I've been surprised by the used price of these, given how expensive everything else is. They're affordable when bare bones.

They're probably run into the ground by delivery drivers.

They're definitely run into the ground by delivery drivers.

And plumbers.

And carpet layers.

And anyone who hauls small cargo that needs to be kept dry from the rain.

I love work vans, but used ones are often very used. This isn't granny going to church every Sunday. This is Mike the electrician going all over town every day to fix faulty wiring in people's houses.
