Hello List,

I am sad to write this, but it looks like my vanagon will not be with me
soon. After entering the real world after college and having to drive daily
to get to work, the Vanagon is no longer the most practical vehicle to
drive. I have found a new vehicle to drive and in order to get it I need to
raise money to purchase it. One good thing is that the new vehicle is still
a VW, a new VW GTI 1.8T. After test driving one, I was convinced that this
was the vehicle I wanted. The van has served me well and I do regret having
to part with it. MANY memories were made with it. I am jsut starting to
think of ways to sell it but I wanted to give list members the first
knowledge of its availability on the market of Vanagons for sale. For list
members in Orange County, I hope you read this. To briefly describe my van:

90 Vanagon, base model, 4spd
2.1 engine with a few modifications
16 inch alloys with fat rubber
Tinted windows all around, windshield has crack, replace?(up to you)
EXCELLENT custom stereo, (for music lovers, you will be in heaven)

Well thats the basics I guess. It has almost 192K miles on it. I personally
drove 100K of those miles. The engine got new heads about 10K miles ago and
the tranny is fully rebuilt also. It goes pretty fast, cruises at 80 no
problem. I got a ticket for going 103 in it actually! It handles great,
takes corners like its on rails. For whoever gets this, they will be happy,
especially if they are a vanagon lover. I just don't want it to go to
someone who won't appreciate it and love it for what it is. Please email me
any interest at this email address.
