Well for all the horror stories out there I would like to advise people
that good experiences have been had also.  I say this because personally I
spent 600$USD on my bus and  have put in less than 250$ in the past six
months - mostly on new tires which will last me for several years.  On top
of that we've used this as a daily driver since March and took a vacation
of over 3,500$ miles.

Total cost : 850$ w/ the van and it's still running & looking great.

:)
