I like my vans as much as some of you guys like your high performance sports cars. I use them for work, empty them at the weekend and go hiking, wild camping or canoeing amongst so many other things. Come Friday night just empty it, quick clean and Rucksack, sleeping bag, BBQ just gets slung in and I never stress over a spilt coffee or the odd scratch here and these. Last van was a tidy comfortable Renault Kangoo which I managed to get 80,000 miles on the clock trouble free in just over 3 years, last big trip with no fuel stop was from St Neots Cambs all the way to Isle of Skye and then Ullapool later.

I get really attached my vans, even slept and made amazing meals in the back of them in remote places, but now time for a new one. Last 5 vans I have had have all come from Blackbushe auctions and always been no problems(touching wood). I have around £4,000 to £4,500(buyers fee and VAT included) this time, anyone any idea what I could pick up this time, looking at something Kangoo to Ford connect size at biggest


Thanks

Corsavan.

You should be able to pick up a 2014 model with about 30,000/40,000 miles for that price.

What if I was OK between 70,000 and 100,000, maybe even a touch more in miles... Berlingo, Kangoo, connect, expert, combo... 2013-2014?? ish

I would be scouring the classifieds rather than looking to buy at auction, auction prices have risen in recent years so not really a bargain anymore, look for privately owned vans and you wont have to pay VAT
