Some great deals available for leasing vans are available. Lorries are far more expensive to lease, so I buy mine but a van I would lease .

Our oldest van is a 2013 vito which is total rubbish at 80k Will be going soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyswamp Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Thats a good discount fp, I've been looking for a 16/17 plate as an upgrade from my 10 plate transit and they're all silly money, I can get a new 20 plate L2 H2 Traffic/Vivaro for 17k plus vat, but don't want to spend that sort of money Every man and his dog are now looking for vans so they can be a courier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suzook12 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 These days many vans come with a 5 year warranty and service deal, so keeping for 3-4 years then moving it on makes perfect sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So two rows of seats for up to 5 passengers. Then a bull head and a large boot area. We will use it as a weekend van along side a drive away awning. Probably only a couple of times a year though. With the bulkhead removed a blow up mattress can be put in the back to sleep on when we do our drive to the Czech Republic annually. captin slows old outlaw and Geoff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
