The main thing about the old van is simple, worn out.
250 000 km with a 1000CC motor is a good show
I cant keep up with the rust anymore.
The shockdampers tell me they are almost finished.
The clutch as well.
The headlight wiring is next gone.
The insulation of the wires in the motor compartiment suffers from dampness, and making starting difficult when wet.
Fuel economy isnt great- 10L is very normal, driving very carefully. Small tank isnt helping either.
And an oil change every 5000 km, and every 10 000km a maintenance.

And as Babs say, getting a ‚1000 for a car I payed ‚700 isnt bad.
