Yes the £49k price I got was on a basic Coast....In an ideal world id like a lot of the extras, but my thinking is that I'll be keeping the van 2 years and I wanted to do it the cheapest way possible. After looking hard into the 2nd hand prices of 1, 2, 3, 4 (etc) years old vehicles...I noticed that you don't really get back all the money you pay for extras when you sell, so I will buy new basic for £49k and in 2 years I reckon I'd get £46k for the van, so the whole venture has only cost £4k AND I've got a new van for 2 years with no previous owners.
The ONLY snag holding me back is the wait times of up to 6 months!! Kinda takes the edge of it. I know that's through winter, but I'd probably use it all year round.
The other idea was to wait for the depths of winter and hope the 2nd hand prices come down....
I just resent paying £46k for a 2 year old vehicle when I can get a brand new one for £49.
