Anyone bought a v-dub van and then wondered why it cost so much money?
And willing to admit to it if so??
I’m about to order a new van for work. It’s only me who drives it and I’m going a bit posher this time. It will be auto.
Shortlist is Peugeot/ Citroen Expert/Dispatch , Tranny Custom, or VW T6
Cheapest is the Pug at £23K for top of the range 180bhp auto with towbar and Grip control (which looks very good on Youtube)
Tranny Limited 130 Powershift with an extra side door and towbar is about £25K
VW Highline DSG 150 is over £33K by the time an extra door and decent lights are added. Even black paint adds over £500 🙄
Yes, I know that resale is higher, but not that much…
If it was head and shoulders above the others I wouldn’t mind paying the extra, but they all drive really nicely. The Tranny being the best imo. They are all luxury though really compared to the vans I was driving a few years ago. I could find very little to seperate them really.
The grip control and extra power from the Pug appeals. I’d expect reliability to be much and such between all three.
Just where does the extra £10K for the VW go?
