VW T5 advice before buying outright
Discussion
Hi all, I am looking at hiring out a T5 before I go all out and buy one.
We have two children and decided that rather than buy one, we might be best seeing how we get on before hand.
We do a few race meet weekends with a driver friends and his family, so it will certainly get its use!
I have been looking for one to come up second hand at the right price, and hopefully I could get one before the summer is out, but I am in no rush, as I want it to be right.
I have contacted a few places local about hiring, as id rather pick it up, come home and load up but the few I have contacted haven't even returned my calls!
Anyway, does anyone have any advice on what to look out for or advice?
I am pretty up on what we are looking for regarding styling (although interior can be changed easy enough) and the only massive thing I think I am really deliberating over is the 2.0 or 2.5?!
I currently drive a Fabia vrs and that's the 2.0 SE (315). So, I am thinking will the 2.0 be ok? Its a fair bit bigger than my Furby,so the 2.5 makes a difference, but I am also thinking that for longer journeys, the economy of it may be ok with the 2.0.
Happy for any advice on the subject as a whole here also, as i've probably waffled.
