Currently run 3 vans, which 2 have been purchased on HP, and one outright.

Sick of the maintenance costs, in the left year I've had:

1x engine
1x turbo
1x steering rack
1x gearbox
1x DMF and clutch
1X EGR

Lots of other little bits and many regular maintenance items on top.

So now I want a new or pre-reg van, with warranty.

Narrowed down to new Renault Trafic or Transit Custom, however the funding is my problem. The van is for staff to drive, so really I should probably go with the Trafic as it's cheaper, but I prefer the Custom.

To contract hire, lease purchase or HP, I have no idea!

Any advice, as its doing my head in.

£3000 more for Custom, so if HP, a fair chunk a month.

They *shouldn't* have too much of an issue bodywork wise for contract hire.

Mileage wise about 15000.

We need a reasonable payload, and reliability is key. They carry pretty much their payload every day, so get a hard time.

Contract hire sounds like the best option with full maintenance, then you have fixed price motoring in a new van
What payload do you require?
1000-1200kg

Is it only Citroen you deal with?
