Get the Ford Transit Custom, you won't regret it. I bought mine new in April. Very pleased

That changes the options then
From that standpoint I'd be considering things like reliability, longevity and image etc. A Transit overall are reliable (there'll always be the exceptions) they will easily give you 12 years and image wise,if you arrive to price a job in a newish van the customer YOU want will think' he must be doing something right'. The customers that think otherwise are not the ones you want lol. Also you have an exspence to write off. My opinion is that if you can afford the deposit then buy a new van, what you get back and what you can write off means there's no debate!

Yeah it is
Www.vansdirect.co.uk - try these mate. If you're VAT registered and Ltd company contract hire is a no brainer.

The old transits weren't coated underneath, but the newvones are. I also have a transporter with over 300k on it, 2007 van. I'll be buying another van in September next year and it won't be a transporter. I've learnt the hard way, overall the ford is a better van in my opinion.

New transit customs totally different breed.
They called Renault now? 😉
The inside of the custom is by far the best of the bunch it feels like home but I don't think I wanna be getting my self into 18G's of debt my plan is to buy a 10 plate vivaro of a friend he's had it for t years on finance and it ends in march he wants £5000 for it with 70000 ish miles full history maybe next time round ill be brave enough to get the custom

as you say in Essex Julian I am well Jel , nice van mate
I'm in the same dilemma , i have a merc Vito and a transit connect, I don't know wether to get another Vito and give mine to my employee , selling the connect , or sell my Vito and connect and get two vans the same so we look prettier on jobs 🙂
I'm not going to get vans on lease I will be buying 2nd hand

got a quote for a spanker from vansdirect today. very tempted
Looking to replace my black 54 plate vivaro, twin Sld are a dream, tailgate to work under, very lucky to find the same.
Looking for a Transporter, will get a loan as not Vat registered and lease works out too much, would be too tatty too on handback.

I'm not vat registered and when I bought my van including vat the whole price was put against my accounts.
Yeah, I took that into account, but with the first downpayment, monthly payments over 4 years, the van is nearly paid for but you don't own it.
Thats if its been returned in excellent condition.
My van takes alot of knocks, scratches and minor damage on and off site, cant imagine the list of repairs needed to return the van after four years.
The cost of getting a loan on an older vehicle once the depreciation has calmed down, and yearly maintenance costs isnt that much less than the leasing option, if the Vat was deductible, it would be a much more realistic option.
