Why didn't know you wait until the 1st march? When the brand new shape comes out?

The price was the same, but on the new shape you get interest free payments,aircon, alloys and bluetooth.

Oh well glad you are sorted :)

Exactly mate. Thats why I decided to go for it.

The perks of the Dispatch, I get anyway with this Berlingo. 3 seats, high payload and side door.

If I may make a suggestion.......make sure you have a man with a red flag walking in front of the van whenever you drive anywhere.  ;D

What deal did you get on it price wise.

I need another van this year and can't decide.

What is the payload?

I inquired about a new dispatch last year and someone on the service side at the dealership said they thought the Berlingo was a better van (I think he meant it was more reliable).

The payload is the higher one (850 i think)

I know when I looked the higher payload was only available on the swb. Maximum payload on the lwb was 750kg.

Better choice than the new dispatch IMO.

I prefer the Berlingo (looks wise) than the Dispatch aswell.
