We may talk about buying a van until the cows come home, but unless your business has a healthy bottom line, then making do with older vans or leasing is the only option. The decision to lease or not may have a lot to do with the costs of running the van and the image it presents of your business. Older vans means no monthly payments and yes we know some of these vehicles just keep on going and going. But when it comes to fuel economy, one the highest motoring costs and how you represent yourself to the world, then van leasing is probably the way to go.
Van manufacturers have got themselves together recently when it comes to fuel economy with engines that do series miles per gallon. Also the day of taking a car design then adding a van body also seems to have changed on the smaller vans. Modern van manufacturers now design from scratch based on business needs and requirements. Leasing a van also keeps money in the business to use on other things such as surviving or marketing etc, you get the picture. Of course the downside is how well you look after these vans. employees car sometimes not treat a new van as if it were theirs, so residual values may change when it comes to handing the vehicle back. So if you are a business looking for new transport, then at last consider the possibilities, to reducing motoring costs and delivering a better message.
