I would second the theft quote above. My buddy had one we used to take to mexico and camp out of it. I beleive it was stolen and recovered 4 separate times in 2 years, the final was a total loss. He had over 200 k miles on it driving back and forth to san diego and santa cruz without much problem. The ignition got jacked up so much you could take the keys out while driving, and the auto transmission shifter did not require you to push the button to shift. While driving it once i actually had it accidentally shift in reverse while slowing down and having gear hit the shifter and put into reverse. seemed pretty bullet proof overall.
