On a V Plate, with 76k, would be my FIRST car, all round it looks straight fresh MOT, fresh tax and recent cam belt change. i think £500? shall i buy?

 

buy at that price, you will be able to get your money back at least, if its straight

 

a decent van will always make decent money so providing it's not riddled with tin worn get it bought.

 

its difficult to insure a car with commercial no claims if you ever want to swap back, well im finding it difficult anyway.

 

Depends who your insurer is Rich - I'm with NFU on my L200 and used 7 years NCB on it - With the policy details I asked them if I needed to use the NCB on a non-commercial vehicle would they honour it as normal car NCB come renewal time and they said yes - Got this in writing too to be sure

 

for me as my first car that van 'should' cost me 1.5k for first yer 3rd party fire and theft and 2k fullycomp. but im gonna stick with vans for a while, then swap to cars when im about 20, well thats the plan anyway.
