Sharan vs Opel Zafira OPC vs Ford Galaxy: Choosing Economical Family Van up to $20,000

Best answers LABEL_AI_GENERATED

How should I choose an economical family van for longer trips under 20,000 PLN, especially between a Sharan, Opel Zafira OPC, and Ford Galaxy, and which engine type is better: diesel or petrol/LPG?

With a budget of 20,000 PLN, you will mostly be shopping among 15–20-year-old vans, so the choice is quite limited and you should expect age-related compromises [#16937119] The thread suggests looking not only at Sharan/Galaxy/Alhambra, but also at models like C8/807/Ulysse/Phedra, Espace, V-Class, Caravelle/Multivan, and even Voyager/Town & Country [#16937119] One opinion says a Mercedes Vito/Viano 639 is not very safe, while Viano is the luxury version and Vito is the cheaper option; if you find a rust-free one, it is recommended [#16937180] No reply gives a clear engine winner between diesel and petrol, but the main practical advice is to focus on finding the best-preserved car in this price range rather than chasing a specific badge or trim [#16937119][#16937180]

    Hello, I am planning to buy a van in the spring. I really like the Sharan in the polift version. I was thinking about the Opel Zafira but in the OPC version. Well, and maybe also the Ford Galaxy. Help me make a choice. I mean the power unit most. The car is supposed to be economical I do not know if diesel or gas. It will be used for longer trips with the family. Well, failure rate is also important and costs of parts. Thank you all for the advice.

    With this budget still asking in the forum ??? What is (are) you ???
    If for 20 thousand PLN will be a problem, the worst amount to buy, cars already 10-15 years old down, etc. For 20 you will buy a normal voyager faster or something similar than sharana / galaxy / alhambra.

    20,000,000 is TWENTY MILLION. You can buy whatever you want - even with golden door handles.

    Just one example? Throw in the gugel "you" and you will see that it is a spelling NATIONAL CATASTROPHE ;)
    Show me the abbreviation "you" in any newspaper!
    Well - only that the public does not read newspapers. Only Fejsbuk has been reading since he left school.
    But despite everything it's not bad - one converted individual (or maybe even several) :)
    PS: I'm sorry for OT :) and Dosiiego Roku for everyone :)

    As for the car, there were many subjects, and the selection is relatively small: sharan / galaxy / alhambra, C8 / 807 / ulysse / phedra, espace, V-klase, caravelle / multivan, overseas voyager / town-country and a bit from far East: MPV, hiace, starex, trajet, sienna, odyssey, quest. Many of these will be 15-20 years old for 20,000 zł.

    Vito / Viano model 639 is not very safe. Viano is a luxury microbus, Vito can be bought in Poland as a tin converted into a bus - it even looks cool and is much cheaper than Viano. If you catch such an uncorroded product, I recommend it.
