Worthwhile to buy? Body is very good. 200,000 miles. Interior very good. 200 HP. 20 mpg on highway. If I buy it I will use it, probably do a lot of traveling. as Dealer wants $5K. Thanks. ---

I wouldn’t take a 17 year old VW of any model if it was given to me for free. VW’s are notorious for requiring lots of expensive maintenance and repairs once they’re out of warranty. ---

No such thing as a “good deal” on a VW van. ---

$5,000 for a 16 year old vehicle with more than 200,000 miles (and a vehicle which isn’t particularly rare or unique)…run. run away very quickly. ---

I would stay away from that one. A guy down the street owns one and confirms that it’s a maintenance & repair nightmare. Other friends who owned one in Europe while posted there confirm likewise! ---

According to [cars.com](http://cars.com), there are 18 Honda and Toyota minivans within 100 miles of me with less than 150k and less than $6,000. I’d look into them long before that VW. ---
