The conversion van is very tempting and I was thinking of one when we could do long trips.

The problem for me is the track record.

Do I like it, sure it has the potential. Mechanically the project is in good shape based on the pictures. Not my favorite color but i can live with it.

Jeeps are not known for MPG :) There is a reason I opted for the extended range tank (24 gal).

Depending on your location and use. I think two 30 mile+ commutes to work and my regular shopping via ridesharing-du-jour will be much more than a car payment.

Neutral. We are doing all we can to minimize the impact and do not see us failing at this time. Reducing travel to offset loss from sales.

I would consider it for just shy of 4k USD. At that price you are typically looking at beaters and given up projects.

Neutral - Talking myself out of buying another “toy” car. Already have one but there are couple that are making me think about it. Then I remember I have nearly zero skills at fixing an older car and limited time to learn. Also I cannot hide my shame in a garage.

You went against the God King Elon? Please wait for the fanbois to storm your home, your patience will be appreciated.

While not my favorite car, this one at $400 is interesting and could become a driver with some work. Let’s call it under at grand for a slice of history.

Neutral - Myself, nothing. My wife - keeping the restaurant industry alive.

Had they left it alone, still to high. Given the ad, description, and updates. That is a big NOPE. Just because you threw expensive parts at it, doesn’t make it worth that.

The people I work with everyday who live in India. It is a common topic as we discuss daily the conditions in each other’s countries. They are also in a different region. Much like the US, there are different rules/guidelines depending on the conditions. In this case, the team is much further south.

Neutral - It’s a dinglehopper!

I so wanted to hit NP on this one. Some of the big fixes were done, for example removing the air bags.

From people I know in India, there is a full lockdown that is supported by the powers that be.

I can get into this as my profile pic is a 22 year old family car. Been with us since it had around 40 miles. Now quite a few more.

Let me know if you need this.

The problem is both objects did their job. To reflect the outcome, one of the items has to not load :)
