"Thanks Peter, I used blue oil, think it was from screwfix, hope this is OK, been using the blower a bit lately.......... WOW! what a machine, knocks the socks off the br600, like you said it would 🤣 so glad I went for this one! "

Peter sellers replied to Mjc's discussion Van finance.

"Going to disagree here, we used to buy used with cash as at the time could not afford new. But numerous very expensive repairs along with the downtime changed our ethos to only buying new and only keeping for the 3yr warranty period. It has worked…"

"I may be on my own here but I've always avoided paying for things on finance. If you can afford to pay the finance you can afford to save and buy it outright plus you don't have any interest to pay so it makes them far cheaper.
Maybe I'm missing…"

"Thanks, I'll check it out. My vauxhall brava pick up was an Isuzu with vauxhall badges on and my vivaro is a renault with vauxhall badges on! "

"Thanks for that, I tend to keep my vans a long time- I've had two in twenty years, hence the question - I don't buy vans very often! "

Mjc replied to Mjc's discussion Van finance.

"Thanks, movano 21 reg £10k plus vat at a main dealer. I really like my vivaro but sometimes it's just not quite big enough."

Peter sellers replied to Mjc's discussion Van finance.

"I think that is true... but Id check with an Accountant or HMRC"

Peter sellers replied to Mjc's discussion Van finance.

"Martin, we have bought many new vans on finance. We usually put the vat down plus part ex value as the deposit. Disregarding the finance for the time being, the total cost of van can be written off either in one lump or spread over a few years, our…"

Andrew . Perkins replied to Mjc's discussion Van finance.
