February 2010 - VAN MONSTER PUTS BUSINESSES ON THE ROAD TO MODERNISING THEIR VEHICLES WITH 0% FINANCE DEAL
Van Monster, one of the UK’s biggest suppliers of used commercial vehicles, is helping business users modernise their fleet with the launch of a highly competitive finance offer.
Until the end of April 2010, Van Monster, a wholly owned subsidiary of Northgate Vehicle Hire, Britain’s largest vehicle rental company, has a 0% APR finance offer available on hundreds of its used vans.
With the UK emerging from recession and van prices, according to market watchers and residual value experts, on the increase, now provides a major opportunity for organisations to invest in their vehicles.
The range of vehicles on offer at Van Monster sites extends from car-derived vans to panel vans such as Sprinters, Transits and Vitos, chassis cabs and tippers from a range of leading manufacturers including Ford, Mercedes-Benz and Vauxhall at a wide range of prices to suit every budget.
With hundreds of vehicles in stock at any one time, many of which are less than three years old, Van Monster’s high quality vehicles have covered 10,000 to 80,000 miles and have an extensive service history.
Northgate Vehicle Hire operates a UK-wide fleet of more than 60,000 vehicles from around 75 locations and Van Monster centres are located in Birmingham, Bridlington, Colchester, Leicester, Newmains, Wakefield and Warrington.
Van Monster’s aim is to give business and individual customers the best vans, at the best price and in the best condition.
Projecting a smart image is crucial to business success and Gary Sullivan, Managing Director of Northgate Vehicle Sales (Van Monster), believes many smaller businesses will now be looking to buy high quality value-for-money used vehicles instead of a new vehicle having extended replacement cycles through the recession.
He said: “This new finance offer is aimed at helping customers buy a quality used van and clearly at a price that will deliver significant savings over a new vehicle. With residual values continuing to increase we are encouraging our customers to buy now.
“We believe we are the only company in the market to offer such a wide range of modern fuel-efficient vehicles complete with a full service history. We have over 500 vehicles on our website and another 500 ready to prepare.
“By combining our range of stock, our quality of vehicle and maintenance record with this fantastic 0% finance offer, customers are able to derive benefit now which makes the decision to buy a less risky option.”

The offer is based on a 20% deposit and 18 month payment plan. 0% finance is subject to status, written quotations are available on request. The offer is not available in conjunction with any other offer. Other terms and conditions may apply.
