The dispatch is still hanging in there at the mo and ive yet to see anything worth buying but i cant decide what to buy anyway  was thinking of something 6 years or so old but maybe i should spend a few grand more and go for a 3 year old transit then sell it again in 3 years when it will still be worth a fair bit  what would you do ? |

I can't imagine many 6 year old vans looking that smart any more and you need to think about your image
What sort of price range are you looking at? What's your annual mileage?
I know you said in the past that you want a high roof MWB, but you're limiting yourself when doing this as they're not that plentiful. Could you not just have a standard MWB? Most MWB have approx. 2.8m floor space, which should be big enough for your needs
Also, are you looking to buy from a dealer or privately? You've posted up links before of vans, but they all seem to be in Bristol. If you searched further afield, you'll have a far bigger choice

Unless you get fed us as we sometimes do and fancy a change.  |

Have look at it, make sure it's been serviced correctly and on time. Make sure it hasn't been used and abused and see how much he wants for it |
