I must admit if it cost more than a VW I would go for a VW they look very much the same.I  looks smaller than the old Trannies.You must be  doing well, buying  new van.  It is time to replace your old combo its served you well.

Its not replacing the Transit, its a new vehicle marketed at the mid range market.

why ........ in case some customers give it "oooo must be paying you too much if you can afford a new van"

never work to the lowest denominator is some good advice I read on here but cant recall who from ?

Good on you.
If anyone (customers) say 'I'm paying you too much' or such like say either
 'if you worked as hard as me you could afford a van like this'
Or
'Yeah, cleaning your house pays all my bills in full'
Bit of sarcasm never lost any decent customers.
Lost a few morons though

Do customers give a second look at a van? I seriously doubt it. About 18 months ago I went from a rusting old Escort van to a neat Boxer. No one noticed, or at least no one commented.

i had a good look at these the other month, very very nice, bit small for me though so i will wait until they start doing the med roof one, you can get some good deals on the leasing side of it and leasing is 100% allowed to be claimed back

I want to own the vehicle at the end of it though.



Whats the situation when it comes to leasing and sign writing a vehicle and installing a tank in the floor?

Matt-if you want to own it. Don't worry about leasing problems.

That said-signwriting will come off.
Holes in the floor-re ply it and/or put rubber grommets in the holes

It'll be normal wear & tear

matt i wouldnt worry about getting a flash new van mate judging by some of the very large(obviously very rich)customers you clean for! ;D ;D ;D

at the end of the day its good to have a clean professional image.

i personally wouldnt ever buy a new van just because its overkill for 2500-3000 miles a year that i do in it.id rather spend my money on a sports car for leisure purposes!! ;D ;D ;D

my van is old but very clean and tidy and is in good nick(a bit like me!! ;D ;D)

each to their own!

enjoy your new van matt!! ;) ;D ;D

That's true, I had a custy who demanded what time I would turn up, after much haggling I gave them a vague time, I ended up being late, as you do.
They moaned and I said 'Look I'm not a dentist I don't make appointments' they didn't like it & I lost the job, but I didn't mind the look on the face was worth it.
