Small van wanted for around £1000

[Bryan]

Ideally I would like a Citroen Dispatch/Fiat Scudo/Peugeot Expert but I will consider any of the following:

Ford Courier
Ford Escort van
Citroen Berlingo (or similar)
Vauxhall Combo

Must have power steering and preferably in white or blue.

Also must be under £1,000.

Mate has a good wee renault extra there. Tim - 07782 380842, tell him Kieron told you about it.

Renault Extras are a nice wee van... only problem is the older ones don't have power steering.

Ye big girl ye!

Gave him a phone anyway.... sounds like a good enough wee van but really want power steering for the amount of 3 point turns I'd need to do in all the wee tight streets round the place.

Will keep it in mind though.

PM Swain auto electrics,he has a wee 106 van 4 sale(i know it not in the list),not sure how much he after but it defo well less than 1000 and frm memory thers only 52k on it!!! Not sure if thers power steering or not tho

 

[Bryan]

106 van is too small. Need a van with a bit of height, hence the list above. Even the Escort van is borderline.

Stay away from Combos if you want good power steering

 

[Bryan]

Would love a 1998/1999 Renault Kangoo if anyone's seen one for sale anywhere. Even in England if needs be.

 

[B A Baracus]

Kangoos are crap too mate, the best small van is the Inca/caddy nice and roomy front and rear

 

[Bryan]

Hate the Inca/Caddy.... drove one in my last job and detested it. Staying well clear of them as a result.

 

[B A Baracus]

What did you not like about it lad?

 

[Bryan]

For the hype people give VW's about build quality etc etc it was no better a van than the 1993 Renault Extra I had. There was more oil outside the engine than in it, the clutch broke, steering wheel height adjustment didn't lock in place and most of all it was as slow as frig (it was only a 1.9D though).

Jeez, our wee caddy in work is fantastic. Its reliable, good to drive and best of all its a complete fookin rocket. Its a tdi though.

The last fella I worked for had 15 of them not a problem with any, mine was an Sdi not bad for a van

Just back from the commercial auction empty handed so still looking for a decent wee van.
