New vans can cost a lot of money, but there are plenty of used vans for sale, both from private owners and dealers and this can be a cost effective option for those drivers looking for a replacement van.
Don’t forget that used vans hold their prices well, so you should still expect to pay a fair amount for a van with under 100,000 miles on the clock and it may be a good idea to visit a dealer as not only will they offer you a warrantee in most cases but you will also be able to trade in your old van (or a car) against the new one.
Before you buy a used van make sure you do a little research on the models you will be going to look at, so that you know common problems to look out for as this could save you a lot of money later on.
For example Fiat Ducato Vans often have problems with gearboxes wearing quickly and these will need to be replaced after 60,000 miles in many cases (particularly models between 2000 and 2006) as this can cost a lot of money.
