im after a vw transporter t30 or t32 2.5 130bhp lwb if anyone knows of one for sale

[alanwilson]

why would you want either of them.

174bhp is what you want.

[NWH]

t30-t32 is the payload,and Alan is right i wouldn`t bother with the 130 i`m going for the 174.

[STEVE-UK]

alan - i would prefer a 174, but you dont get them for under 10k thats why have stated the 130 as you can get them for around 9k inc vat as its the same 2.5 engine 5 cylinder engine.i dont even want to pay that really

NWH - there the only payloads im after as i want 650 litre + water tanks

[alanwilson]

even the t28 102bhp has a 1 tonne payload which is more than adequate for a 650ltr tank.  t30 probably best option, you can get a 174 for less than 10k but not many around at that price.  whichever you choose they are superb vans

[Moderator David@stives]

I have got a t32 102 hp swb , more than fast enough and i can cary anything having a 1.4 ton payload

[STEVE-UK]

Dave - that sounds an ideal van ,the heaviest payload and the most economical engine with just enough power. i would be happy with one of those but need a long wheelbase

I've got the T30 LWB 130hp, will do 125mph top end and accelleration even with an auto box will leave most cars standing - dread to think how fast the 174hp is !!

They are silly quick for a van.

I have the 174bhp sportline, its chipped now as well, probably somewhere around 200bhp now.  Its pretty quick for sure but handles nicely too.
