About 1997 the local VW lot had a '93 or '94 Eurovan hightop camper conversion on their lot that I looked at very closely, a Canadian conversion, name I can't remember, but quite nice. I was seriously considering making them an offer until I talked to one of their service writers, a fellow amateur astronomer. He said he new very little about that specific van, but that they had recently had a Eurovan of the same year in with a bad auto transmission. It had taken the daeler four months to get the needed parts and had cost the owner nearly $6000 to get back on the road. As I said, this was about 1997 and things could be very different now. I passed on the vehicle. BTW, a month or so later I was talking to the local mechanic that did a lot of work on the three vehicles. Owned at that time. He had done the Buyers Inspection for the people that did buy the van and had given it a clean bill of health. |
