I want to buy another car when I graduate, but I want to keep my CR-V, mainly because 1) It's my first car and has too many memories tied to it and 2) I've put almost $6K into it in parts so if I sold it it would be a loss.
I still plan to lease a Regal TourX as I have mentioned in previous posts, but I also want to get a cheap beater vehicle to move my competition sound system equipment into, something to have solely for an audio build platform, so I can have the cargo space in my CR-V back and keep it as a backup vehicle.
I was thinking of an Astro / Safari van, I've seen tons of neat audio builds done with them, and they're fairly plentiful and cheap, around $1,500 a pop on CarGurus.
Can anyone tell me what I'd be getting myself into with trying to own and maintain one, or problems to look for or expect in one?
I can tell from pictures their engine bays are fairly cramped but I'm no stranger to that, since owning the CR-V, I don't think I've ever worked on my car and *not* drawn blood at some point.
