  I don't think many people, owners that is, actually work on Eurovans.
They seem to be more on the 'disposable vehicle' side of the scale than
Vanagons.  All the people I've met who're driving Eurovans don't seem very
"involved" with the vehicle and many aren't especially pleased they chose
that rather than some other Minivan like a Honda Oddity or a Toyota Siesta
or a Dodge Carry-ban...
   I've seen fairly new ones listed for much lower than Vanagons and a
surprising number listed as 'broken' in some way.  They seem like nice
enough vans, but without as much space as a Vanagon and kinda "Plastic"
inside.  I'd take a toyota, myself, if I were looking for a Soccer Van.
