Van - a big accessory!

Post by johnnyboxer »

FFS

I have put mine up for sale for £2500

You lot have made my think again perhaps
We buy things we don't need



With money we don't have



To impress people we don't even like

Mercedes Vito or if you can afford it a Viano- classed as a car...chip it & enjoy decent MPG, power and relaibility...while getting the opportunity to practice your bodywork repairs as you fight rust on wheel arches etc!
Mercedes vans (engines etc) are great...bodywork sucks!...vianos are £46k+ new for a reason...but its not the bodywork!

This year I lost my beloved Mitsubishi mpv to chassis rust so don't buy rust prone vans!

That's nice about the Vivaro/Trafic/Primastar range: The body/chassis is zinc plated (thumbs)
It'll end in tears I tells ya.

I've had a T5 Kombi for a year now....love it. Wish I'd have bought one sooner. Two bikes in the back easy with a bit of seat jigging. Perfect.
I did consider a new Transit or Renault.....much cheaper to buy, but after 5 years, depreciation was horrendous. The VW will have lost very little.
