My boiler guy bought a brand new transporter about 12 months ago, he says it’s now worth more than he paid second hand - and I believe it . What van did you go for? I’ve struggled to find anything under 5k that hasn’t been shagged into obliteration by tradeys and then given a polish and marketed after catastrophic mot failure/clocking.

That's not good for me, if I can't find a van I may need a car soon

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I'd bookmark a few you like and keep an eye on the prices of them. Usually the next price drop would be near March/April with the new reg's, but i don't think that'll happen as a good majority of people's daily Car needs has changed.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
GOTD - the standard of driving. It reminds me why i try to avoid being on the roads (car or bike) during the day. I seem to spend more of my driving time/ability avoiding eejits who are either trying to crash deliberately, or are so unaware of what's going on they don;t realise the carnage they're creating.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Everybody and their dog is after vans now, with increase in home deliveries, even Royal mail are short of vans, our post used to arrive about lunchtime, but past 6 months or so was arriving about 6 in the evening, spoke to our postie and he said the Royal mail had them working morning and afternoon shifts due to shortage of vans, and we were on the afternoon route.....
