Pickup? - M.Stipe
Hi I'm in-between cars and have we just purchased a new house that requires refurbishing. Rather than fill a new car with plasterboard and old bathroom suites I?ve decided to buy a used pickup for up to around £2.5k. Any recommendations, or ones to avoid?

Thanks

Im talking p/r/s registered by the way, why? because they are nearly bulletproof and can be fixed with 2 hammers (usually)
Bare in mind you are banned from the local tip unless you prebook as you are deemed as being trade.
As in another thread be aware of speed limits as well, they are different for this vehicle .
Somebody will be along in a minute and recommend something like a peugot large cube van as you can buy one for a grand,well remember this, its a grand for a reason .

Buy an old 405 estate and a trailer! That way you can get into the tip without grief!

It works for me....
