Didn't Daz get his from there? Most places are good when your buying its when things go wrong you find out if they're good or bad. depending on what your buying i found this place to be the cheapest when i was looking the other month (on the connects and customs) never searched prices on there other vans though https://www.new-car-discount.com/van/ford/transit-custom-310-l1-diesel-fwd/van/diesel/manual/2.0-tdci-130ps-low-roof-limited-van/16/

Yep, got my custom through vans direct last year

Delivery date was a little longer than they intially said but apart from that they were good to deal with

Cheers. I'm awaiting a quote, but they have a 290 Limited for £15k plus the VAT. Not sure what their interest rate is though as it would be HP rather than lease as I'll just run it to death.

You'd be better off getting a bank loan at around 2.9%, HP will be a higher rate and you will probably have an arrangement fee on top of that

Mines 3% (might be 3.1, not sure until I get the paperwork out) on HP, also on a 290 limited
Aim of mine is when its paid off, kit it out into a car and give it to the mrs

Getting a bank loan as a limited company to buy a van is a tortuous process. You get referred to their asset finance departments and the terms are not attractive. we bought the last two with Ford. One was 0%, can't remember the last one but you certainly wouldn't get the same deal from a dealer.

Ah didn't realise you were limited

That's a good rate IF it's 3% APR and not 3% fixed with a higher APR, these HP companies have a knack of hiding the true cost of a loan

I intend to just run them until they die.  ;D
