Looks like a van, feels like a van to drive
The Caravelle scores no points in the style stakes, but it's an appealingly no-nonsense proposition.
VW vans and 'buses hold their values well. Earlier Caravelles are still fetching top money at specialist dealers', and only the very oldest and most hard-worked make budget family/lifestyle transport.
This generation of Caravelle, with its refined diesel engines, won't be available on the used market for a long time yet, and when it is, it will still be expensive.
Remember that the older models are classed as vans, and thus subject to VAT and higher road tax.
