Hello, With high and even higher anticipated gas prices, I am considering getting a diesel vanagon. The loss of going to a sluggish 1.6L diesel motor compared to my peppy 2.1L gas motor doesn't bother me....... that much. But I do have several concerns: 1. The availability of diesel vanagons - There aren't many of them around and the ones that are around are Westy's. I love Westy's but as a daily driver, over the long-run, I find them tiresome. The seven seater version seems to be very rare. 2. The availability of parts - Since there aren't many diesel vanagon's I am led to believe that parts are scarce; thus very expensive. Any comments supporting or refuting my concerns are appreciated? Anyone in the Vancouver BC area know of any for sale? Thanks, Phil. _________________________________________________________________ Discover new ways to stay in touch with Windows Live!
