Commercial Vans Built for Utah Crews and Small Fleets

At Peterson Auto Sales — family-owned since 1965 and a two-time Utah Quality Dealer of the Year (1989 and 2023) — we stock used commercial vans that are built to put crews and cargo on the job from day one. For a tradesperson or small fleet, a dependable used commercial van isn't a luxury, it's a necessity — and finding the right one at an honest price is where most buyers get stuck. We consistently have an inventory of Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Chevrolet Express, and GMC Savana cargo and passenger vans. Every car has a free CARFAX, a flat $289 documentation fee, and no commission salespeople.

Our commercial Auto Loan program and 40+ lender network — including commercial and EIN-only options — make the financing side of the purchase as straightforward as possible. Here in Midvale, south of the corporate State Street dealership row, the conversation stays focused on getting you the right van for the job.

What "Commercial Van" Means at Peterson Auto

The commercial inventory at Peterson Auto rotates through three configurations: cargo vans, high-roof extended vans, and full-size passenger vans built for business use. Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Chevrolet Express, and GMC Savana come through our dealership — purpose-built haulers with payload ratings, partition options, and the cubic footage that matters when you're loading out for a job site. The Ford Transit ranks among the longest-lasting full-size vans in the iSeeCars longest-lasting vehicles study .

Our inventory changes, so specific trim levels and configurations change week to week — but the underlying criteria doesn't. If it's on the lot, it passed the same inspection standard applied to every vehicle we sell. And our wholesale dealer network can typically find specific vans when needed.

Financing Built for Tradespeople and Small Fleets

Buying a work van is a business decision, and we treat it that way. With 40+ lender relationships — including subprime specialists and commercial programs — there's real flexibility here for sole proprietors, LLC owners, and small fleets alike. Same-day commercial loan approvals are available, with financing structured on the business side when that's the smarter move for your taxes and cash flow. For sole proprietors, single-member LLCs, which include EIN-only financing paths and hybrid personal-plus-business structures — useful when W-2 income looks light on paper, but the business cash flow is real.

The flat $289 doc fee is well below the $400–$799+ that other dealers charge. No hidden fees, no junk add-ons. Trade-ins are welcome, and we handle lender payoffs same-day. According to Cox Automotive Insights , 23% of used-vehicle financing is tied to self-employed/1099 borrowers.

Sourcing a Specific Van

Not seeing the right van on the lot? We can usually source a specific van — high-roof Transit 250, extended ProMaster 2500, ladder-rack-prepped Express — within days through our network. No cost to look, no obligation to buy. Used full-size cargo vans average roughly $38,000 in recent Kelley Blue Book ATP data — wholesale-sourced units typically come in below that.

Tell our team what the job requires, and they'll start looking. The van that fits your workflow is worth waiting a week for — buying the wrong one can cost much more.

Why Salt Lake Contractors Buy South of the Row

State Street south of I-215 is a different world from the corporate dealership row that crowds downtown. There's no floor manager hovering, no commissioned salesperson running numbers on a whiteboard, and no mystery fees folded into the back end of the contract. At Peterson Auto, we operate on a flat $289 doc fee, and a simple rule: the number quoted is the number you pay.

For a contractor pricing out a work van, that transparency is worth the drive to Midvale. Non-commissioned salespeople mean the conversation stays focused on whether the van fits the job — not on hitting a monthly quota. If the right vehicle isn't on the lot, we'll let you know and help find one. That's a rare thing in this business. Utah's construction sector employs roughly 110,000 workers as of 2023, according to the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute — and our commercial customer base reflects that growth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you sell cargo vans and passenger vans?

Both. Our inventory changes, but we typically carry a mix of cargo and passenger vans.

Can I finance a commercial van under my business EIN?

Yes. Our Commercial Auto Loan program supports EIN-only financing and hybrid personal-plus-business structures for sole proprietors, single-member LLCs, and established small businesses. Same-day commercial loan approvals are available, and the 40+ lender network includes specialists for newer LLCs whose business credit history is still building.

Do you charge fees?

A flat $289 documentation fee is the only fee we have. This is much lower than the $400–$799+ that other dealerships charge for the same thing.

What if I don't see the right van?

If we don't have the van you're looking for, let us know. We can usually find it through our network.

What's the typical down payment on a commercial van for a small business?

It varies by lender and credit profile, but commercial buyers with established business history and reasonable credit often qualify with a smaller down payment than a personal auto loan would require. Newer LLCs or 1099 sole proprietors typically see higher down payment requirements. Our finance team can walk through likely structures before you visit.

Do you sell to small fleets buying multiple vans?

Yes. We regularly work with trades and service businesses purchasing their second, third, or even fifth van. The Commercial Auto Loan program supports multi-unit purchases, and the wholesale dealer network helps when you need consistent configurations across the fleet — same wheelbase, same roof height, same partition setup — that the lot doesn't have in stock.
