Makes it a bit tougher, I'm looking for a diesel or a syncro (letting karma decide basically), but am weighing the option of getting a 'boxer with a broken motor (a common commodity) and putting the motor I prefer into it.

My old van's a bit thrashed in terms of bodywork or I'd just redo the motor in
it again.  Diesels may be expensive in the short term, but in the longterm I think they're a better bet.

Tromper
82 Dieselfant II - Thrashed, but it passed (emmissions, and a few 'boxers)
