55 grand buys a lot of weekends in a B&B
They’re not for me, I’d pay half that and get a Transit or a Movano which will be cheaper to buy, cheaper to maintain, more reliable and they all look basically the same.

I agree. Depreciation is significantly greater however, but, as you say, you pay more in the first instance so it would be a false economy to buy based on that criteria. For me it was a bigger target base when it comes to sell

Yes I guess that makes sense re the target when you sell ad there’s quite a following. I suppose there’s not that many people buy new cars/vans outright these days so I didn’t really consider that. Hope it all works out and you don’t get stung but I doubt you will.
