Hi, I am looking for reliable transportation around town and for long trip during the summer -- I am a student -- and have been offered a 1985 vw vanagon which apparently needs a new engine, for $1,000. What are these vans like? Are they reliable, economical, good on long trips, where can I get a new engine, how much does one cost and who in Berkeley, CA would be good person to get to inspect/install new engine?
That's a lot to ask, but any info would be much appreciated. Thanks Geoff
