totalshell Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 the 3 seats is the deal killer as it moves choice from car based vehicles to panel type and therefore costs runnunig and purchase rise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratman Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Thanks for that, may go and have a look at at a fiat scudo, are you saying they are classed as commercial vehicles therefore more insurance and tax ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratman Posted April 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 With rising fuel costs and current diesel vehicle only doing 25 to a gallon, thought a small panel van would be the obvious choice but does nt appear to be a lot of 3 seaters about.

guys Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) This is my perfect small van, a VW Transporter 1.9 TDI (short wheelbase). Running costs are ok, and it fits in most car parking spaces. I have no other car. Edited June 16, 2012 by guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 wonder if you'd get a trials bike in one of these? http://citan.mercede...#/istanbul.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
