I have wanted one of these van's for years and looked around for 2 months to
get one in good condition in my price range (87westy) I would love to take
this thing across country but now after reading this list I am unsure if it
will make it without me crossing my fingers the whole time. Am I hearing the
worst of the worst? I am reading a lot of problems with these van's now and
I am nervous I don't know if I can take this thing out of the city or trust
it on a long trip. Engines blowing, CV Joints, Bearings, Hoses Popping etc.
Can people please provide me some positive stories of trouble free ownership
and trips with regular maintenance? Am I hearing all the bad news only?
Thank you your comments are welcome.
