Nissan commercials now 5 years
That dealer wont be as bad as the one near me. One of our friends, who used to work high up in ford, told us that ours was the worst dealer in the country!

I'd rather do 10 domestic job than one commercial job.

Not done much commercial have considered giving it another try but having to constantly chase for money is a pain and then keeping on top of multiple invoices for different sites. The pay was not as good as it should have been due ti being on price work and there always been an issue out of our hands mostly the idiot measuring up and organizing for the panels to be made and then effing it all up so wrong sizes bits missing etc

Sooo,,,
After having multiple annoying things going wrong I've decided instead of getting another vehicle, to upgrade my van.
I don't like this idea cos I spent nearly 2 weeks rigging my van for tools but I've decided on an Iveco Daily which has the capacity to pull 3.5 tons.

Not sure mate.
Went into a van place today. They offered £5000 for mine. Said they'd keep an eye for what I'm looking for and phone me.
I might get 7k for it private but I'd lose the VAT if I'm correct on that. Not sure but if they can give me a decent price on a vehicle then I might take their 5k.
If the van can carry on board 1.5 tons is it legal to load with a micro digger or mini dumper?

I've got a 5 year old vivaro SWB 90ps with tow bar, rear view camera and racked to the max. 44250 miles currently. Yours for 7k with a set of 5 spoke alloys and the original wheels with tires brand new on them. Rear door ladder and 1k roof rack.
Couple of minor scratches and a dent under left arch.
Rear view camera has stopped working though. But it's fitted. Probably a wiring issue.

Vat on purchases made before registration on items such as vans machinery etc can be reclaimed as far back as four years before registration.
I think you need to do this soon after registration, best have a word with your accountant if you use one.
Mine seemed to be unaware of this and it could have lost me a lot of reclaimed Vat if I hadn't found out myself.

Better off with a transit........
Ford make the best commercial vans/pickups.
