What Van To Get

[Laugher]

need some decent suggestions for a cheap van that would be able to fit a decent system in the back, only got 1k and whatever I can get for my combo been looking at vivaros just worried about the gearboxes going if I get one

 

[Belfastcleaning]

How much you thinking of selling the combo for? What year and mileage is it?

For cheap money I think a transit.. Can get very good transits around 04/05 with decent mileage 100k and less for around £2000ish

well im hoping to sell it for 1500, well I've offered it to my dad for dad and he's willing to pay that, its a 04 1.7 dti 1700 with 125k on the clock.

my partners granddad has a vivaro for sale which im tempted to get for 2.5k done similar miles as mine and I know he has looked after it and he has it serviced quite regular as well but looking at all my options

ive just looked at a toyota hiace, 37000 miles, £5400, 07 plate. i didnt realise how big they are, and noisy driving. side door, rear tailgate door., bulkhead , not sure now. the noise of the diesel engine might be irratating . plenty of room for anything though.. may make a silly offer. take some getting esed to driving a van again.

them toyotas r bomb proof they just never let u down good payload to the 2.5l an the 3.0l r good engins the 2.4 sufferd with head gasket probs but still a good un people usly hang on to them as there so good u will get used to the noise after a wile

Problem is around where I am decent vans ain't cheap, cheap ones near me have done 140k+ so might have to travel to get one

Partner HDi 800 is best of the small vans imo, good payload, great hdi engine and plenty big enough. Mine's just turned 130K and passed the MOT Monday needing a number plate light. It also does a constant 44mpg full of gear and water, mine goes well too as it's been messed around with a little so is running about 145bhp
