Must be crewcabbed or be able to have seats added and £6k is the upper limit price wise. Will put a lot of miles on it too.

What is there?

high milage

You could probably get a decent Hilux for that money.

transit crew van, ex utilities
can keep the bikes inside, sleep inside, stand-up to change inside
comfy seats, simple, mile crunchers

not for speedy overtaking, but you are basically looking at commercial vehicles

LDV Crew Cab

and change from your cash!

If you buy an LDV you will have to leave a day early

and be a member of the AA and youll by merit get on first name terms with your local garage !

Plenty of hitop LWB Transits around from the Railways etc.

What size van do you want?

Not that big. Something normal wheelbase and height – transporter sized.

you;ll need a long wheelbase to get crewcab plus room for bikes in the back

I get that owning a Renault Master

nbt – no you dont.

ex-AA transpoter springs to mind, the south west is over-run with these.

or get seats & windows fitted after, this way you have a wider choice.

For that budget:

Transit (4-5yo) lots available and hundreds of options

Renault traffic/ vauxhall vivaro (4-5yo) less available in crew cab, these are known to have gearbox issues.

VW – your looking at either a bit ropey or very old/ high mileage for 6k.

I'd be looking for a transit – not the best van but pretty good to drive (for a van) parts and servicing is not too expensive and there is a lot of choice (you can be picky)

Would a Fiat Mutipla with a tow bar rack do the job? Pig dog ugly though!

Hi-ace and add seats/window (circa 1k extra).

>What am i looking at?

Tears in the eyes of dolphins.

transits aint what they used to be – my fathers 08 transit has been a pig. owned since new , owner driven and regular driving and dealer servicing – so much so that it put me off buying one when i bought my peugeot.both his older (F plate and K plate) smiley faces just kept on trucking even with 200k on the clock comparitively to his new one they were bombproof – look at transit an transit connect issues on google.

electronics/ecu , EGR valve ,windowwiper motors , heated windscreen failed , shoddy interior thats falling to bits after 50k and brakes have failed. needless to say at the end of its lease its going back – hes never been so glad to have leased a vehicle.

Espace, and dump the extra seats.
