Though it is not my business, I guess you asked a question, so I'll
respond.  If you can't pay for the van without borrowing, then you don't
have the resources to own and operate a vehicle like this.  These vehicles
simply require, on an ongoing basis, what realtors call tlc, meaning
substantial monetary input. You have to be prepared for that to keep one
operating.  mcneely
