Advice on new van please

Postby trustytransit » Sat Jul 03, 2010 8:56 pm

Looked at a van today to replace my smiley. Its a 04 plate SWB 90bhp 330 so will carry lots of weight. 1 owner from new john lewis FSH, electric windows and aircon. 2800 + vat I know id get it cheaper privately but i get warrenty and its hard to find 1 owners. Its done 120,000 but runs and drives spot on it will only get used at weekends so wont do many miles. How many miles are the engines good for? Let me know what you think. Cheers shaun

Yeah i dont think its a bad price looked on trader and older ones with more miles and going for more. What these engines good for 200,000? Anything i should look for on this shape apart from rust?
