anyone own mini ford transits?

[WillS]

Looking to get one of these Ford Transit. It would fit everything perfect and would wrap excellent. {no time but portable type equip). We have a Ford F150 already for rug pick ups and drop offs, the Colorado with camper is perfect for carpet, tile equipment. This could be a run around van or last minute carpet cleaning calls van. (does does carpet.upholstery.rugs).

This was is 10k with 78k miles. Is that a bad deal for these? I'm still in the part of researching, but thought I'd ask in this DAT I created.

Eventually I'd like to get rid of the Colorado and have 2 of these with the long bed pick up Ford for rug pickup/drop off

Maybe @anon or whoever can edit my title thread to be "mini instead of min"

I have the 2016 transit connect xlt but passenger model... The research I've done on them is that the earlier years have electrical problems... I found some locally that range in price $5.5 - 13k.... They don't seem to hold there value though, so buying used is best...

I'd do some reading on http://fordtransitconnectforum.com

I have a 2013 Nissan NV200 cargo that I use for my portable equipment and parking structures... I scored mine for $3,500... It was in a front end accident but fixed and drives decent... Not much for either van on aftermarket stuff... I'm still looking to air ride both vans....

I have one and really like it.

We own a Transit Connect still. Got it when they first came on the market.
It's been a trouble free truck. Perfect for an encap/porty business.

We once had three of them. After 4 years traded in two for full sized transits. I still have one, it only has 50,000 miles so we will keep it a few more year before trading up.

Great little vehicles. You'll love that it's enclosed vs the pickup.

Damn those all wrap nicely to! I do like them. I seen one the other day with a nice rack setup in the back for chemicals etc.

Drive them. As much as I like them, they are a van and not as comfortable and nimble as a pickup.

All in all they still have more advantages over the pickup.

What about Ram version?

Promaster City is a Fiat badged Dodge.. They supposedly had good reviews but I'd ask @Zee if any of his brothers or friends has them back home in the motherland...
