As above...very sad but needs must. Iam having to sell my my99 DBM Turbo to raise 9k to put down on a business Iam buying but I dont know what to get to replace.

The business is going to entail me delivering stationery, id cards etc on a daily basis so doesnt have to be a huge Van. Thinking along the lines of an estate or a small van...anyone have any ideas?

Ideally I am looking to spend 3-4k max in the hope I will build the business up and in a year or so time I will be able to get a new improved scoob!!!!


TIA

seat vans are good value

If you're going for a van it has to be a transit. If you want something smaller then an escort van could be the way to go. I'm not a big Ford lover by any stretch of the imagination but you just can't go wrong with their vans.

I'm not sure about the price range but the Citroen Dispatch is a cracking
van.

Uses the 2.0 HDI engine, goes well and last's for ever when looked after.

If its going to be for the business, have a look at dual fuel and eco friendly estates / small vans - you can get some very good tax benefits by getting one of these.

belingo are decent vans and they aint to slow either ( just like the good old c15 )

Transit is the way i think mate, sprinters are excellent but more £££ to buy, parts etc

good luck

Have you check the insurance out, van insurance can be £££

If a transit sized van is what you're after you definitely need a pre cdi sprinter (before 2000), falls well into your budget for a good one. Will go for thousands of miles 3-400,000 is possible if well serviced regularly, also parts are not expensive thats a myth mostly cheaper than ford bits HONEST!

Wheelbases are 3, 3.5, 4m plus high or low roof.
