Viewed this one and think I might go for it.

Its from the same place as my last one. I really want to use the same bloke as im more than happy with his service and aftercare.

He said he will drop the price for me, not exactly sure how much yet tho.

ply lined and bulkhead.

2 side loading doors 3 front seats, and a payload of 1000kg which is nice.

Its mint aswell, not a mark on it.

Ive looked at other, including everyones suggesting on here, which thank you guys, but im not happy with the travelling aspect.

Seems pricey to me. Are you paying cash or finance ?

Theres a few on ebay a year or two newer for a couple of K less, extra 30k on the clock tho.

Couldnt you get a bank loan and pay cash and save even more

I would not consider the 1.6, underpowered and some report a problem with the turbo. Very overpriced IMO.

I have an 8 year old (old shape) 2.0hdi dispatch from new, which to date has been excellent. I hear the new shape is not quite as reliable so plan to keep it as long as possible.

Nice van fella I have one on a 10 plate paid slightly less than that.
mines 2.0hdi lwb

its a fantastic van I recommend the lwb as its massive in the back and 1200 kg payload.
they are great vans nippy.drive like a car and easy to park.
I tested a few vans and the dispatch was far better looking and a much better drive.

I would agree.
The steering wheel makes it look as if it's actually done more miles than stated, or it's had a hard life.
Neither is good.
