I've only just started out so not relevant to me, I currently have my trusty Fiat Doblo.  BUT, my best ever van was an Escort van, bought for £1000 and I thought it would last 6 months before it started to cost me.......it lasted years and never missed a beat, I sold it for more than I paid for it too  ;D

A Datsun Cherry hatchback.  At 988cc, it was a bit embarassing going uphill when the cyclists started overtaking.
Although I had owned it for four years, the engine was on the way out when I started W/Cing with it.  It got me through the first 8 or 9 months though till I got a loan for a three year old Nissan Sunny van.  Such vehicles were OK for cleaning the trad way.  No good really for WFP though due to low payload.

My best experiences with vehicles have all been Japanese.  I will take that route again nect time I make a change.

VW sharan people carrier. Only been going 4 months wfp and it was the motor I already had. Lucky I had that really as I nearly got a focus estate that would only have carried a small amount of water.
Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go
