Isuzu or Cabstar????

[Treeman123]

Alright guys,

 

Going to buy a brand new truck. Stuck between a isuzu N35 120bhp or a nissian cabstar 136bhp

 

There is a fair few grands difference between them. I have a isuzu nkr now, great truck. But the nissian is so much cheaper and look similar. Does anyone have any experience with the 2014 cabstars? build quality etc?

 

Any help would be great, save me spending days on the internet deciding!!

 

Thanks

Joe

How much is the cabstar?

 

I have got a quote from Isuzu today of £17.680 + vat for the 120

 

£18.825 + vat for the 150

[Treeman123]

£17995+VAT for the 120

£20500+VAT for the 150

 

But they were quoted with steel deck

I lie

 

The £20500+ was for the small wheel base tipper and the long wheel base was the £17950+

 

I live on the isle of man so cost to get on island etc

Ive got quotes for 2 dealers and they are both pretty much the same, but thats with no tipping body at all! how can it cost the same as 1 with a fully built tipping body!

 

How much is the Nissan?

Get the cabstar. I ve got one it's fantastic had 2 transits before and definitely would not get another

[Treeman123]

just waiting on the price for the cabstar. but think its about £15+

 

bloody Isle of Man is just a rip off! might come to uk and bring one back if its going to be a couple grand less.

 

The cabstars just dont look as well built. Might be wrong tho!

Oooo new van. Get a cabstar, they are a bit more flimsy but maintain them as well as I know you will joe and it will last ages besides they look better 😉

Anyway why waste money on new when you can pick up decent nearly new with low miles for a lot less?

New is the way, dont want anyone else 2nd hand used trucks now! all ways something wrong with them!
