Hello,

Can anyone help as I'm in the market for a new van ideally either a Vauxhall or Ford as that is what I have always driven, does anyone know of any companies who have any good deals on?

Thanks Bulster

Ive always had transits, hardly any problems, was persuaded to get a Vivaro worst thing I did.
The list is endless the problems Ive had, only good thing about it, theres a hook on the dash to hang your curry bag on.
Back to Transit next year.

Might help if the OP posted the size of van he was after. I did the big van thing a few years back finally ending up with a 3.5 tonne Luton. These days I get stuff delivered and driver a Partner...... Size may be important, but so is running cost

I'd agree with this, VW Caddy's are the best vans I've come accross.

The caddy's do look good but I think next time I'm going for a long wheel base Vito, if I can get one at the right price.
