I was lucky (I got good job), I never purchase a vehicle using a loan from
a financial institution bank or credit union so I can't give you any advice
but as already mentioned the fact that a vanagon requires
update/upgrade/repair to consider after purchase then the question is: how
a buyer will be able to follow up if there's no fund left? - borrowing more
or park the van and wait for more funds?. I'd think save now, wait and buy
later make more sense.
good luck.
