Cheap and reliable vans?
Hello everyone, thank you in advance for your help.
I want to buy a panel van sometime this year and would like to convert it into a camper van. Which panel vans are cheap and reliable? Unfortunately, I'm not that good with engines, but I could manage the rest (I'll leave it in my garage for a long time). I'd like to buy a cheaper van, €5,000-8,000, and then put more money into the conversion, as I'm not very well off financially. (I'm Swabian and want to save :)) The only thing that's important to me is that it's reliable and has all-wheel drive (preferably, or I can retrofit it as long as it doesn't cost a fortune). I've read a lot about Ford Transits, and that they're very reliable; you just have to watch out for rust.
I thank you
In the price segment, you only get soul sellers who have run either godless KM or have maintenance store to the most recent court and a maintenance state that calls for the scrap press. You won’t be happy as a swamp, I can promise you now.
Often such cars are only good for export or just as a transition until a new box car is to be bought or delivered.
Here’s my tip, look, that you’ll be around again. Save 10k€, then you really have something you can drive very well for the next few years.
At the price range you have to expect repairs very quickly. If you’re worth the “saving” next year is a lot to pay for repair – go for it. My cousin did the same. Second year of repairs almost the purchase price again. Among others: brakes, clutch, dome bearing, complete engine, exhaust,…
Yes I can understand, but you can check this, miles are really no matter how long a checkbook is here and the engine is sturdy, I don’t know myself with these motors
You want to check the engine. He just went out with my cousin and there was nothing left. Look, you wouldn’t have done anything. Because that’s not predictable. If they hadn’t had a hit with a trailer, the towing would have cost again, as the ADAC only brings to the next workshop. So you want to cut off tires, expand the crossbars to see if the dome camp is okay??
Then keep buying for the price, but don’t mess around when in two to five years the car is scrap or n cost-eaters of special equals. Then remember that you have to invest in about the purchase price once a year.
Why so toxic when I answer normally?
You can forget about all-wheel car with your budget.
Would I go on with $10,000?
If you can dispense with Allrad or if a VW T5 is enough for you, that’s enough.
What would they say to this:

I can’t look at this without the app, I’m sorry.
Really? Once had a box car that was 7 years old when I had written a smart lawyer that would be worth 0 €.
Soilless, you could have given it to me too haha fun, it was an accident car or what was the reason
According to Autohaus, the value was €10000, but lawyers are often also legal defenders.
yes you’re right, I really thank you
The first is a high-speed construction site vehicle that has its life behind it. You have to consider why the previous owner has delivered this vehicle. A construction company does not sell a well-running vehicle, which are dried down until they become uneconomical.
I’d rather look at the second one.
https://home.mobile.de/NAUMANNAUTOMOBILEUG#des_396108993 think that is better but also more expensive but I think that should be feasible
Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 680/2013 of 13 December 2013 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the harmonisation of the laws of the Member States relating to cosmetic products and foodstuffs (OJ L 347, 20.12.2013, p. 1).
think this one would still be to save, you can’t know that now, but alone from your experience and feel out what you say?
More like a T5 that t4 are more popular and more expensive. But I thought they were too small for you and you’d rather look towards transit, crafter, Sprinter.
And get one with Allrad, everything else really makes no sense.
Because I think even if I’m on the road without allrad, I need to think later I want to go to the Arab continental and also where there are no people. I hope you can understand
Well, that’s an argument, you think it would be to create a t4 to get the to grow and then eventually to pick up a battle ripe syncro (of course pay attention to which is driven and motor in) and then to transfer that? Wouldn’t have time stress. Of course this isn’t going with YouTube tutorials but have a good buddy who’s kfz, wanted to ask here before I’m annoyed with it
You’ll be fine even without Allrad, I guess. You don’t have to go to the deepest botany, you can’t camp anyway. The A and O. Lastly, with trailers on a damp meadow, the A and O is a good tire to arrange against a slight gradient and did not need to switch Allrad.
Thinking a prick would be a better option? I would get a living cabin as a room
Unfortunately would like to have allrad for all cases but thank you for your help
I know some people who have put themselves on the farm by the police or the Bundeswehr and were on the move in Europe after the reconstruction.
