  Dont get a van, get the car/van hybrid... cheap, reliable and also runs on diesel... Somemore you can turn it into a car if you want by installing seats behind but its illegal la...

  van speed limit is 60kmph. IMO that is super slow. might as well take a bus to where you're going. other than that, parking can be a problem cos van need 2m height clearance. u try to go into multi storey carpark that says 1.8m clearance then your roof will be gone.

  Company thing is..U need to hv a company to buy the van.it has to be registered under a company.
  
  U can use friend/uncle/whoever company as long as they are ok wid it.Of cos u hv to pay lah...
  
  The seller look at the bank statment...best will be a live account..meaning, got money in & money out,wid got balance inside the account through the mounth.This is for loan ....
  
  If cannot get a pte ltd, can also register under sole propiator(dunno spelling..haha) some of them may dun hv a company account. then there is when income tax or personnel bank account come in.
  For income tax is to show them the director got minimum income everymonth,or wat he earn MUST be more then the monthly instlament of the van u getting.
  
  The personel bank account can be use to show them the director very rich, of get a garentor that hv a powerful bank statment also..
  
  Its al for the purpose for approval the loan of the van.
  
  @nd hand van not say no good, but jus lik cars, u dunno wat happen b4, how the driver drive, got very jia lat accident b4 or not...
  
  alternative u can go www.eurovanclub.com to see see look look & ask qustion.
