Purchasing a new van

[Swamp30]

Anyone have any dealers they reconmend in ohio to buy from? I checked on ryder and they dont have much locally..thinking of buying my own van or sprinter(if i find the right one)..or if you know of an owner selling one worth looking at..dont say the classifieds..

Good Luck. .& Research & more research. ... . I 've done it plenty over the last 2 years ....bought 1 ton extended chevy 21 months ago and just resently bought 1 ton 12 ft. SRW cube van. .....auto trader, ebay, truckpaper, but best LUCK on Craigslist. ..... most average sised dealers will keep a couple cargo vans on hand ....but towards end of month they need to move vehicles and alot of dealers are now using Craigslist for ads.....1 thing to remember. ....Most banks won t give out Loans on Commercial Vehicles so plan ahead......I paid cash on last 2 vans and I m not Rich.....I m an expediter........

The Man you need to talk to about the Fords is Bill McCarthy of Jorgensen Ford.
Besides being based in Detroit and right down the street from Ford, Jorgensen has the contacts, the experience and the right people to get those vehicles financed for you.
Bill's # is 313-584-2250

I agree wait on the Ford if you can.

If you already have a van, and are just upgrading, I think I'd wait and see what the expedite industry is going to do first. It seems so un-stable now.

Got mine by looking on e-bay and found a dealer in northern OH that buys former Netflix vans from OK and TX, all expertly maintained by Penske Leasing. He had a passel of them, both gas and diesel, but haven't seen him selling any of late. I couldn't be happier with mine, a GMC diesel long wb. Had to add a spare rim and tire, but everything else was golden.

Point is, poke around, look online and off (e-bay, Auto-Trader, etc, even craigslist, etc) and the right one for you will pop up.
