Converting a Dropside pickup to a Tipper

[arniecardigan]

My limited budget is due to business growing and needing 2 vehicles, I've funded a 4wd and big double axle trailer from company profits and now sold the T4 crewcab tipper for £1900 and need to go bigger crewcab tipper for similar money. I could wait and struggle on whilst saving a bit more as Christmas has wiped me out, however experience says to buy whilst the money is there as something could go wrong next week and eat my £1900 van budget!!!

What about putting your £1900 as a deposit on something then finance the rest? Get something that ticks all the boxes? Your monthly payments may seem nothing compared to the bother you might get from buying an older truck? Just a thought?

Yes thats the funniest thing I dont know what I'm doing I'd have to enlist the help of someone that does know what there doing and pay them for there time!! I'm not bad at helping though!!

As for finance I don't do finance I'd rather save and own it myself even if it is old!!

Conversion won't be worth the money. You should be able to get an LDV tipper for your budget.

Best way to go , UNLESS you have guaranteed contracts (council etc)

Put your 1900 down and finance a newish truck job done and get on with working, I dont buy this "no finance unless you have guaranteed contracts" nothing is guaranteed in life and business is about taking a risk now and again, its tax deducted and less hassle than an old banger.

 

So what you don't "own" it for 5 years it earns you money and when its knackered you get a new one.......thats business. .
