Hi!

We are considering buying a 93 Eurovan. We really like it but it has 
190,000 miles. It seems to be in great shape. The dealer said it was 
owned by someone who knew how to maintain it, but drove a lot 
(obviously). The dealer has a good rep in town, so we have no reason 
to disbelieve him. He also said Eurovans are built to last a long
time 
so the age and mileage on it do not have the same significance as it 
would to another make. It's Jamaican Aqua, it's loaded~all options 
including AT, it is a GL model. However, we are not mechanically 
inclined and don't wish to purchase something that isn't reliable.
Can 
anyone give any comments or advice? 

Thanks,

Scott & Kat

If you are not mechanically inclined, this will be a very expensive vehicle to own. ?Many things are certainly going to break with those kind of miles. ?I'd look for something with lower miles, much lower. ?eBay, carpoint....... ?there are many ways to find used EVs. ?Find something else, in the neighborhood of 100K.

Kathie,

I agree.  these are high maintenance and high cost to maintain if you 
don't do the work yourself.

With that many miles, the EV would be in the shop and you be going to 
the bank fora loan to get it out.

Out of curiosity, how mauc was the dealer willing to sell it for???

The seller is asking $4,495. I thought it was a great price. I saw the EV's
at a car show years ago and loved it but had a hard time with the price =-)
This EV is in pretty good shape. Cosmetically, the interior needs a little
help. The seat could use a good steam cleaning and it was owned by a smoker,
but I thought I could get it to smell better eventually. It has front & rear
AC, all the room I need & more and is an AT which is why I need a new car
(hurt knee~no more 5 sp for me)

I've decided not to buy...just too risky for us. My husband does basic
things like oil changes and such, but dosen't like to tinker with cars as a
hobby. If anyone is interested in it, let me know!

Thanks everyone for the advice. It was a great help!
