New Van
« on: September 07, 2014, 09:40:06 pm »
Vivaro 2004 reg has done 149 867 miles and the gearbox smashed to bits last night on the way home from picking up an amp i won on ebay in bradford , got 5 miles from home and bang

I was expecting something like this with the mileage age and reputation of the van but was hoping to get to spring before i changed van
I bought the vivaro for £2400 at 108000 , so for under £800 a year ive done ok, but the last year ive had endless problems and feels like ive changed every sensor and part on it !

Anyway i've took the plunge and got a 63 plate transporter on the way now, the  wife works with me now so only need one vehicle so figured we might as well have a nice one , planning camping trips round europe to so it will be used for hols as well :)

Time to canvass hard to meet the monthly payments :)
Only 3percent finance to!

Does not matter to a point on the interest rate as the interest on loan repayments can all  be offset against tax liability , Plus you may not be paying any tax for 2-3 years depending on whether you stretch the capital expenditure across a number of years . Mike

you dont pay tax on it true
but the other 70% still comes out of my pocket :)

otherwise we'd all go get a loan from wonga and pass it onto hmrc
