Tried that by getting an Allroad.
A "proper" MK1 Alload, V6 2.7 twinturbo, all the toys. Uppy-downy suspension, tippable 'box, etc...
The bill for the first repairs was around 600 for a starter motor, then 5 months later the dam burst and the cost was equivalent to the GDP of a medium sized country.
Sold it for scrap for half the price of the starter.
Lesson learned.
