LDV, which claims to offer some of the best value in the commercial vehicles market in Ireland, has announced further savings for people buying one of its vans this summer. The savings, which can exceed €3,000, kick in when you're buying a van on finance.
LDV sees growth in falling van market
LDV has seen its sales grow by 11 per cent so far this year, in a market for vans that has slipped back, overall, by some seven per cent. To celebrate, the brand is now offering its V80 range - which includes variants such as the Medium-Roof Panel Van, the LDV Tipper, LDV Dropside and LDV's Minibus, the MiniB - with big discounts if you're taking out a hire purchase agreement.
Right now, fleet buyers and van drivers can save €3,288 and drive away in a 191 LDV V80 Tipper for just €25,907. Monthly payments are set at €399.75, terms and conditions applying, of course.
5.0-litre diesel engine
The V80 Dropside has been reduced to €24,677, offering a saving of €3,173 and with monthly repayments of €367.77. Both the Dropside and the Tipper use a huge 5.0-litre, four-cylinder torque-monster diesel engine, which LDV says is: "Ideal for the booming construction trade."
For more everyday van requirements, there's the V80 Medium Roof, which is currently reduced to €20,893, with monthly payments set at €313.28 a month, including tax. The van offers 10.2-square metres of space in the back, with a 2.5-litre turbo diesel engine and 1,419kg payload.
Prices include VAT and VRT
Now, just to clarify, those prices include VAT in the monthly repayment figures, and those repayments are worked out based on a trade-in or deposit value that varies from €4,806 for the V80 Medium Roof, up to €9,657 for the 15-seater minibus version. The 'campaign' prices - the list prices - all include VAT and VRT, so your accountant can work out how that best works for you.
LDV, which began as a collaboration between between British Leyland and Netherlands-based DAF, is these days owned by Chinese car-making giant SAIC - the Shanghai Automotive Industrial Company - and they're distributed in Ireland by the Harris Group.
