Original message:
Before I buy it, though, I must ask.  Would a 1985 be an any better bet
than a 1984 (intrinsically, I mean.  I haven't actually seen the '85, so
I can't vouch for its condition).  The price is pretty much the same
----------


I think the newer - the better.  1985 gets an easier to close sliding door
latch and nicer upholstery.  Nicer interior and exterior colors also.
I think VW improved and refined the details as the years went on.
For example: current South African vanagons use rotary dial heater controls
which are easy to use, without having to read the owners manual.
