Financing a New Van - Annually

It used to be that Sales Reps got a New Car as the registration changed every year...

So, is it possible as a Self-employed owner-driver to finance my first van new and then get a new replacement annually?.

Believing that there's a wealth of knowledge and experience amongst all you MSErs out there this is my first stop and, rather than go round the houses and back again, I'd really appreciate some unbiased links and/or advice.

Thanks For Your Time and Trouble in Advance,
The Chooch.

    I don't know too much about this subject, but have you looked into leasing?

    All the car companies are trying to get customers (car & van) into PCP deals.
    (personal contract plans) That way they know theres a good chance you'll be back for another in 1 - 2 - 3 years, or however long the plan is for.

    Not sure why you'd want to swap after only a year - unless you're doing verrrrrrry high miles, 'cos it will cost you dearly.

    Click on the makers www then join any 'business club' they have. it won't cost you, but will get you special offers & longer test drives & stuff.

    & don't be tempted to a 'nearly new' deal - sometimes these ARE NOT as good as they first seem.

    You might loose discounted finance deal from the makers/cashback/free or cheap insurance, that might come with a NEW vehicle!!
