If your thinking of buying new . I would say go to the show have a good look around check the interior for the lay outs You like .Plus the price you want to pay . Have a good look at the exterior some are quite tacky . I think if you like everything . Get a price from a local dealer for the same van . They will be able to get that van even if they are not dealers for that make . Take a phone number with you and call them for a price from the show. .dont worry too much about reviews as long as you have a good warranty and you like everything .

Don't buy at the show. We have twice its not worth it . You have to travel if you need anything done . Buy local to you.
I'm sorry if anyone disagrees with this. But this has been my expeirience on our last vans . We now have a bailey they have agreed to us having all our warranty work done near to us . However this is not always the case.
Good luck

We bought a sprite at the show and we have had it serviced 2 miles away.  Swift would allow any warranty work if needed, to be done at any swift dealers as long as they were willing to do it.

You could always have a good look around at the show and buy from a dealer local to you.  It might be worth doing a forum search to see if your local dealer gets any mentions.

Bigbrood, you do not have to go to the NEC to get 0% finance. Swift are doing 0% finance on their vans whilst the show is on from 15th-20th. This applies to Swift dealers.

Hi Bob hubby spoke to the dealer today & he said we could have the 0% over 2yrs if we put down £6750 deposit & paid the other 10k over the 2yrs. Hubby wasn't happy with that deal, so he said we could borrow at 2.9% over a longer period. The dealer claims this deal will only be available until sunday when the show finishes. Yes your right the deal doesn't have to be done at the show. i think what he was implying was he needed to be at the show to check if we could get 0% finance. I thought i heard him say the deal would have to be done that day. If we go ahead, we are probably going to go for a 3yr payment option. This will leave us enough money in the pot then to buy a new awning & locks, aqua roll etc. My hubby will get back to him in the morning. Or should I say later this morning. Look at the time! I should be counting sheep :o)
