I am looking for a new van for my business and their are so many out their i wondered what vans you guys use for work  I like the look of the new Suzuki Carry vans but don't know if they would have enough go on motorways

Watch the height for getting ladders on and off.
There are still a few escorts about which are the perfect height. I just bought an '51' reg for £5400

[STEVE71163]

Thanks Simon,
                     I like the Escort Vans but i don't think it would be big enough to take all the other things i would need to put in it like floor polishers and carpet cleaning machines etc.

Hi Steve,
I have a astra van , but when I get my next I will go for one that has a side door as well like the midi, I think that could be the size for you.Will it be cash at the end of the tax year  

[STEVE71163]

Thanks John,
                   Is the Midi the size of a transit van

Hi,
      The van of choice for my area(weston and surrounding)seems to be the astra van as low height helps with the on and off of your ladders, great fuel economy and bullet proof on motorways.

I picked up mine a 99 model with 42000 miles,t&t for 3 grand .

                        Regards. Scott.

Hi Scott,
           Am i right in thinking that they do an Astra van with a slightly higher back

Steve

[scottrobinson]

Not sure if they do a new shape with a higher back are you thinking of the astra max ?
                                                        Scott.

[STEVE71163]

Maybe Is the astra max a bit higher

The midi is like the Scooby doo van  

[scottrobinson]

          Scott.

[STEVE71163]

Thanks John and Scott,
                                     I think i will go and have a look around at the local van sales tomorrow

Why not visit www.autotrader.co.uk you can click on vans then put a search in for a van in the price range you are looking for ,  then click on show how many,  you then get a choice of how many they show you .Some even have pictures ,then even a local search as in how many miles from your house you want to travel , thats how I got mine .

[STEVE71163]

Thanks John,
                   I will have a look. Does anyone on this site use a Suzuki carry or Bedford rascal type van How do you get on with the hight for ladders  

Steve

[Majestic]

Steve
Do you not think that they would be to small  

[STEVE71163]

I am not sure John Lots of the cleaning contractors around here use them. I was hoping to get a bit of feed back from someone with one to see how they get on with it.

Steve
I think that you can get the Berlingo, or partner with side door

[STEVE71163]

Thanks John,
                   I had a look on the autotrader site but unless i have not noticed a link i could not see vans
