Thinking of buying a new Transit Custom Sport or Limited, I’ve got quotes from Evans Halshaw, Arnold Clark and TC Harrison, still waiting on Lookers getting back to me, can anyone recommend any others? looking to buy, not to lease, thanks
May I ask what size tank you have? I’m in the same position as you and have a 650 ltr tank so need to get the correct payload
I currently have a 750 litre tank in a 2015 transit custom limited 310, I needed the 750 tank for when I employed. I now work on my own so will only use around 400 litres per day so the new Custom Sport 290 will be sufficient, for a 650 litre tank you will need a minimum of the 310 I would think.
Looks like I should be buying your van off you then

I will be selling it April/May if I’m getting a new van.

That was the problem with mine 4 years ago and why I had to wait 6 months because I wanted the 330 LWB Crew Cab 150 BHP and I wanted some other weird things like the foldable roof bars, full size HD Tyres and no Alloys.  They told me at the time that no one had ever ordered the 330 LWB ::)roll

So that’s the new van ordered, won’t be here til May as it’s a factory order😢. Decided on the Transit Custom 290 Sport Auto. Not the best payload ever but it will be sufficient for me as I work on my own now. I preferred the 290 over the 310 as it has nicer alloy wheels, 18” compared to the 17” wheels on the 310. The best deal I could get was from Lookers Sunderland, got just over 7K off list price with 0% interest, think it was a minimum 20% deposit to get the 0% interest.

Had you ever condidered getting a hi-top? I am looking at getting a second hand LWB but was wondering if a high top would be more benifitial. Also meeting my accountant on Friday do hopefully she can suggest the most cost efficient way of getting it.
