It is really hard to choose a car, I have the same issue.
In new cars:
Toyota Hiace
- Is a car that will run for a long time with little problems.
- Not to nice, but ok
- Expensive where I live because of high co2
- Payload appx 900-1000kg
- Not much to repair
VW Transporter
- Looks good
- Cost a bit
- People say that there is some problems with it, more than Hiace.
- Payload appx 900-1000kg
- Some repair work is needed usually
Citroen Berllingo L2
- Cheap
- OK to drive
- Payload appx 800kg
- L2 version have 2.05m length in the back (enough for poles?)
- Workshop?
Citroen Dispatch
- Ok price
- Ugly
- Payload appx 1000-1200kg
- Workshop?
