Thinking about buying a new one

Postby slickmouse » Sun Nov 27, 2011 10:12 pm

I'm thinking about buying a new LWB Transit, am I mad? seems to me either the Iveco or VW Crafter is better and more reliable.

What do you think?

Yeah your right every crafter and every iveco van is a lot better built, cheaper a lot more reliable, better on fuel, than any transit, what are you waiting for go get one.
