First time transit buyer

Currently looking at the above as a potential buy. Need to find out what the payload is on it first tho as i'll be carrying about 1400-1500kg fully loaded. Looks tidy enough on the picture but obviously need full viewing. Any advice on what to look for/ask? Is this price as above good, bad average? Looks decent on price but i guess there will be a reason for this if this is the case :roll:

Do you have it advertised anywhere with pics and more info (price, mileage etc)? What payload does your transit take?
