Just got one on demonstration this weekend and my first impression is that it's VERY VERY small in the back!!

Its lovely to drive and handles well but the space issue in the rear is really putting me off.

I drive a transit swb at the moment and its a lot bigger. I have a 650L upright tank and fitting that into the trafic would be pretty tight. Also I tried my 18ft 3 section facelift pole in it and its a bit of a squash.

I was wondering does anyone else have this vehicle and how do you fit all your gear in it.

Pics would be nice if anyone has any.

P.S. the long wheel base isn't an option because of the price.

Thanks

Matthew

how much have you got to spend

[ronnie paton]

i have the vivaro and had the transit b4 but i think there almost the same.
i have a upright 650l and there is plenty of space!

There`s plenty of room in that van for a 650ltr easy,it`s a lovley looking van and perfect for our WFP work.Which engine do you have on load,and what does it go like.

[steve m]

dont get too blinkered, lwb toyota on an 08 plate is just over £14,500 and that includes the VAT or a pre reg citroen relay mwb-medium roof for 12,500 plus VAT. How much are you looking to pay for the renault

[Sir Squeaky]

I've only got 400L in mine, but to be fair I could probably fit 3 of them in there.

Are you sure it's not a Renault Kangoo?

[craig21t]

had a 650 upright in mine no problems, but was short and had trouble with the old universal poles, with the x-tel type poles it no prob due to there short lengths. brilliant van apart from the gearbox going, but i believe they sorted that problem on later vehicles.

[steve m]

I would have thought the same as you squeeky, its just the french version of a transit so it shouldnt be that  small in the back, somewhere around the 2.3 metre mark I would have thought

LOL.

[craig21t]

no the traffic is a little shorter inside than the swb transit

[Sir Squeaky]

It's still big enough... :

A Renault Trafic yesterday...

£12500 inc vat

I think it's the 2 litre turbo diesel. It has the 6 speed box and is the sl27 115 model.
It's hard to keep it under 80mph!!!

10,250 + vat for the trafic. Thats what I was quoted

Totally agree

[Sir Squeaky]

10,250 + vat for the trafic. Thats what I was quoted

Suspiciously cheap.

I'm paying £15,200 all in.
Don't know that that works out at before vat, but it's certainly more than £10250.

I asked at a main dealer and they said even at 0% (which they couldn't do) it would still be £14,000.
The van retails at roughly £15k.

renault traffic .in tredeger , wales .same price .10250plus vat

[NWH]

The new trafic is £13650 inc vat,mind you it`s the basic one.With air-con plus pack it`s about another £500.

[Sir Squeaky]

I got air-con, cd player and electrics.
Insisted on the air-con!

[NWH]

You could have got it cheaper if you`d paid cash,they do 2 different deals and they don`t always tell you that.Because at the moment it makes no difference to them as it`s 0%,normally your looking at 4-5-6% interest so having it on finance is good for them and there finance company,as i say at the moment if your paying cash you can get a much better deal ie extras thrown in and a lower overall price,with air-con metallic paint and electrics you can get one for £13650 inc vat.

Not at all suspicious!

You never take the the price shown on the forecourt or the book price.

A lot of garages will sell the odd one at cost price just to meet there sales targets for the month/quarter.

I have had 3 quotes all offering it at £10,250+vat.

Yes its for the basic one but it still has a 6 speed box and central locking and a cd player. Thats all I need.

Why anyone would bother getting air con fitted as an extra is well beyond me!! I would understand If you lived in a very hot country but this is Britain. Just my opinion.
