So I've always heard that old VWs are cheap to maintain and easy to fix, I'm looking at getting an old Bus, a panel or a kombi.
Here's the situation, I have no experience with cars other than adding oil or transmission fluid and being able to figure out which belt on my 1992 Voyager is squeeking. I just bought a bunch of books from Amazon on fixing and maintaining VWs (How to Rebuild Your Volkswagen Air-Cooled Engine, Volkswagen Station Wagon/Bus: Official Serverice Manual, How to Keep Your Volkswagen Alive, VW Bus Custom Handbook, VW Beetle & Transporter: Guide to Purchase & DIY Restoration) and I'm technically inclined and willing to read manuals.
If I buy one in decent physical condition that runs well is a VW Bus something I can reasonably and quickly learn to maintain myself on a artist/student budget?
Or, would it be cheaper than taking my 92 Plymouth Voyager to the mechanic on a regular basis?
Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
Thanks!
