Hi All,

I hear people say the vast quantity of Vanagons and
older vans built will insure parts availability and
cheapness for many decades.  Since they no longer make
the vanagons in Mexico is that situation likely to
change?  If not I'd say the vanagons will always be
cheaper tp repair than the Eurovans, and probably
easier to work on given the ground clearance.  If they
see you coming in a vanagon, they know you don't have
extra money to burn.  Just my opinion.

Rob
