I have not checked the price of the new vans in Brazil, but 2 years
ago in the dealership they were 20,000 Reals ($7,000) at todays exchange
rate.  I believe they are still made.  The base model comes with an air
cooled engine and a diesel was also available, with an ugly-duct-taped-on-
looking radiator on the front. I can't remember what they charged for the
diesel option.
     Late model Mexican vans were also available with inline 4 VW motors
and diesels.  I don't get there much so I don't know what they cost.
     I get to travel to Brazil regularly, and am writing this reply in Sao
Paolo.
