    That van is my workhorse.
    I can put 4 385/65 tires in the cargo area.
    Tax and insurance is cheap as it is light freight.

    Ps not really a minivan.
    Seats just 5.
    Cargo at the back.

    I was just joking. I figured it was a work van and not a typical minivan to fit a bunch of kids. Lol

    here lot of owners of transport companies are buying them. mixto is N1 and considered as a transport van, this means it is in tax system and all costs regarding it are considered as company costs. they are now 2800kg due new law regarding tachograph, before they were 3200kg. customers ask for highest equipment and power levels. you can get now 124d. webasto is mandatory too.

    They are to wide for a minivan.
    Think off it as a short low Sprinter van.
    It just can get into multy level carparks here.
    But no room to spare in height.
     
    spsauerland Thanks this.
