    I don't like things breaking down nor fixing stuff; so of those choices, I'd go for the 350. You (usually) get what you pay for.

    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    The cheap van is a gamble, could be the best deal, could be a big waste of time and money. You'll probably spend a few hundred right off the bat and then keep your fingers crossed. It's likely what I would do, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, especially if they are not doing their own repairs.

    that's a good point, you've got to be mechanically inclined. I've been doing my own repairs since i was a kid, and the very few times i've taken anything to a shop, i've always regretted it, either for price or shoddy work. The rare exceptions to this was in needing parts machined or something like that, where I've had fairly good luck
