New van or commercial jeep?? ideas

sc86

My company jeep is starting to show its age so toying with the idea of a new van, i can claim back the vat as im vat reg and put it through the business
i would normally be against buying new but in this case it makes sense

i like the connects, was going to get the 100bhp swb but surprised to see its only a 5 speed , only the 120bhp lwb comes in 6 speed and i dont want a lwb

i have a jeep currently, 6 speed pathfinder so am also toying with getting new commercial jeep but to be honest i cant justify spending that much on one


anybody ideas before i get a connect?
priced new in uk with sterling and its cheaper to buy here

Someone posted a new Mercedes Vito here in January with new 161 plate, it had leather seats and was car like spec in the cabin with leather and AC, best van I have ever seen inside. Not sure on reliability if the new ones are better than the old which didn't have a great rep.

Pretty much like this...

You can get the 1.5Tdci 120ps in the SWB - Supplied a Limited model at the start of July. Originally ordered as a 1.6Tdci 115ps L1 but engine changes came in to force before it was built.

Customer added a few options on top of Limited spec and it was totally overkill for a van when it arrived - heated seats in a Connect with cloth is a bit much IMHO.

Transit Connect 1.5TDCI 120PS 220 L1 Trend - €20,500 ex. Works

i couldnt justify spending that much on a connect, is that the 1 has the stupid stripes on the bonnet?
