>It should only be a problem if you take your van to the dealer for tune-ups >(does anybody on this list still do that?).
Yes, I do that. I like to tinker with my '77 bus but need the '81 for my daily transport. That means when it's bust I need to get it fixed quickly. Also we have to have our cars inspected annually. Must be done by an approved workshop. It's free when carried out during regular maintainance.Otherwise you have to pay for the inspection, then when it is rejected you have to get it repaired and go back to have it re-inspected. My trick is to use the buses as 'company cars' (I am self-eployed). That makes all expenses, gas etc, tax deductable. All in all it's cheaper than having a regular, run of the mill, nowadays Ford, Toyota or what have you.
