    nice one kasper, i agree about the transit sounding a bit rough i think they are more of a work horse than a comfi drive. il have a look at a couple vitos that are for sale on websites. they look a lovely van

    You'll have to lease a new vehicle for a start. And it will cost alot more than 7 grand over at least 2 years.

    And you'll have to lease through a company. And you'll need a very good credit rating.
