Tiger Compact Van?

[Porterdog]

I saw one of these little guys for sale, but don't know anything about compact vans. Does anyone have any experience with these? I saw a ton of them in Bali when I was there. I would only be using it for a city commuter to spare miles on my big van. Thoughts?

Did some quick research. From what I've found, they are LSVs and only plateable in in the state of Oklahoma.

Thoughts?

Just about any cheap, used vehicle besides that - motorcycle, van, car, truck, etc. What you save in purchase price you can put towards gas.

Thanks for the info! Looks like a solid no-go on that compact van

I like their Deck Van even better. It's like the van with a small truck bed (deck) on the back. They actually are legally driven on roads here in AR but only with farm tags and lots of legal hassles.
