Where to look for 'new' van?

Postby rimotu66 » Sat Jun 13, 2020 6:52 am

I am looking for a SWB Custom, have been trolling ebay, van trader and facebook adverts for weeks but struggling to find 'the one'. I have a budget of £8000 max as I can not afford to get tied up with finance due to job uncertainty, I am a bit fussy as I do not want a white, red or yellow one and would prefer a LTD spec van with lowish mileage, am I being realistic?

Sounds fair enough to me on that budget.

Transits have never been rare, so you should find one :D

You might get a brilliant deal at a dealership, just think how much money they have lost over the last few months, good luck

It took me 2 years to find my last van so keep looking and don’t give up. Like you I wanted preferably silver and a trend model but to find one with low ish miles and in excellent condition is hard. There will be lots of van but not your spec.
