Rudy,

If it's a Vanagon, it's rear wheel drive. The only way it can be front wheel drive short of major surgery is it is a Syncro (4wd) with the rear axles removed.

As discussed on the list before, the Wolfsburg Editions were late year production models w/ equipment that are normally optional. I believe the marketing guys at VW came up with this idea to stimulate sales midyear just before the new model years are announced. It's a good way to get rid of the previous year's inventory.

The cool thing about this is you get (in your case) and 1989 with most of the goodies which would have cost you extra for the 1990 model year. Try to find out which Wolfsburg Edition this guy is selling you. Is this a van, camper or ????
