Do some research before you buy one of these. Definitely join the EV mail list to see what you are getting into. These are expensive to buy, and expensive to maintain. I came close to getting one this year, but ended up keeping the '84. Look at some newer Vanagons first, and even check this out for comparison: http://www.gtrv.com/index.htm The EVC is "not your father's" VW, long gone is the simplicity and reliability. If you get one buy the longest extended warranty you can! I may end up getting a used 2000 or 2001 EVC in four or five years, but I doubt I'd ever pay the price for a new one. Sorry you are having so much trouble finding one, they are everywhere here. Carter VW in Seattle is the #1 seller of EVCs in the country, or so they claim. They just got 10 in this month. Funny, they are all white! ;-) -- Stuart MacMillan Seattle '84 Vanagon Westfalia w/2.1 '65 MGB (Driven since 1969) '74 MGB GT (Restoring) Assisting on Restoration: '72 MGB GT (Daughter's) '64 MGB (Son's) Parts cars: '68 & '73 MGB, '67 MGB GT |
