Take it easy mate.

I used to drive VW Caravelles (4 Motion) when i worked in a ski resort. They were amazing in snow with snow tyres. I am a big fan of them.

I am in the situation at the moment with what to do with my defender.

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Tonga Green

Confirmed price from a dealer today, accepted, it goes on Friday.

The head is pleased because it's a good price, the heart is a little sad to see it go.

Still not 100% decided on the California yet - it's up in Preston so the logistics are a little tricky, the dealer slightly annoyed us by offering a terrible p/x price then dithered even on that and now we are fully cash buyers, I feel he need to "do some more work" on price/delivery/whatever.

We shall see. Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

Cheers TI6 and Mike - not had a new vehicle delivered before. Anyone done car transporting on a new one? Not keen on getting it driven and I'd rather put the first miles on it! How about inspection/payment? Clearly don't want to front £45k if it's not 100% right.

Spot the naive goon! Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

get a lift and pick it up in person, its not every day you pop 45k on a tent with wheels. You want to make sure its right. I wouldn't want the 19year old yts lad spanking it down the motorway to deliver it personally.

ps you do know a double bed fits into the back of a disco right.

Get the train, do the inspection,pay for it, sign for it, drive it away. 45k on a van wow! You'll be the daddy on the surf run

got to be a better why of buying a 45k motor http://www.stablevehiclecontracts.co.uk/va...odWC3Vug#s thought about leasing through the business? its a van after all?!
