Iveco Daily, Mercedes Sprinter, Renault Mascott, VW LT: Best Extra Bed Van Options Under $30K

Hello. I'm going to buy a van on a twin with a solid frame and little emergency. Buildings: box or tipping over, or bare frame, max budget 30,000. (I would like to fit in 25)

I am specifically considering: Iveco Daily, Mercedes sprinter, Renault Mascott / Master, VW LT, Mitsubishi Canter, Nissan Cabstar.

From what I see sprinters are very rusting, renowki after previous adventures with the lagoon 2 I'm afraid, I don't know maybe the delivery trucks have better . However, for the rest I have no insight. Maybe someone will tell you what to buy and what to avoid with a wide arc.

Dude, I would bet on LT CRAFTER, as you have noticed mega corroded sprinters, in masters it happened that there were crates, only for Iveco.

With the rest it is a matter of luck and car use, everyone has a different driving style, so I would suggest economics of exploitation than someone else's opinion. It is best to read about the specimens about their pros and cons.

Search for iveco. Ori parts are not terribly expensive, a solid frame, a hit properly cared for will pay back for trouble-free operation.

Sprinter 316 cdi 6 speed Max long time ago up. A solid autto from 180,000 km to now almost 300,000 km. Front suspension made. Replaced at this time, 2 sensors at the engine - where the rust strip is worn, the rest of the door sills can be tapped with a hammer - compared to the transcripts of 2014 - comfort and quality of the lead, only a higher grade ... and air vents all the time, eyes . Fairy tale engine burning and sila.
I have a vw t4 crates 2000 and this one is in rust though it is systematically supervised.
In the company, next to them, they use Nissan with cranes - very shapely and strong cars.
Note that the mass of tow trucks is on the iveco and sprinter chassis that shows something.
Renault master - version 120KM 2.5 dci does very large mileage - it's not 1.9 dci 120km. By comparing the master to the crafter, the engine will survive it 4 times - and 4 times you will spend less money on repair - for this in the budget you will not buy a crafter.

I like iveca mainly because of the solid frame on the channel bar, in sprinters / crafters this frame can crack. But a friend said that electrics are extremely problematic in ivory. I don't really take the Master into account because from what I see they are on single wheels and I need a twin. Mascots according to what they say have weak diffs.

Yesterday we released from the Iveco Daily 35- workshop, already done, after replacing the engine and gearbox with those that have 5,000 miles, because that old one at 65,000 showed a hoof, such a case.

I'll tell you I can't confirm it. We have several daily 3.0 before the lift and a few after lifts - containers, refrigerated trucks and tin cans. There is always something to do with the shit - butt when we connect easy to read errors.
You have to take into account that all cars that are not overly old have a lot of disadvantages - saving electrical cables from China - overly thin etc.
What most stuck in my memory is the iveco website we work with (or maybe its owner) - recommends replacing the chain somewhere around 400,000 km, one 460,000 km already has it replaced - there were no noises that would qualify chain accessories for exchange.

Of those you mentioned, I look after a few of those who are brutally exploited.
Iveco Daily - they manage, but their disadvantage is poor electrical installation, at least once a month some lights are missing. Chemistry transported on them and used alongside them is a bit contributing to this.
Nissan Cabstar - The engines and boxes could not withstand, they went to lighter work.
Mitsubishi Canter - Trouble-free for now, but the drivers complain that it is hopelessly driving, I didn't drive myself so I don't know how much the truth is.

Two types of boxes are fitted to the Iveca Daily. ZF is better and you have to look for such a chest.
As for the electrics in Iveco, the problem is with the rear harness and with modules placed near the radiator.
If you plan to carry loads, the design of the bearings in the rear bridge is important. There are solutions with one conical bearing per wheel and this must be avoided. It is similar with a very expensive solution connecting the bearing with the hub. The thickness of the bolts, which are the bolted wheels, is also important. Sprinters have the weakest.
