Best Van to buy secondhand

[therave]

hi all,
just looking for some advice.
thinking of starting a small part time business and will need a van,2nd hand,
any ideas suggestions,prices ,types.

probably go for a panel van like a transit and won't need to specialize it.
will be carrying mainly boxes,stackable and the odd bit of furniture.
thanks

I'm looking at vans at the moment. I was planning to buy a second hand Renault Kangoo (06, €3k, 70,000 kilometres) but was told that a Kangoo have consistent electrical problems and that this would cause me too much hardship in the long run.

I was instead advised to look into buying a Caddy as they are 'the best of the vans out there'. Anyone second that for me?

Thanks.

Some serious value in bigger vans out there at the moment, alot are being repossessed. I went to look at an '08 Merc Sprinter Long 315 and they're looking for €15k - reckon its €13k cash. Its racked already and they are showing receipts for about €46.5k.
