Paying vat for private purchase

[Cryne2]

Have many on here bought Kombi vans for private purchase.
Don't mind paying the vat but wondered what will happen with resale value down the line.
Is it just all relative and still depreciate the same or will they loose extra being non vat when I sell.
If that makes sense

Won't make any difference when you come to sell. If anyone tells you anything different at sale time, they are trying it on.

You pay VAT on cars too you know.

You'd likely be limiting your purchaser to a non-registered business or individual. As you suggest, your van would appear considerably more expensive to a vat registered purchaser

Understand the above
I am a limited vat registered company but with the latest BIK issues I've decided I'll just stand the vat and have it private.

I brought one. Paid off the VAT upfront I don't intend selling mine though!

Why would you do that?
It’s a commercial vehicle so no BIK issues
