....
Post by: easy clean on August 19, 2013, 09:51:12 pm
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.

Title: Re: The new van will be....
Post by: easy clean on August 19, 2013, 10:07:19 pm
I'm vat registered so have to charge it unfortunately, I would sell it for 11,000 +vat
Title: Re: The new van will be....
Post by: PoleKing on August 19, 2013, 10:11:48 pm
Is a mosmatic like a whirl away?
What's recovery?
Fancy the whirly(esque) and pw. What are you looking for?
Title: Re: The new van will be....
Post by: easy clean on August 19, 2013, 10:17:32 pm
Like it but better, the recovery is where the wet vac can attach to it to suck the water up as you go . You don't have to use it tho, it has the option. The pressure washer and mosmatic cost over £3,000. Please feel free to make an offer. All this equipment is hardly used and in very good condition.

 Sounds very cool but out of my price range.
6/7 pw jobs a year and washing the van-seems a bit overkill.
Would like it-can't justify it...

ive heard that the rear wheel drive transits are the best, a mechanic i know reckons he can change a gearbox on one in two hours

Test drove both and transit wins
