Payed another visit to Mahan VW's lot today.
There are now four new Eurovans there.

'97 Eurobago  with fridge ($76) and "couch, removable" ($692)   $10,375
   (Gnote: no sticker for the vehicle itself - just for the conversion)

'99 Eurovan MV (Gnote: this is the one I reported on last week)
                                                power sunroof    $1,000

                                        Silver Grey Metallic       $275
                                           destination charge      $565
                                                        Total   $33,240
        Basically the same as our '93 MV, with the rear-facing
          middle seats (dual armrests on these)
        But I noticed some differences this time -
          there are two storage compartments with doors under
            the rear seat, one with a lock;
          a center console under the dash, with "drinkies" molded in;
          All '99s come with dual airbags and no glovebox.

'99 Eurovan GLS  Island Blue Metallic                    base   $29,900
                                                        paint      $275
                                           destination charge      $565
                                                        Total   $30,740
        Automatic; forward-facing middle seats (with
        drinkie molded in to the base of the right-side seat;
        rear seat is three buckets, not a "bench", with the
        seat-belt receivers built in to the base, not on
        straps; gray, striped, velour interior.

'99 Eurovan GLS  Black Magic Metallic                   same as above.
