[MBZ] CarFax Request and VW EuroVan Opinion
Since it does not look like MB will ever bring their Vaneo to the U.S. market(truthfully I won't be able to afford a new one even if they do), I will be going to look at this '02 EuroVan after work today. The VIN is WV2KB47002H065551. If anyone got a CarFax account and can pull the records I would really appreciate it. I am really appealed by the interior space and the fact that it seats 7 grown-up's comfortably and its uniqueness compared to other minivans. It is equipped with a VR6 engine (with timing chain?), 4-speed auto trans, traction control and ESP. I want to hear from our dieselers' opinions on this besides my own readings from the web.

It's my understanding that the later versions with the VR6 were much much improved over the older I-5 Eurovans. If they weren't so damn expensive, I'd probably sell our very reliable Vanagon and buy one. A short wheelbase/lowroof Sprinter would be a nice alternative, though they're a bit more spartan.

Re: [MBZ] CarFax Request and VW EuroVan Opinion
A friend has a '93 EuroVan MV Westfalia w/ 5-speed manual trans that we have used for a few times. Everyone in my family seemed to like it very much - wife liked the interior space that we moved a washer and a dryer with no problem while my 5-year old daughter was facinated by the folding table, curtains, and that the 3rd row seat pulls out and becomes a bed! I have heard the auto trans in the later years are problematic and a rebuilt costs four to five thousands dollars. I am keep the fingers crossed.
