Right I’m back again for help guys.
Spent the weekend viewing some boxes.....and I’m already confused, brain addled and fed up and considering hitting the gin!
Anyway current question is, what is ‘better’? Or perhaps which would you pick?
Choice 1 - Man lorry, 2004 with 500,000km on it, but full service history, air suspension. Lovely living, tack lockers not in the horse area. Immaculate everywhere.
Choice 2 - Iveco lorry, 2000, with 250km on it, part service history, living fine but dated, gears were a bit stiff, tack lockers in the horse area, needs a few bits doing, nothing we aren’t incapable of doing, but I do have a lot of other building projects on, so who knows when it would get done.
Choice 3 - Iveco lorry, 2002, (converted 2006), by the same people as choice 2, 160,000km, part service history, living looks better than choice 2, but still a bit dated. Set up the same.
Obviously the prices for all three are quite different, I Guess what I’m asking is is a higher mileage but on better engine and with air suspension worth the bit extra?
We are likely use it as a bit of a ‘motor home’ for country shows/game fairs even when don’t have the horses with us.
Thanks in advance!
Ive always been a fan of MAN’s over Iveco’s. I’d also rather not have tack lockers in the horse area in case a horse decides to climb them!
What are the payloads of the lorries as this is so important?
