I'm in the market for a new van and there doesn't seem to be any deals at all. I don't need it until next May but I'm planning for a 20% price increase on January the first so need to get it bought, I've got storage arranged. 20% on the price of new Crafter is a lot of money.

Ford are doing some very good deals and Citroen too

Might I just add that it's an excellent colour too?

Just bought a SKoda yeti 2litre TDI 60 MPG horrid little thing with a wierd 4x4 system but only £30 road tax whats not to like...

Bit of a dull car compared to most on here but I like it and it drives nicely. Was good on the recent holiday and I think being an old(ish) school 2 litre meant performance wasn't dulled 4 up with luggage. And it managed 54 odd mpg on the computer down to Minehead.

Just wish the paint didn't stone chip so easily. Anyway I washed it so have a picture.

We've taken out some chip protection insurance (or whatever it's called) on the wifes new car (it was kind of thrown in to sweeten the deal), apparently she can call them out to fix up to 20 chips a year!

I added to my car a similar thing where damage up to something like 12 inches will be repaired by a 3rd party place with no insurance. I can have I think 18 call outs in 3 years. It's mainly for car park scrapes but includes chips but they have to be within 12 inches of each other to be 1 call out But I reckon I've touched in well over 30 odd stone chips already since I got it To be fair the majority were pre me, but I did about about 12 small ones on Fri. I think it's a combination of very thin paint and black primer under white paint so they are really noticeable. But some of the chips have gone to bare metal My old car had wayyyy less chips and was 9 years old and never washed.

It's a shame as other than the paint I really like the car. It's not quick, but it's nice to drive.

This might be worth a punt

Is the centre console just a box?? If so I’ve got a coin tray type thing that sits in the top, I bought it when I had my 3 sport.
Want it? Any use to you?

I live within 5 miles of where this is (I have never seen it on the road) I might pluck up the courage and go for a look
