Five Reasons for Choosing a New Van Over a Used Van

Whether you’re starting out and looking for some vans for your business, or need to replace some of your older vehicles, one of the biggest debates is whether you should buy a new or used van.

Van Sales UK has put together this helpful guide on why to choose a new van over an old one.

New Parts

When buying a new van, you know that every part of that car is fresh and new. This means that you will have less trouble with issues such as parts wearing down or not working optimally. The brand-new parts have the longest life possible, so you won’t have to worry about hefty repairs or replacing older parts too soon.

Environmentally Conscious

As we all try to do our part for the environment, buying a new van is a great step to aid with this. As technology advances, cars and vans have added new features and parts to make them more environmentally conscious. So buying a new van will almost certainly produce less emissions than buying an old van with an outdated engine. You could even go electric and cut emissions out completely!

Low-Mileage

Low-mileage vans are usually the ideal choice for anybody, regardless if you’re buying new or old. Buying a new van will mean you’re starting from scratch with a vehicle that has very little mileage. It also means if you come to sell your van, the low mileage will make it desirable on the resale market.

Modern Features

Buying a new vehicle will mean you get access to the most up-to-date features available in this model. This could include improved engines, handling and features inside the cabin such as the infotainment system, air conditioning and satnav.

Image

Buying a new vehicle over a used one can help to improve the image of your business. By driving around in a brand new vehicle, complete with a fresh paint job and the latest features, your customers and others seeing your brand will know that you’re a business that cares about its image and is presenting itself well. Customers seeing you drive around in a new van with your branding may even entice customers to work with you!

"First time using Vansaway! I was in a bit of a panic as my van broke down and I was unable to fix it. My van is my livihood, so I looked into leasing and contract. I wish I done it sooner. I spoke to Jonathan as my first point of contact. I couldn't have got any luckier having him as my support. He was absolutely fantastic, he went above and beyond to help me. He was easy to contact and would always reply when I had any concerns or questions. His knowledge on all vehicles was impeccable, which made things easier. He listened to what I wanted and needed and explained everything thoroughly help me making the right choice in plan and kept in touch throughout the entire process! He knew I was in desperate need of a van and he did not disappoint and kept his word and I was able to get my new van delivered as soon as possible. Enjoying the drive. Its great about the perks involved in having a contract hire as well! Thank you so much for everything! Highly recommend, vans are just not how they use to be, so its great to have a brand new van along with the support of any engine faults things like that. A huge stress off my shoulders being sole trader."

"We cannot fault the service we have received from everyone we have dealt with at Vanaways and will definitely by contacting you again when we come to replace our next vehicle……. On the whole, Customer service, these days, I have found to be quite disappointing and frustrating – I wish more companies showed the care and attention to detail that you guys have shown… you have restored my faith in Vehicle sales teams!! I would not hesitate in recommending you and wish all of our suppliers were are easy to deal with as you have been!! Thankyou especially to Shina and Sophie...."

"VWS Limited recently leased three vans through Vanaways, and we could not fault the service we received. Rod in Sales and Ash in Delivery were both extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire process. They made every aspect of arranging the leases straightforward and kept us informed every step of the way. We are delighted with our new vehicles and would have no hesitation in recommending Vanaways to anyone looking for a professional, efficient, and customer-focused vehicle leasing service.
