In normal time I suppose I would suggest, if you are buying brand new, is to order now fo delivery in the Spring. But it seems we are not living in ordinary times so I expect there won't be the same pressure on delivery. I would chat to a dealer as see what delivery times are like. It also depends when you want to take delivery of your new van.

i was told yesterday that the best time to buy if you want money off a van is now but if you want better choice of van secondhand is febuary time when everyone is getting their brand new one

We bought our first van in late November. We sold it 2 years later for the same price we bought it for. It was sold again 2 years later for the same price we bought and sold it for.

Our next van was bought in late October 4 years ago. Its still selling for  more now than the price we bought it for so I would reckon round about now is a good time to buy. As for selling, definately June, July or August

I sold our last Van two weeks before Easter 08, First person who came to see it paid full asking price & also bought a few extras from me too. Goes without saying "Selling! begining of the season" & "Buying! Winter".

Good Luck
