Listees,

In resort-area Palm Springs, "my" local dealer, Livreri VW, charged me $14.00 within the year for the "official" black oil filter for my 84 Westy. I finally figured out that the markup on the few Vanagon parts I have purchased there has been 100 percent above those of other dealers, nationwide and in Canada. Caveat emptor. My wife says Janet Reno is her best friend's fashion godess. Busdepot and Vanagain are my Vanagon parts dieties.
