Used Car of the Day: 2003 Volkswagen Eurovan Weekender MV

It's been awhile since we've had some van time. Today, though, we rectify that with this 2003 Volkswagen Eurovan Weekender MV.


The seller is the third owner and has owned it since 2016. He or she says it's been mostly used for camping, and it sits in a garage when not being used for sleeping in the woods.

Our seller says the van has been well maintained but more maintenance is due soon.

It does indeed look like a serious amount of maintenance work has been done, judging by the list provided in the ad.

There are some concerns, though. The mileage is 235K, the windshield has a cracked, it will need timing chains soon, and there's air injection leak. Oh, and the torque converter lockup is "weak."

The asking price is $17,000 for this Tennessee-based van, and the seller also has a running parts-bin Eurovan that will be thrown in. Our seller will also take trades.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Just because you don't see many of them on the road doesn't mean they go up in value. I'm sure finding parts for it will be an adventure. 🙄

    That fold out table would have been awesome...until you hit something. It's a cult car, and there probably aren't many left, which explains the silly price.
  • Theflyersfan Round one of severe storms has ended. Round two comes around dinner. Round three later tonight. Less scheduling goes into international vacations than trying to figure out when to grill and then when to load the fireworks into the car and head to the designated launch zone!

I have no information on why, but I will declare this to be a matter of them being ignorant and needing 'education' to give them the same opinion I have on this matter. And I demand that the outside world join me in the world I've created in my head, and anyone who doesn't is by definition wrong and ignorant. My actual ignorance of any actual facts at hand is immaterial, and my wants trump whatever information they think they have."

Nothing there that I would want. Things that might help Cadillac:start thinking past 36 month leasing, quality countsthere's more to life than cherry picking parts from the Chevy parts bintodays bling is yesterdays mullet , try something classyreal men drive real cars with real leather seatsshowcase EVs as new technology, not some government mandate shoved down my throata rear drive sedan restricted to livery service with extra leg room in the rear would be a foil to MBstop chasing BMW, Lexus, MB, Audi, etc; be yourself
  • Peter You know what they say about If it ain’t broke. Cadillac is on track to 155,000 vehicles in the US this year. The luxury brands that out sell Cadillac are all heavy on low end and entry models.
