Hi guys,
Looking to get a van but would like to know what people would suggest. I have a budget of around a grand. I like the look of hyundai h100's, i might get a nasty old t4 or newer transit if I'm lucky. Whats the J stuff like? Not a fan of the vanette.
Anyone got any experiences of any, or any for sale. don't want anything bigger than a t4 and cant go as small as a combo or connect. Need it to throw motorbikes in the back and bicycles and maybe a bit of camoing with a matress in the back.
Cheers
Tom

Hi Tom
If you don't want something retro I think the best one for under a grand is a Scudo/Dispatch/Expert with an NA Diesel in it. They are bullet proof, economical and really comfy.
Also, two side doors as standard etc!

Hi Tom If you don't want something retro I think the best one for under a grand is a Scudo/Dispatch/Expert with an NA Diesel in it. They are bullet proof, economical and really comfy. Also, two side doors as standard etc! I'll agree with the n/a bit. They might be slow but no where near a PIA to work on as the HDi. My 2.0 HDi has been off the road for ages and you have to dismantle half the car just to get access for a clutch change. I should have bought a n/a instead although I also on reflection wished I'd got another Transit (had two before) instead of the Expert ! Paul h |

Cheers for the replys guys but i think the ones you suggest may be a bit small. My brother has just had a new partner with his work and it is a lot smaller than I had imagined. The scudo bnd expert are similar sizes I think. The thing that i though with the hyundai is the wheelbase is a bit longer isn't it?

If you can find a non rotten Vito then I would say it was perfect for what you are looking for.

Good luck finding T4s for a grand. If you can, I'll take 3 of them.

Before I got my rather fantastic fiat, I had a t4 and it was under a grand, with test and tax.

H100's are long, thats why they're popular with carpet fitters, J stuff expensive to buy even when knackered as most of it goes for export

I'd say save up pennies and buy the best Transit you can find - as I've already said I made the mistake of buying an 03 reg Peugeot Expert 2.0 HDi a couple of years ago and regretted it ever since.
