About to put both the firms vans for sale in the next few days, which consist of a 59 astra van and a 54 vivaro. The astra is now too small for it uses and the vivaro is a SWB and needs to be swapped with a tipper/crew cab van

Looking to buy replacements for both, 1x medium size van with 10k max budget and 1x tipper/crew cab van for around 6-8k

Options please!!!

Not fussed on colour as there getting rapped! more into value and millage

would really recommend the VW vans to be honest. We use them for transporting all our parts around at work. Reliable little work horses. We picked up a 60 plated 1.9tdi caddy for 9k ish

In comparison to say a 280 transit I would disagree

Transit every time, we put serious miles on ours and haven't had a break down yet. (5 vans) the new 2.2 ones have a lot less room in the cab though.

Depends on whether you want newer vans than what you currently have, and if mileage bothers you.

VW vans hold their value stupidly well, so personally I'd say Ford Transit Connect LWB for your medium van and a Transit Tipper for your other one?

Or maybe a T5 Transporter / Transit for your medium van and a Transit Tipper for you other one?
