I am looking to by a camper van and have found a good deal it
seems, but it is a diesel.
I had not considered a diesel before and just want to hear some pros and cons.

I have not managed to get the guy on the phone and I don't know the crucial
details like year and size of the engine.
What I know is:
pop up roof and standerd westfalia interior. incuding heating.
diesel engiene wich had a complete rebuild of engine and grear box 5000
mile ago and 1 year factory gurantee left on it. Including new started,
clutch and injection mech.
It is being sold for some familiy reason and is ging for $3500

I figure a diesel will use less fuel but how much slower and louder is it?

Any comments?

Please also email me directly since I only get the digest at the moment.

Thanks,
