Just had a gander at Scotcabs version of cab directs E7 and at nearly £6000 cheaper,think they are on a winner! Same vehicle,just different conversion inside! Maybe the E7 is slightly better finished but i would think the savings justify the choice! So for a LWB its £20,000 OTR! well woth a think!! Anyone have different views? |

I've heard the workmanship isn't all that, but if you have looked at one and are happy, then go for it. Have you got a price for the new TW200? |

Have looked at e7 myself but still thought they were pricey gor what ya getting considering the vehicle before any conversion is worth £14-£15k and at £27999 for the decent spec version there ain't much difference to getting a tx4. did feel down south could have been £20k though. Pro's *More economical, extra luggage and passenger space, cheaper. great for motorway runs. Airbags and all the things you'd expect for a modern vehicle! con's *(safety)If ya look at the protection screen a customer could get their arm through to the driver through the pay slot(try it yourself), resale value, and not sure how this vehicle will be after 100,000 miles, but tx4 having probs up to 100,000 miles!!, not as meonouverable round town(famous tx4 turning circle) |

Have you got a price for the new TW200? same spec but £25,500 (better quality inside) but for 5 grand less i can cope with that! Resale values are crap (just run it into the ground) |

Scotcab now done 12,000 miles and all going well! Great for airport runs with massive luggage space! Serviced at 10,000 even though service interval is 20,000 (which is too much i think) Going to be keeping this cab for 3 years at least! How do i get pics uploaded?

Am I seeing things? As it looks like the back seats have covers on the back but not on the front.

As it looks like the back seats have covers on the back but not on the front. If you mean drivers area then no ,just normal coverings but you could get same as back for additional cost! Had a spewer sat night (2cnd one) and so easy to get clean. (still not nice to clean up though) Took less than 5 mins to get clean and on the go again and £50 for the punter being sick! |
