    Would look at something else, they are the biggest ball of crap ever to litter the roads. There is a good reason they are rare.
    If you get one new you might get a couple of years out of it, if you are easy on it but 2nd hand and you will live to regret it,even if you are an octogenarian , chain smoking, smack addict, blind, base jumper.

    Much as I admire the idea of the maxus and its interesting development story, I wouldn't buy one, bad power delivery, thin sheet metal, rattling interior, dodgy locking systems and dreadful gear change are the big gripes

    Transits are so cheap, its hard to overlook them.

    Jaysus - one of the parking crowds at LHR uses them and I can honestly say that they are atrocious ! You'll regret it.

    Mate bought a great Transporter for 800 in the UK and its an excellent yoke for the money.
