Window Cleaning Forum / Re: Price of new vans!
« Last post by dazmond on Yesterday at 09:03:20 am »
Having a decent van is the number one requirement for WFP cleaning IMO and the largest outlay is your van. If you don't want to spend a huge chunk all at once then leasing for a small rental amount every month that's 100% tax deductable is ok. Its easily affordable for most businesses.

I just see it as a legitimate business expense every month now.

What was the list price of your van  when you bought it 9 years ago Daz? That’s a hell of a lot of wasted money on interest you’ve paid there. Far far more cost effective way of owning a new van than the route that you have taken.

No idea but leasing suited me at the time. Still does for easy accounting

You’ve ended up paying a fortune for your little connect daz!

My van(connect L2 240 limited)is  going for £38k including VAT in 2026 for a brand new one! :o

Even if I keep my van for another 6 years(it's 9 years old at present with 30k on the clock)I'll have paid around £28k for mine as im paying a reduced rate of £60 a month rental and lex autolease reduce ESV by £114 a month every month until I decide to get rid so it'll be worth virtually nothing in 6 years time!😄

It works out at around £156 per month spread out over 15 years. Not the cheapest way to run a van but easily affordable and 100% tax deductible.

Tell them you are on the 'biggest best and beautifulist' window cleaning forum and that you want ask the advice of everybody on there how to deal with the situation.

 ;D

You are right Mr Mod, it is big and beautiful !!

To add balance, I have bought plenty of things from Spotless and to be fair customer service, speed of dispatch, cost and quality have always been very good up there with the best,
Is it adding balance though? I don’t doubt they will be ‘up there with the best’ when extracting money from you. Unfortunately their customer service on dealing with complaints is nothing short of disgraceful! Ignoring customers who have bought faulty, not fit for purpose goods from them is never a good look!

I've not had any after sales communication with them but  would warn everyone not to purchase their hose. I bought some 8mm yellow a few years ago and was rubbish, kinked all the time.
