Used Car of the Day: Live the Van Life With This 2002 Volkswagen Eurovan
For $7,000 and a little bit of work, you can live out your camping fantasies with this 2002 Volkswagen Eurovan.
Equipped with the 2.8-liter VR6 engine and an automatic transmission, this van has 260,000 miles on it. The seller says it runs well and the body is in good shape, but it needs transmission service and the heater isn't hooked up. Also, there is some minor rust and paint peel.
Features include leather seats, cruise control, a moonroof, a rear bench seat that folds into a bed, a fold-up table, overhead lighting, and a CD/MP3 player.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

- Kwik_Shift_Pro4X The main advice I've heard is to stay away from the BMW engine.
- Rna65689660 For Los Angeles, this is super cheap housing. For it surely will be not going anywhere very often. Park it at Wallyworld for 3 days, then move to the next lot.
- MaintenanceCosts This is half a car, because half the time it will be in the shop.

Very expressive B-pillar styling. 😉
These cars were painfully overpriced when new. And still are, it seems.
