hi guys. ive come here for some advice on these T5 Transporters. Ive been reading some people are very wary of the Auto transmissions ....

So the one ive looked at is a 2008 Auto Diesel Crewvan. has about 156k on the clock and has log books and service history. The dealer says its been well looked after (surprise surprise lol)

He is asking $14k for it. These Crewvans are not as common so maybe thats pushed the price up.. no idea.

so what do you guys think? is that too much and / or should i be steering clear of these T5 autos anyway because of the potential very costly repairs?

its only going to be used for weekend recreation etc. im not putting tens of thousands of Ks into it per year thats for sure...

thanks!
