Nissan Vanette
« on: October 25, 2009, 10:43:16 pm »
Hello, i need to get myself a van soon as i cant keep woking from a c-max with the seats folded down for much longer, ive spotted a nissan for sale locally for 650 and was wondering if anyone has had one as a WC van?

i will be making the full switch to WFP next year when funds allow and i think this van has a payload of 955. I currently am just making the switch over partly and im using a backpack till i get the hang of everything and i make sure my customers are happy with the new service. o think for the price i cant really go wrong, but i dont want to buy it now only to find that they are not big enough to fit a 400L tank in

cheers ste

I have a Nissan Vanette Cargo 2.3d they are woefully under-geared and under powered, noisey and very thirsty..now put 400litres in it and it really is a wallowing, slo boat...If have had my time again I would steer well clear.

It will fit a 650l flat tank very nicely and still leaving you with plenty of room...now read above.

Cheers
Dave.

Agree 100%
Underpowered, noisy and thirsty.

They are underpowered and noisy but they are also very reliable and a perfect size for the estates - not too small so that you are cramming in loads of stuff and not too big so that they are difficult to negotiate. Very roomy and the hi-roof means that with the tank out I have come in handy for friends and family wanting to move stuff etc.  :)

My van is a 1997 with 70,000 miles on the clock and after a thorough service and exhaust change earlier this year the noise quietened down and it is a smoother drive. Even through the harsh winter of last year the van never failed to start.

Try the expert/ dispatch/scudo, there they same van with different badges on em.
You get 3 front seats on most models plenty of room in the back.
900 KG Payload on turbo diesel 815 on straight diesel.
Two side loading doors.
Great on fuel.
Personaly myself i would opt for the turbo diesel as its a much better performence than the staraight diesel lump

2.3 nissan engine, might be slow might be noisey, underpowered not really, reliable yes.The only time it will need to go to the garage is to pass it's MOT.

expert/ dispatch/scudo after 8/5/4/ years only good for scrap
