MAXUS > Transit.  Discuss.

Let me make it easy for you: quite simply, the MAXUS minibus is greater than the Ford Transit and if you are looking for safe and affordable transport to carry an army of passengers then look no further than the MAXUS minibus.

So why is the MAXUS > Transit?

VALUE

Apart from being over £1600 cheaper (MAXUS 17 Seat LWB XHR 120ps vs. Ford Transit 17 seat HR 115ps) the MAXUS Minibus comes with a five year, 100,000 mile warranty if you buy before 31st March 2008.  Coupled with a range of finance deals including £5 deposit or weekly payments as low as £72 + VAT per week the MAXUS minibus represents enormous value.  If you can't stretch to a new MAXUS Minibus then why not consider our secondary lease programme?  You can lease a minibus for a fixed period - as little as six months.  Best of all the secondary leases start from only £399 + VAT per month.

CONTROL

The MAXUS Minibus 17 seat is almost one metre shorter than the Transit 17 seat with less front and rear overhang.  It means the MAXUS is more agile and manoeuvrable and parking is a very simple process.

VERSATILITY

With two side doors as standard, MAXUS ensures safe towing. Even when your rear doors are obstructed by a trailer, double side doors on the MAXUS minibus mean an easy exit for all passengers.

PAYLOAD

With the MAXUS 17 seat minibus weighing in at only 3.9t and the 17 seat Transit at 4.1t, you would expect the Transit to have a greater payload allowance.  This is not the case as the MAXUS minibus offers more weight allowance for your passengers and their luggage.

The MAXUS minibus - with a choice of 10, 12, 15 or 17 seats as well as two engine variants, and not forgetting the range of servicing, repair and maintenance packages, it really is > the competition.

But one factor where the MAXUS isn't greater than the competition is delivery times.  You can get a brand new MAXUS minibus in less than 6 weeks. But if you go for the Transit, or even the VW Transporter, your waiting time will be a lot greater.  We know this because we ask them.
