Tradies & Transits

[Snelens]

G'day all,

I have a little electrical business in the inner 'burbs of Melbourne. We currently have Toycar townaces, econovans, my FG ute & a vito.
They are all getting long in the tooth, or too small and need upgrading. We do a lot of service work so holding a lot of stock in the vans is handy.
Being a Ford man at heart I like the look of the new Transits, specifically a low roof, SWB version.
Now the confusion that I thought I would share with you guys!
I have thought about the Hiace but am not convinced about the safety (I couldn't bare the thought of one of my guys getting crushed legs) and the value / price equation is not great.
The iloads make me grin as for the price I can get a 2 YO Vito and they are a tad too small for what we do.
I have thought about going down the service body path from Cooks, TSB etc but am not convinced on the size and layouts.
I like the look of the VW's but service costs scare me.
The Vito has been great really but resale is not what I was hoping. Parts prices are OK but at the end of the day they are just a little too small.

So we are back to the Transit. What can the membership share with me?

Any opinions?

Thanks in advance.
