New van prices

[fred]

Do you get a tacho fitted to pull 3.5t? I think you almost get away with it in a 4x4 as it's a specialist vehicle but a van is a no-no

not needed if you can keep to the no hire reward/ 100 kliks from base

Gra's no chance of that

I’m sure that’s from about 5 years ago.



I agree they’re not cheap, but then what is these days? I must be a tart

100 KM's covers me for all of N.I, its everywhere else that's the problem

Will it legally tow 3500kg?

Cause it will......Its a mk6 transhit. Itll do 2250kg legally
Ive plenty of other motors that will tow 3500kg but i didnt get the transit for its towing capacity, its for general running about and for odd bulk bag collection

Trouble is I need to be able to do 30,000 plus miles a year with 3500kg behind it. Not many old vans are up to that.

Yes, I got a factory fitted Tacho. I try to stay legal.

Inflation. Rampant, out of control inflation. Added to shortages.

Did anyone else see the news? That cockwomble at the head of the BoE has the gall to tell workers not to ask for big pay rises, or else the current inflation may not be so easily controlled. What an absoloute ****. He's on over half a million a year.

He may have well have said 'let them eat cake'. In fact, I would rather he had. Anything to hasten a return to the days of the guillotine.

I know these VW Transvestite’s make bonkers money second hand which made me think this one (being sold by a friend of a friend, and I’d imagine is mint) is probably relatively good value. The previous engine issues sound like a worry though!!

My transporter is coming up for 7yrs old this year. Would have to find 25k to put towards new identical spec even with high resale value of mine!
