 Top 10 reasons to choose a a new van over a used van

Picking up an old banger might save you a few pounds, but did you know that leasing a new van from Low Cost Vans could actually SAVE you money in the long run?
Here are ten great reasons to choose a new van over an old used van:

10: Rust free

No matter how well it's been looked after, rust is an inevitable result of ageing. A used van could be riddled with bronze stains in places you'd never think to look, leaving you to find out the hard way when something breaks. A new van from Low Cost Vans is guaranteed to be rust-free.

9. Carefully looked after

If it's your van, you can look after it as you see fit. But you can't rely on previous owners to have shown it the TLC it deserves. In fact, it could be in such a bad state that you might soon be on the market for another van soon after buying it. Why waste time and money when you could pick up a new van in the first place?

8. Suspension you can rely on

What would you do if your suspension went without warning? Besides being a very costly trip to the garage, it could also see you off the road and out of work for quite some time. Is it really worth the risk?

7. Warning lights

If you see a light unexpectedly flickering on your dashboard, it's usually an early warning sign that something isn't right. With a used van, you have no idea if these are tell-tale signs of a long-term problem, and you might only find out when things get expensive. All Low Cost Vans vehicles come with a three-year warranty from the point of registration. 

6. Brakes in perfect working order

It doesn't matter how much of a bargain it is, if the brakes fail on you, your van is as good as worthless. Don't risk your safety, along with your passengers and other road users - make sure your brake discs and pads and are up to the job, as they are on a every new van from Low Cost Vans.

5. Miles on the clock 

Even a low-mileage used van comes with potential pitfalls. Have the previous owners been keeping up with their regular services? With a new van, you know exactly when and where it's been for each and every mile you drive.

4. New tyres

A new van means a brand new set of tyres, and nothing gives you the confidence to drive like a new set of tyres. With a used van you'll probably have to replace all of the tyres, and how much will that set you back? Doesn't that just cancel out any savings you might have made by cutting corners in the first place? Or do you just risk it, and run the chance of causing even more damage, and possibly even a major accident?

3. No invisible leaks

Some leaks are easy enough to spot. A big puddle of oil underneath the van? Then it's probably a leak. But what about those more subtle drips of water which are far more difficult to detect, and far more damaging in the long run? A faulty radiator could put an end to your vehicle before you even begin.

2. You can save money

It might sound like a contradiction, but you could actually save money by leasing a new van from Low Cost Vans instead of gambling on an old banger. Think about it - yes, it might be a few pounds cheaper to begin with, but when things start to go wrong the garage bills and lost days at work will soon add up. Is it worth the risk?

1. A fresh-smelling and pristine interior

Nothing beats having clean seats, clean seat belts, and that fresh-from-the-factory smell that you'd expect from a new van. It sure beats the unexpected sights and strange odours that you might find in a used van. If the previous owner had a particularly smelly occupation, trust us - there are some smells which will never go away, and which only become apparent when it's too late!
