It's a lottery that's for sure...

What van do you drive Andy?
Part of me thinks keep the van I’ve got or make a small upgrade and put the money towards buying a buy to let!

I got an 05 traffic..... It's done nearly 170k miles....... I bought it about 4 years ago and had 3 years trouble free motoring, however I had to spend a small fortune on it this year.... New turbo, sensors, brake pads, discs... Spent £1,400 !!
I've never spent more than 3 grand on a van.... I tend to look at them as work horses. ...... Buy them run them into the ground till they become unvieable to keep on the road..... Bin it a buy another one..

Do you have a car too ?

I got a 12 plate traffic on 170k running smooth at the moment I’ve had it a year plus,
I also got a 62plate focus titanium which was nearly new one owner ( missus wants me to get rid of it).

Were Thinking of getting a Nissan qashqai next year..
