So i purchased a 97 VW Transporter Diesel with the intention of driving it across the country but it broke down on the way back home beyond repair. I managed to sell it for parts but all in all I've lost about $2200.
Now I'm way short on cash and need to get another van (I've now flown "home").
What are peoples opinion on cheap (sub $1500) cargo or passenger vans? The ones i've found at usually early 90's with around 250,000km on them or early 00' contractor vans with 350,000km.
Currently considering this one: http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/...le/1001603940?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true
I won't be driving very much (maybe 5,000km a year) as I'm going back to school, living in the van.
I obviously don't want to buy something that's going to break down on me again. It seems I can get a minivan in reasonable condition for my price range, but i'm worried I'll go crazy wintering in it!
