>>412040Plenty of decent vans in Europe under €2000 or even less.
You should know that most of your cost will go towards paying Insurance and road tax, depending on the country.
Don't buy anything from UK. It will be rotten from rust.
The older MkII, MkIII Mk IV, Mk V Ford Transit series of vans are cheap and very reliable, but also noisy, dirty, and old.
Plus they are mostly workman's vans and will be beat to shit.
Peugeot Boxer, Fiat Ducato, Citroen Jumper, Mercedes Sprinter and the newer Transit all drive like cars and you may even find some in Automatic Transmission.
Smaller vans like Peugeot Partner, Renault Kangoo, Citroen Berlingo, Mercedes Vito, Fiat Doblo, VW Transporter, Transit Connect
are big enough for a person to sleep in but still small enough to find parking spaces in a city.
All of the above basically come in panel van and passenger carrier variants.
You should also consider an Estate wagon or a Mini-Van.
