I have a project that will require a van for a few months. Rather than rent, I was thinking that the way to go might be to to buy a cheap van and sell it when I'm done. Appearance doesn't matter, as long as it has cargo capacity, a reliable drivetrain, and a good radio. But I don't know the merits of Chevy vs Ford vs Dodge, although I once had a nasty exercise of replacing the fuel pump in a Chevy truck. And then there's the Sprinter option: more cargo space for twice the price. If I can find a Sprinter Diesel, I have a lots of tools and parts from my 190D that might come in handy.

Sooooo...any thoughts, suggestions, recommendations?
