Has anyone else seen the amount of accessories you can get nowadays when buying new vans? There are an enormous amount of things that can be bought when specifying the exact needs for your van purchase. Earlier, I went down to my local Mercedes van dealership with the hope of buying a brand spanking new vehicle from them. In fact, within only ten minutes, I found the ideal van parked on one of the loading bays. Before I knew it – I was having a cup of tea with a very nice young lady who was telling me more information about the van in question. Eventually we got down to the nitty gritty of costs and “added extras”. By the time I had told her what add-ons that I would like to be included with the purchase, I had added around £5,000 extra on to the actual vehicle price! I couldn’t believe it. All I could remember was ticking the ‘blue tooth connector’ and ‘alloy wheels’ boxes. To think that I had come with such a simple task; to buy a new van for my new line of work, which involves carrying big loads of scrap metal from one place to another. I had no idea that there was so much variety when it comes to van accessories. I suppose that is the issue you have when buying new. For example used vans come as they are sold. (more…)

Vauxhall Senator
Tuesday, July 7th, 2009
The name of Senator usually suggests a superb or sublime character of an object which carries that additional mark. It is not much different in this case.

CPO Cars and their Checks
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009Any approved used car is known to have undergone many rigorous technical checks and the purchaser will pay for its good overall condition. And even if a used car is nearly new, it still has some history that also needs to be checked. Some car producers rely on the essential security measures, such as checking the Vehicle Registration Mark (VRM) and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to make sure that they are clearly visible and can be confirmed in the car’s papers. There are some manufacturers though for whom the basic check is not satisfactory enough. They hire specialist companies that deal solely with investigating the used cars history. (more…)
