Lhd or rhd (lhd once ive checked some out)
1.6 or 1.9tdi diesel

At my price range. Not to bad.
Interior i wouldnt mind if it was bare. But accessories i think i could go mad on if im not carefull.

I think the rest of the forum is just as eager for you to get a van as you are!
Like the guys have said, just hold out till "Mr Right(van)" comes up!

You won't get a TDI for your price range and if you do it'll be a bodge job stick to a TD more than likely a 1.6 if your lucky a 1.9
