LONG, short, high, low, fast, slow, heavy, light and sometimes they come in All Black!
No, I’m not describing the recent Rugby World Cup Champions, the mighty New Zealand All Blacks but just some of the basic questions that need answering when selecting a new van.
And if you think that all those options are repeated many times across all the manufacturers then it becomes apparent that it makes sense to take some advice.
Should you buy, lease or contract hire?

Should you buy, lease or contract hire? Have you used this year’s AIA (ask your accountant what that means, he charges you for that stuff!)
When that has all been decided then it’s time to gather the information. The sales team at Alpha Contracts have a wide spectrum of contacts and can help with more than just the price. We know where the hard to find stock is, and with Ford currently quoting 38 weeks lead time for a FWD Transit it pays to know whether a RWD is available more quickly. (You can ask us about FWD and RWD, we know that stuff and don’t charge you!) If you consider that 38-week delivery time is for a standard van, not one with special options then you can appreciate that it pays to let someone else do the legwork for you.
Then, finally, arrange the credit and you can order your van. Alpha Contracts have a panel of lenders that can cope with all your circumstances whether you are a sole trader, partnership or limited company.
It is easier than it sounds, a bit like playing walking football, but from personal, painful experience, take my advice and don’t fall over… why not give the Commercial Sales team at Alpha a call on 01604 756620?
Finally in a week where more confusing news came out of the VW group a statistic from the US confirmed that sales of group product went UP in October! There was probably a bit of help from VW in those figures but it shows that the basic product remains a good choice.
