what about a '97 up Eurovan w/ the vr6?   I've seen plenty of them
equipped w/ wheelchair lifts.

I've already got the wheel chair lift, a very nice Braun unit that is
relatively easy to install and has the sliding door automatic opener.
I've sold my 83 Westy.
I've sold my 66 Splittie.
I'm selling off all my Paranoid Maintenance Parts.
I'll be able to clean my driveway of a 86 Olds Wagon, 92 Crown Vic, 93
Ford Explorer if I get a good dependable van. (Savings in insurance
premiums alone of about $1200.00 a year)
You all know what a cynic I am ................. I'd never own a VW Van /
Eurovan and not have a spare or backup vehicle.
I attest to the dependability of my 83 Westy and the so far dependability
of the 66 Splittie Westy but it took literally thousands to bring them to
that point.
I'm well aware that every vehicle, even new are Buyer Beware and I just
hope I don't have to deal with major bucks on maintenance.
I only have abilities on Air Cooled for engine maintenance and the
EuroVan List has as many war stories on it as the Vanagon list.
I'm going to build myself a house on my farm and I'm going to need Horse
Power to pull trailers and haul materials, a nice flat hauling deck would
also be an asset.
I've bid on a 82 Airstream so I don't have to rough it too much while
under construction.
I'm not swearing of VWs, Air Cooled or Westy in general
.................. I just need a break. I'll be able to hide about 200 in
the wooded area of my farm property so I'm sure I'll have some more.
