If you're looking for a van to use privately with your budget, then we'd consider a late 2000s Volkswagen Transporter. They hold their value better than models such as the Ford Transit and Vauxhall Vivaro, and are more upmarket and comfortable to drive, with a decent reliability record. If you're not too fussed about image, another great van for private use would be a Toyota HiAce of a similar vintage, again because they are exceptionally reliable and good to drive.
