Van or Estate car

[LM]

It depends on your personal circumstances, obviously a van is more practical than a car, but do you need or can you afford a car also?

At the time I went for the estate car coz I wanted something fast so I got a volvo v70 T5 but that ended me up in court as a result of my bank job driving style lol

I'l be going for a van, next question is what van to go for?

 

[J Sid]

how much you want to spend?

 

[Michael]

Between 6-7k ideally, there's loads of well priced berlingos in great shape, I also like the Nissan NV200, what are anyone's thoughts on small vans like citreon nemo, Peugeot bipper? Will they be to small?

Thanks

If your planning to keep it for a good length of time then go for one that has a good reliability record and that parts for don't cost a fortune, my recommendation would be a Ford, you'll pay a bit more for them but overall they are a very reliable van that don't cost a fortune to keep or repair if needs be.

I've always had good reliability from Vauxhall vans. Whatever you buy just try and get one with low ish miles and good history. It's very hard to find a good van second hand as they are all high miles and tatty bodywork, even ones a few years old

Steer clear of it has evidence of a tow bar ever being on it!

Ive had a vito for the last 4 years , cracking van, brst van ive had .
You could get a vito , probably around a 09 reg for that kind of money.
They will run forever if its looked after, mines got around 150000 ont clock and it starts and drives like new
