Thread: How you feel about Volkswagen Multi VAN for mission and living

I have driven 2 VW transporters with 4motion for a combined range of around 550,000kms

From new they are fantastic, the 4motion is incredible in icy or snowy conditions and gravel roads.

I was averaging over 1200km a week for a long time and when they have been driving hot you have no problems at all. As soon as you start to retire them and not driving them as often you will start having old age problems with them.

I would buy a near new one but would be very wary of one that's done 250,000+ kms

Thank you Bill, that also is my concerns for European cars, they loose value quickly and the ongoing ownership costs will become bigger and bigger. But, this multivan is quite fit for me, 4wd is a must. It has good space and can carry all my belongings to relocate anywhere, and the back seats is adjustable, removable and comfortable for guests if I continue my adventure tourism biz. So, that `s the reason I ask if anybody has experience with this multivan.
Still like steamed meat buns?

Like anything, look after it and service them and you will have no problems.
