Hello,
 
With high and even higher anticipated gas prices, I am considering getting a diesel vanagon. The loss of going to a sluggish 1.6L diesel motor compared to my peppy 2.1L gas motor doesn't bother me....... that much. But I do have several concerns:
 
1. The availability of diesel vanagons - There aren't many of them around and the ones that are around are Westy's. I love Westy's but as a daily driver, over the long-run, I find them tiresome. The seven seater version seems to be very rare.
 
2. The availability of parts - Since there aren't many diesel vanagon's I am led to believe that parts are scarce; thus very expensive. 
 
Any comments supporting or refuting my concerns are appreciated?
 
 
Anyone in the Vancouver BC area know of any for sale?
 
Thanks, Phil.
