A question about : Buying a company van

Hello,

A week or so ago I found a thread here about a paid-for checking facility on buying a used vehicle, and now I can't find it!!

I'm a total donut when it comes to buying cars, but I'm in a position where I need to buy a company van. It will almost certainly be a used vehicle and I'd like to ensure it is totally legit.

What is the facility called, and can anyone tell me which criteria I need to be aware of when buying, so that I make sure I use the most comprehensive facility?

Thanks in advance experts,

BB

Best answers:

  • AA or RAC do vehicle checks.
  • Given how relatively slow depreciation is on a used van, and how good business lease prices are on new ones, I'd be looking very carefully at the sums.
  • Thanks to both of you. AdrianC depreciation is a real blind spot for me. Do you have the time to elaborate on why a leased van might be a better idea?
  • AdrianC thanks for the reply. My accountant puts depreciation on my accounts every year, and it's one of those things I've never got around to trying to understand. Will chat to him about it.
  • Are you VAT registered.
  • Hi Mark yes I am.
