Salvage yards commercials - pugtk - 03-09-2012
Im just if someone could tell me of any salvage companies that specialise just in commercial vans
in the UK and NI
Or maybe lease plan vans(what companys use lease plan in the Uk??)
No shitters,were looking for fresh commercials 2004 -up
Or maybe some auctions
Myself and a few friends need some new vans and we ve been thinking of buying a couple that have light damage in a lot to get more of a saving(make it viable)
Since we have a workshop and equipment to fix these up,were planing on saving
some cash, but as you can understand we want to research into a bit more

If you're interested in Sprinters my mate works for Erith Commercials, if you hear someone that doesn't sound like a pikey that'll be Aaron.

Have you tried the site Blue Cycle (maybe one word) thats an auction site for accident damaged vehicles. Anything from cat a all the way to cat d. You have to pay to use it but you will make your money back easy off there.

ex BT is usually a very good choice. i think they auction them off at the change of reg numbers so every march and september. worth a look!

Royal mail might be worth a shout too.
Interesting fact. The new combo vans and courriers they just bought Brand spanking new (single digit mileage) they only paid £1k each! :-0

actually thats not a bad shout. my old dear has a ex royal mail peugeot partner and she bought that on 60k with full service history. bit battered up but never gone wrong once except for a sticky starter motor.
and that fact is shit. honestly think vauxhall would loose money on all of them!

Bluecycles used to be amazingly cheap. Now it's shit. Presumably because they have opened it up to the public. The retards on there now just push the prices right up!

A lot of the big utility providers do this, water, gas, electric, telecoms, etc.
Auctions are a good shout, big one near me: http://www.southamptonmotorauction.com/#

Yeah only reason why I suggested bt is because they actually buy the vans instead of leasing them and service them something stupid like every 6k
