This letter is slightly off topic, so, I apologize in advance.  It looks like about the only way I will ever get my much dreamed about vanagon is to be able to make payments on it.  So, to my question.  Is there any place that will finance a smaller, older purchase like this.  Most banks seem to have a $7500 minimum on car loans.  I hope you dont think this is a stupid question, and I hope no one will reply with don't waste your money or anything similar.  TIA  Dave.
