I am desperate to get a brand new van! Something like a swb boxer.
I know if you lease a van the full amount is tax deductible but you don't own it at the end of the lease. Also can you sign write a leased van?
2nd option is to borrow 15 grand and buy it outright and pay back the loan but that amount would mean I would probably be paying near 20 grand by the time they add on interest.
Or if there was a 0% finance deal, maybe that would be the best.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Matthew, you can get lease deals with an option to buy or replace when you near the end of the deal, but you really need to look at what is best for you. Are you VAT registered and if so are you on flat scheme or full scheme, as this does make a difference with lease deals in many ways. I know having a brand new gleaming van is a very tempting, but do you really want to put that much pressure on yourself with a large loan. Why not search round for a good second hand, if you look really hard you can pick up bargains. Then save save save and set a target for when you are going to get the brand new one! :)

Helen,
Im not vat registered.
The reason I want a brand new van Is to have more freedom. At the moment I have a x reg transit with over 100,000 miles on the clock!
I want to be able to drive anywhere in the uk in order to visit familly, friends and go away for weekends. I just want reliability.
At the moment if I want to go any distance I have to hire a car and I'm getting sick of that.
A new van Is the only way forward for me.
I don't fancy a loan of £15,000
If you have the option to buy the van at the end of the lease how much would it cost? (roughly)

Matthew I may be wrong, but a long while ago before we were vat registered, we looked into leasing and we told that we couldn't business lease unless we were! This may have changed, we may have been told a load of old rubbish, but hey, we went down a different road and now have 4 vans on the road and not a brand new one amongst them!
Is your x reg playing you up? we have a M reg 150,000 plus on the clock and still going strong. Serviced nore regularly than the newer ones though! understand what you say about reliabilty, but you can get problems with brand new vehicles too!
If you could lease, every leasor has a different deal going, so sorry can't even guess on the cost of buying

Shame it's got some sort of plastic shopping trolley stuck to the front. :-X
730kg? Must wallow like a good'un with a full load. :o

I test drove the New Scudo the other week, fantastic van, much better drive than the one ive got at the moment, drives more like a car. Cheap to buy, service and if you do need parts after 3 years, again cheap. I test drove the 120bhp one.

Thats the old model, the new one is much better, half the price of yours too, so, when you've run out of work, or can't get any more decent priced work as " your area is over run with cheap w/c'rs", or the "get wfp, a big van & you'll be a millionaire" hasn't come true :o well, at least you'll not be paying for the over-priced, over-sized van that you never needed. ;D

New Fiat Scudo Maxi LWB Diesel
2.0 Multijet 120 High Roof Comfort Van
Our Price £10,590
Lease - £567+VAT Down, 48 x £189 with Terminal Rental of £4,467
Hire Purchase - VAT & RFL as DEPOSIT, 60 x £229
Summary
Features
Technical
Dimensions
The new model Fiat Scudo has once again been developed through the PSA Peugeot, Citroen and Fiat alliance. This collaboration sees the Expert, Dispatch and Scudo step out of its little niche market and into the competitive line up including VW's Transporter, Ford's Transit, Renault's Trafic and Vauxhall's Vivaro. It does seem a very bold step from the PSA alliance but now they are offering a short and long wheelbase with the latter also available with a high roof making the loading capacity jump up from 4m³ to 5-8m³. Even though they have now jumped in with the big fish one thing still makes this van stand out - PRICE
Warranty 3Yr / 100000 miles / 8Yr Anti-Perforation
Thats with vansdirect.co.uk

I paid six and a half for my Citroen Dispatch, two years old 2ltr hdi with eighteen thousand on the clock still under warrenty. No vat.

you can add another grand on the price of the fiat doblo for vat

I drive a 2002 model 6 days a week fully loaded, and on some days with a full tank of diesel as well!!! Handles well, even have it up to 90 some days, good on fuel, major service (not standard) last week at 118000 miles cost including new set of pads £205.00. Its not once let me down, they are cheap to buy and service, good on fuel, what more do you want??

So thats about £13,500 you will be paying? What will it be worth after 5 years?
Personaly I don't do 50 houses a day so a smaller van would do me but once having a transit size van you don't really want to go much smaller.
You have more options with a larger van. Carry more things without squashing things in.
Does any one know of any 0% finance deals on a boxer?
-
Think Renault were doing 0% on their traffic. Same van as Vivario and Nissans Version

Mathew i,ve leased & brought. I look for best deal at time.
Lease bst i can find is new fiat scudo £189.00, thats not good, i,ve previously been offered old shape £129 including insurance, but theres nothing at moment.
Vauxall are doing o%, upto around 15% dicount, £500 towards fuel & free servicing for the vehicle. I,ve looked at a new vivaro,if work picks up.
