Leasing a Van

[Munroast]

Id love my last new van.
If there was a really tasty racked out van sitting next to a proper Aston Martin. Id be all over the Van.

I would swap my van for an Aston Martin any day of the week

sell it and then buy another van

1. Get Mrs Bod passed her driving test and buy a second hand family car.

2. Those tools will not fit in a smaller van, keep it another 2 years and take it from there.

You need someone willing to swap.

She passed her test 30 odd year ago. Won't drive.

The tool and stock thing is part of the dilemma of what van to to buy. There really is so many different things to consider before I commit myself.

That racking system is Tevo it cost a fair bit. There wasn't much thought put into installing it, so its not very well organised.

That and there is a lot of weight that I really dont need to be lugging round. Im im trying to get rid of my stock and just carry essentials for emergency work. Then use the merchants as and when I need. Taking back what I dont use.

Id plan my next van to have a place for everything.

I get your all doing your best by me. I cant go into everything about my life as to why a new or used van is my best option. It just is.

I Need to work out whst van to buy.
○ New or Used it has to be reliable.
○ it needs to be big enough for all my tools.
○ Whats the future with Diesel?
○ Is petrol a better bet?
○ Hybrid is so expensive
○ The school I work at will have charging posts when its built in 2 - 3 years time.
• So to early to buy Electric.
▪︎ Electric vans are so cheap
●Is it a good enough reason to take the wack of more expensive electricity?

The way I see it is £40000 is far to much money but if I want reliability then maybe that's what I have to do.

Don't forget EVs range quoted is when empty, you have a lot of weight in them tools, you'd be lucky to get half the range

Thats right.
Also when will I benifit from the Electric.
Id have thought around town. But do some types only kick in after a certain speed

You've got to think - what does your current van not do, that a new one will? After a few months, the honeymoon period will be over, it'll drive a bit nicer and be a bit cleaner but will essentially be doing the same job as your old van.

We had the same dilemma with our car, we had a 2014 Captur Diesel, never gave us any problems but was looking a bit run down. Wife wanted a shiny new(er) car, so we bought an Audi Diesel, 2021. In the first 3 months of ownership, the Audi has given us more problems than the Renault ever did (luckily all fixed under warranty). The sound system is better, it's a bit quieter and obviously looks better inside. But that's it. We still use the Renault for school runs, taking kids to Rugby, and taking stuff to the tip, because we don't want to get the Audi dirty. So it's basically a luxury, not a necessity.

£400+/month for a "nice to have" or a luxury would be a lot of money for me

The best thing to do, even if it sounds mad. Empty out the front of the van and have it valeted, by a pro, it will make the world of difference.

Also get Mrs Bod some driving lessons with a specialized driving instructor.
