RE: PH Fleet: VW Transporter Kombi Sportline
Discussion
i picked a Vito 115 - 150 sport LWB tip auto over a company car as it had good tax advantages for me
with a van as a sole driver its £3000 per year plus £550 for full fuel allowance
if i had say a new A4 advant it would be about £9,000 against my tax allowance putting me in a K code
for the company they can also claim the tax back so their quids in as well
so far ive done 70,000 miles in it & im very pleased, service interval is 25,000 miles as well
ive added a diesel chip & it gives me about another 50 miles per tank & i gererally fill up every 450 but as a guess i estimate about 500/tank with 9L in reserve. im think im getting about 32-34/gallon.
its a great all round vehicle with 5 seats giving loads of leg room which ive had done in black soft leather with white stitching.
my only gripe is: having to reach so far for rear wiper & rubish stereo but an easy trade off for £5500 less againt my tax code for a full expenced company vehicle.
for me it gets loaded with mountain bikes & my sons band gear on a regular basis & of course the obligitary trips to the rubbish tip.
my wife loves driving it as well
i do admit the Transporter looks better from the front but when i looked at my mates new one the Vito is definately finished off better in side.
personnaly i wouldnt mind a converted Transporter & car trailer with my TR6 & mountain bikes & do a bit of touring.
