Van v Car

[A55]

I could do with a van/pickup, I am a wannabe property tycoon - watched Properties under the Hammer for years, thought it be easy - and occasionally need to transport things like tiles, flat packs, fridges.

I have a Alfa Giulietta, nice car, rubbish load carrier, seats don't fold down fully, high loading sill, has a lip so can't slide things out.

On my walk home from work yesterday morning came across a Fiesta van for sale, 14 plate, £4000 and it has a big orange flashing light on the roof, but looking at costs, tax is much higher than a car so is insurance, so the dumb question is why buy a car derived van rather than a car?

Although a little older £4000 can buy a Vito van for example, so why buy a Fiesta van?.

if I were to get a car for load carrying, obvious choice would be a Fiat Baringo, what else?

Hopefully someone will understand my gibberish.

Thanks

More pointless fantasising that will lead to nothing….builders merchants, ikea, curry etc all deliver

Ok, been exposed by these with superior intelligence that are on here, it is my fantasy to own an old van!

I should have thought that .builders merchants, Ikea, Curry etc all deliver stuff bought of Ebay for example.

I am just exploring options, so in a way your right but why is that a problem?

Thanks everyone!

Thought vans had the same speed limit as cars, leant something new.
