     I'm thinking of purchasing a 1999 EuroVan during the month of March,
1999.  I would like to know what people's experience has been with the
VR-6 EuroVan.

     Specifically: Would you recommend it to a friend? What has your
experience been on interstate travel (mileage, handling, etc.)?  I have a
30-mile commute (each way) on a daily basis over country roads - does
anyone have experience that would relate to this?

     The specific model I am interested in is a GLS with the heated seats
option - want gray interior, and not too partiular about exterior color,
but would prefer blue. What kind of price did the dealer give you and how
close to invoice price did you pay? Any service record yet, to speak of?

     I live in Central New York and would purchase the vehicle in Central
New York or Northeast Pennsylvania - any recommendations on dealers?  (I
would travel further for the right deal!  New Jersey, Southeastern
Pennsylvania, Vermont, Western Massachusets, etc.)

     Our family consists of 2 adults and one 4 year-old and we travel the
Northeast, the Mid-Atlantic, and into the Midwest.  We often have another
adult travel with us, as well.
