im thinking of buying a new van opinions please

[nige]

in work we have a tranny minibus for airport runs. its a 15 seater taxed and tested. its been droped down to an 8 seater to have luggage space at the back. the boss bort the van last year it used to be a green SCOTT van used to transport workers to the steel works. the vans in good nick. ive took it to london twice and it drove mint. its only been out a few times it never fails to start. i love the reliability of my 2.5 di i can just jump in a drive it anywhere without worrying. are these trannys just as good? any major common faults? what are they like to work on? are parts cheep enuf? any opinions would be greatly appretiated. also whats it worth?

[nige]

no opinions then?

they do drive nicer but it's a balance reliability vs comfort

would you be able to get decent insurance on it if its a 15 seater

so the older vans are more reliable then. well i cant drive a 15 seater leagaly as i passed my test after 97. but i herd u can re regeister them so it will be an 8 seater?

You could re register it but its a paper work nightmare and insurance will still be a problem
