Hi. Im currently in the process of buying a new van for my business. Ive found two vans that are good however what are the things that I must look out for/check so that I dont get short for my money?
I know that I should really be doing this, but I am not that rich(!!!) so preferably "cheap" things that I can do. Thanks!

Ford transit is all i have to say.
Easy to work on and cheap to fix.

First of all, if you can buy a brand new van then do it, dont get second hand - its just not worth it. Ive just bought a used van and it was great for 2 months, until the engine went on it! I ended up spending another £2000 getting it fixed!
I dont think you can go too wrong with a NEW Renault Kangoo, the basic ones are good value and they are one of the most reliable. (I wish I knew this before I bought mine)
Make sure you get a decent warranty if its from a dealer.
Good luck.

Here's a quick checklist
Make sure the indicators don't work
Make sure you can see behind you in the mirrors so that you can see the look of frustration on the drivers behind
Make sure it's white, so your mates can write 'clean me' when it gets dirty
Make sure it has a wide dashboard to display your copies of the sport on it
Ensure it comes with the standard white van engine - one that makes it go the speed of light and have the ability to tailgate other motorway users

reliability should come first. Toyota and Honda make the longest lasting trouble free vans for the last 10 years. Get consumer reports this months issue is the annual auto issue
