>though. So what about a 93 model? Priced from $6900-8500. We have a 95 we got used in 98. Its a decent vehicle. Pros: very reliable, easy to work on... good design characteristics. Cons: Winebago camper conversion sucks, very poor quality compared to Westfalia. Noisy when driving at high speeds, underpowered a little (1995 had a 5 cylinder), parts are VERY expensive). Tires are a little hard to find and expensive. Driving it in the city sucks, vehicle sways heavily in turns and I even have Bilstien shocks on it. Its very long so your always getting wacked in parking lots. Overall its a good vehicle, I have alot of complaints about ours but its reliability is its biggest point.
