VW T4

it'll be a fairly old van, BUT when its time to sell that van it'll still be worth the same , you can pick them up for 1 K ( ish ) then spend a few hundred to get it looking nice

good call

as i said VW T4

or

as mark has said, the VITO

both same sized vans, both last and both at that price range will be worth the same in a few years

just go on ebay and search for T4, loads will come up, i kept my eye on ebay and watched the prices, they go for around 1 K, you will get a slightly newer vito for the same money, but the t4 does last

more expensive on parts though and most will agree, dont last aswell

vito's allways go on the bottom of the doors really quick

though saying that, T4's tend to go on the wheel arches if not looked after

I know they look worse that what the dog leaves on the lawn, but if you went for an LDV you'd get newer and lower mileage for the same price. I think the payload is a bit higher too.

Vito's tend to  rust alot.  T4's imo would be a better option.

I'd use the 1500 as a deposit and either lease or buy, but at that price all you'll get is high mileage and trouble.

Not entirely true i have a high mileage Scudo and have had it a Year trouble free not the best van but it was only ever supposed to be a short term thing it only cost me £1750 and should get most of that back when i sell in the summer
Having said that you can get some right sheds for that type of money you pay yer money and take yer chances
