[gwrightson]

 geoff

That must include insurance?
If it does, that doesnt sound too bad of a deal.

[Ian Gourlay]

If you want a new van that sounds OK to me as depreciation would be 4K anyway I think??

While on Subject of Transits how much more expensive to run are they than an Escort Van?


Ie Diesel  Insurance etc as I do quite a lot of miles, I can manage with small vans but

[preston powerblast]

Which company is this from, the reason that i am asking I too am interested in leasing a van and non offer this return clause or unlimited mileage.
Which the more I think about it the better it sounds.

[garyj]

Sounds a bit to much to me, Tim at vehicle options is worth a shout on 0808 160 8855 or 07980 833976, he can sort you out with a new van or car regardless of credit history etc at the best rates I've come across.   

[Chris Bailey]

Forget it...

Go out and buy a van, pay out right if you can then you have no bills to worry about during the year, otherwise its another bill thats got to be accounteed for each month........

I went to an acution and bought a van, 12 months tax, paid out right for insurance know all I have to be concerded about is paying the morgtage.

[Michel Roberts]

Seems a lot to me

Just buy Autotrader and look in in there

If buying a transit bear in mind that this model will be replaced in the next 12 months with a brand new model with a very advanced new diesiel engine which will badly hit values of what will then be "old" models.

micheal   you can have a new van every year, no insurance is not included, and the comp. in question is tls 

[Ian Gourlay]

I just looked at leasing prices over 5 years and a transit could cost you £375  a month plus VAT and you woukl have to pay insurance etc etc etc etc and Repairs
as it becomes worthless.
Or £25.47 per thousand plus VAT

Over two years £750 plus VAT.
or £51.47 per thousand  plus VAT

Personally I would do as Chris has suggested get one with low mileage

[preston powerblast]

I have a cracking little van at mo, the old faithful VW Transporter its an old J reg, but the new shape 253K on the the clock and runs like clockwork, But for a second vehicle I want something a bit bigger and smarter and I thought that leasing may be the answer.

[John Kelly]

Get a new transporter, long wheelbase if you need bigger, can't beat them.

hi if anyone is thinking of getting a small van then i highly recomend the dihatsu extol   ive had one for 4 months  and what a great van !  its  got 1200 cc engine twin air bags central locking air con two side doors,ive had all the small vans over the years like rascal, escort ,etc but this van is a joy to use   and all for £5999 plus vat  unreal value

[Ian Gourlay]

Are they comfortable to ride in.

[cleaning co]

hi yes they are, great driving position ,great visabilty cause u sit up high in them u think u are driving lot bigger van, i drove mine from essex to cormwall  didnt get sore ass ,back ache  or anything   and i only used £32 of petrol and they hum along at 75 mph with ease, think the book says they will do about 95 mph .
