Thanks how much more would I have to save, is it more than two 500 pound vans? Why not buy 2 cheap ones  a new one IF it goes wrong?

You might find a £1000 van was once two £500 vans that have been welded together.

But, seriously, what is it that you're asking? No-one here can tell you how much to spend on a van when they have no idea what you need it for or what sort of van you're looking for. Seats, engine size, features etc etc.

Presume you are talking about second hand vans.

It's the annual mileage that you will be doing that affects the insurance cost.  

Have a look at OP's previous posts.
It seems that they are looking for a van to live in.

This one is a good start.

So I want to know if insurance is significantly more because the van has so much mileage 300,000 or is it more or less the same as a van with much less mileage say 150,000?

Cheers

In your case, going by your other threads on this subject. The fact you are planning on living in the van & where it is kept is going to be the biggest effect on cost.

Read all  the other threads first because the OP is starting a new one each time there is a question. So lots of the same information is being repeated.
Also still waiting for the OP to confirm if they’ve been to the local authority around housing options rather than having to live in a van.

Do either (or both) of the £500 and £700 vans have a valid, recent MoT certificate?

Are they advertised on the internet and are you able to provide links to the adverts? We might be able to provide specific opinions on the vehicles?

I note from your other thread that you've not driven a vehicle in over a decade, and this will only be your second vehicle ever; how confdent are you that you'd recognise a major fault when you view a van?

 how much better would a 700 pound people carrier or estate car be than a van of equal cost?

Going off how vans are treated, a 3 thousand pound van would probably be dodgy.
Slightly better chance with the others

Not very much at that price, you won't get much of a car or van for £700, but the van will likely have twice the miles and 4 times the rust & dents.

Now a £3000 estate/people carrier would be orders of magnitude better than a £3000 van.

To be honest, in the world of vans/motorhomes, anything under £50,000 is a compromise in some way or another. Be it, lack of living space, lack of hot water/space heating/decent lighting, decent insulation, etc etc. Living in a van is going to be more complicated/involved and more expensive than living in a house. I don't 100% know the question but suspect that living in a van ISN'T the answer.

How many times do you ask the same question? The answer is just the same.
