Jere,
   DO a very detailed inspection of each vehicle.
Try all the windows, lights, etc.    Make a list of
anything  on each vehicle that is in  need of repair.
Take in consideration the milage of each.  Eventually
you will see witch vanagon is the one to keep.
                                             Eric
