Re: Vehicle
Have an ’05 VW Transporter LWB, near 1/4 mill’ miles on the clock.
Am thinking of changing as its costing a bit to keep on the road in its old age, was thinking maybe getting a Citroen Dispatch or Peugeot Expert.
Any views on those anyone?Re: Vehicle
You’re lucky Seamy, my 59 plate has been a pig.
23000 new cylinder head would have been £3200 but under g’tee 18 months
54000 new dmf clutch £650
now 64000 drive shafts on the way. Approx £800
It’s on it’s way after a service tomorrow.
Worst van I’ve ever had, my LDV Pilot was basic but soldiered on for 98000 until I upgraded to this waste of space.
“If only everything was as reliable as a VW” yeah right!
And I drive gently.Re: Vehicle

Nope a car is a car not a commercial vehicle. You won’t be able to offset the costs fully.

As I thought Bryan, I just wondered about the guys who had estate’s- guess they just prefer a car & not bother about the Tax incentives.
Maybe I’ll keep the van a bit longer!

You could always get a van with a crew cab the transits are as good as a car to drive.

THe most tax effective way to run an estate would probably be to finance it privately and claim 45p per mile from your business (reducing to 25p per mile after the first 10,000 miles each year), the standard HMRC mileage allowance which is tax free.

Ok, thanks – that may be worth consideration , I’ll have a word with my Acc’.
I quite fancy the idea of running around in a ‘state 😆

And I drive gently.Have had the clutch done at 120k, gearbox bearings done too, drive shafts went twice. They’re expensive to buy and to keep serviced.
