$8K

2003 mercedes C230 kompressor !!!

LS1 F-body.

How big are those kids?

Just picked up an SVT Focus that i'm really happy with. Less than 6k, maybe way less depending on condition and options, gets a pretty nice, very solid dd.

mine has records, euro pkg (those cool headlights, factory heated Recaros, subwoofer), one owner less than 6k. your budget leaves a couple bucks for maintenance/upgrades. back seat is a cavern, bigger than the 'family' car Jetta.

+1. Any car add that includes the words "Stove burners work fine" can only end well.

Combine with "New wood panels and wood floor"

If that Westfalia trips your trigger, my buddy's got one that's a people mover, not a camper, for $3000. Probably less for family.

Kids are 8 and 9, and we already have the familymobile, so it doesn't need to be a kid hauler. It just needs reasonible seating in the back for the 5 or 6 times a month they ride with me.

That said, looks like they're going to repair my vehicle, so no shopping for me. Thanks for all the great suggestions, though.
