From looking on vantrader I think it depends whether it's the 1.9d. Which is 815 or the 2.0 hdi which is 900.....

It would have to be exceptional, but if it is then it's better to pay a bit too much than not enough. The clutch might be worth checking if it's low mileage.

The 1.9 is a bit sluggish but the engine is bullet proof. I think Tosh has one? (or the Pug version)

The 1.9D engine will be fairly reliable but painfully slow, the 2.0 engine would be better.

Leave it where it is.
Buy a Trafic or vivaro with that type of money.
Much better payload, space and lovely to drive.

or find a new shape pug , fiat citreon

This will be the previous model - payloads as advised by other posters.

The higher payload is associated with the lastest model which came out at the end of 2006/beginning 2007

Thanks for all the replies I'm gona start a new post about which van
All these years I wanted a connect 230 cos I felt it was able to support a 650tank 2 people I have learnt its basically gona be over the limit on payload
So as much as I like it and the look I feel for the same money
Of the connect which was 5,500+vat I could a larger payload van
I don't want to go to big like transit size

I could get something that could really take 650+
Rather then have my favorite connect with an overload

The trouble is 650 litres, tank, frame, 2 hose reels and 2 blokes soon push you over the limit.

If you want this type of system, it has to be a larger Transit, preferrably a T300 or T330. I'm finding a 2 man system with 2 of us very cramped in a SWB Relay van. I would see a 3.5T LWB as an ideal 2 man setup, but second hand most have high mileage and haven't been looked after.

It's business and you have 'put a different cap on' with regard to likes and dislikes. Its not easy to do because we are human. If you are looking for a good location to have a shop that sells to passing foot trade, then you have to find a location where people are who will buy your product, even if it's in a lousy location. Finding a location with a fantastic view but no passing trade won't work.

The same applies to buying business equipment - its what will do the job rather than how good it looks.

Yes very true
Maybe I should look at swb transit sizes
What payload realistically should I be looking at?
