Used Vans - 2012 Ford Transit 260 SWB L/rf 2.2 TDCi 125PS Trend FWD Moondust Silver thats the 1 i lokked at

I like!!

Did you haggle anything off the list price?

Isn't there a new shape Transit coming out this year? That will effect the value of the old shapes won't it?

The new shape is already on the forcourt at that dealer i didnt haggle as only went in on a wime when mine was peeing me off but accountant recommends getting a new one, fancy a change anyway 74000 lwb vivaro second one ive had

 

[Dannypipe]

Why did your accountant suggest you get a new one?

Being VAT reg you can claim the VAT back I assume

Cos i was thinking of swapping anyway plus my current one is all claimed up for in my tax return everyyear so no benifit to be had there. Dont know how you"ve survived out that little van so long get the AA to get it going long enough to trade it in somewhere

Believe me, working out of that van has been a total nightmare. Never had such a small van before. But it was such a great deal. At the time it had done 15,000 miles was ex BT, so not had a hard life, and I paid £3700.00 for it.

Actually think I'm in the same boat as you regarding the van, it's all claimed for. Yes Blake, I can claim the VAT back. Which is a bonus....

Silver lining, I have a repair cover with the AA which I just cancelled on my new policy. Luckilly new policy doesn't kick in until the 10th. So AA will put £500 towards any repairs. Talk about lucky - if they don't have small print to wriggle out of it that is.

The prospect of getting a new van is VERY exciting. I know that makes me a big kid, but we spend so much time in them that having something that makes me happy to drive will great.

Going to pick the AA mans brains on what he thinks are reliable.

The Transit Custom isn't the new Transit, its a bridge between the Connect and standard Transit. Seems like a good bit of kit though.

As long as dont drag out the start of the repair till the 11th :wacko:
