1993 vs 2000 Eurovan?

Hello, camper community.

I’m a touring musician and rock climber looking to get an awesome camper van to take adventuring. Right now I have 2 possible Eurovans near me and I’m trying to decide which is better. Help!

Option 1: 1993 automatic with pop top, 160k miles, timing belt, axle boots, and shocks replaced. $10.5k

Option 2: 2000 automatic, NO pop top, 170k miles, needs shocks replaced (quoted $1400 for all 4). They’re asking $14k but may be willing to budge there.

I REALLY want a pop top and would prefer to stay under $11k so I’m leaning towards the ‘93, but wondering if the year makes that significant of a difference with finding parts to fix potential transmission issues down the line, as they’re both automatics. Would also be down to swap the ‘93 to a manual transmission if it goes, which I’ve heard is easier than finding a replacement.

Any advice is helpful!
