Its been far too long and I need a van. I am sick of cramming boxes into the cl55 for delivery's.

I would like the 5/6 seater model where the back seats fold forward so you can use as a normal delivery van but fold the seats out if you want to take passengers.

budget is lowish, the closer to 50,000aed the better,but still want something decent.

if you see anything buying please post it up here for me.

Thanks

Oh I should mention I am not limited to those 2. If something else is good and available feel free to post, but has to be practical.

Recently sold our company Urvan, wouldn't buy again. We have owned all Japanese brand van. Short review follows:

Mitsubishi L300
Bought brand new in 1998
Interior was not really comfortable, quality below avarage
Engine 2L consume petrol like 2.4L low in power
Over all quality not on par with segment leader then Hiace

Mazda E2000
bought used in 1999 (94 model), another in 2000 (96 model)
Interior improved not really comfortable, quality avarage
Engine 2L consume petrol like 2.4L low in power

Toyota Hiace
Bought brand new in 2002
Interior very comfortable, Toyota quality
Engine 2.4L carburetor, powerful for its time, with full load I tailgated Mercs, Bimmer doing over 130 km/h, no joke
Had also driven new 2.7L, man o man, so much torque. Well built and comfortable

Nissan Urvan
Bought used in 2010 (model 07)
Interior very comfortable but quality sucks, literally
Engine 2.4L weaker than Hiace's old 2.4L, fuel consumption same as 2.7L Hiace, if driven carefully
No I won't buy Urvan again, Toyota yes even it is expensive

Thanks for that.

I would like a 2.7 hiace, but they are hard to find and a bit more expensive. I dont mind paying a little more if I get it in the trim I want. Ie 6 seats and not too many kms good condition. But ont want to spend 90,000aed

why dont you look at cheaper options like the Hyundai H1 or the Imax( for Aussies)! The Peugeot Partner, Renault Kangoo, etc. the latter two would be quite cheap. In the 20 - 30 K range for really good ones.
