Let’s face it, vans aren’t cheap. Even the second hand market is off-the-scale expensive at the moment. Which is why you need to think carefully before you splash out on a new van. 

We’ve looked at the reasons why you might buy a new van and we’ve come up with a few ways to help you avoid such a big cost at a time when we’re all tightening our belts.

And if a new van is unavoidable, Whitebox and System Edström have teamed up to help you get organised now, without adding extra cost when your new wheels finally arrive.
