Hey guys
I'm looking to buy a van. Probably a small transit like those Peugeot Expert, Citroen Berlingo etc etc.
I've never owned a van before so I need some advice. I'm looking on ebay and there are some good prices on there.
What advice can anyone give me.
Where to look?
What questions to ask?
Should I expect a test drive?
What if it isn't taxed, is it worth a look without a test drive?
tell tale signs of any engine or gearbox problems
Any questions about security/locks?
Anything about mileage.
I'm looking for something that is around £600-900 for use on weekends. Has to be diesel, can be as old as T reg although I'd prefer something close to W reg or newer if possible.
Does it look possible for me to get a decent van with those requirements?
I wouldn't even mind looking at some VW transporters if I could find something affordable.
Any tips, advice or links to decent listings would be appreciated.
