got to be a berlingo cracking little things and all the toys and no postman pat looks...........get one tomorrow consider new

Berlingo's dont have air con do they? So there out of the running, used to have a estate but want somthing bigger i can get couple of dog cages in back and sleep in overnight. So only a mpv would be big enough.

According to the website it is an optional extra so you might find one put there? Last time I was in a Citroen dealer it had a Berlingo loaded up with all the toys, so I wouldn't strike it off your list yet!

A berlingo is going to be too small, really am just looking at mpv's.

Are you really sure that a Berlingo is too small? They are surprisigly big inside, and before writing them off, I'd suggest taking a good look if you haven't aleady done so.
If the Berlingo definitely doesn't do the job, then I'd suggst that a van would give you much more room for your money and be better equipped to cope with the wear-and-tear. A friend who is a professional dog-walker uses a Fiat Scudo van which looks like a van version of the Citroen Synergie/FIAT Ulysse. It takes the dog cages comfortably, and is very nice in the cab, with a lovely ride.

So what kinda doggie thing you into? Breed? Obedience? Working Trials? Shutzhund?
Ie how big are the dogs and how many?
I am thnking if you have big dogs, and want to sleep in it then you need a big van.
The problem is most of the big MPVs with removeable seats and flat floors you wont get for your price range unless you go for the french jobs and are unreliable.

Not sure what price it would be worth now but my dad has an 806 with sliding doors, climate control, fully removable seats and sliding doors. His is a Y reg, would have thought they, or the Citroen |Synergie or Fiat Ulysses would maybe be in that price bracket?

We're very pleased with our Citroen C8, which replaced a similarly reliable Synergie.
I think there may be a few too many electric gizmos on the car for it's own good, and these can sometimes play up (i.e. the sliding electric doors occassionally take 2 attempts to shut), but it has never let us down. They can be bought new at very reasonable prices, so they might just be in your budget second hand. Failing that a Synergie/806 Ulysee is the same basic platform, altough not quite as nice to drive, slightly worse driving position, and a slightly smaller body.

How about a Picasso then? Really impressed by mine and would be able to get one in budget quite easily. Seats come in and out quite easily and has air con. And with the 2l diesel am getting over 50mpg.

I do agility with 2 collies and a springer.
I'm currently using a renault scenic and it's been fine no problems whatsoever.
