Subject: Re: how much did you pay for your vanagon
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
My 1991 Vanagon Carat with 51000 miles original miles was $3000. It has had
body work and a paint job (which all had to be redone because it was a
horrible job). The interior is in new shape. However it did not come with
the middle seat(s) because it had a wheelchair lift. Also, it has a full
electric captains chair at drivers seat for handicap accessable driving along
with other handicap friendly options from the factory. I was so desperate to
have a Vanagon and in Maryland you take what you can get. The mileage was
good but whoever drove it the 51000 miles gave it hell! It is quite a
unique van to say the least. Anyone out there have one of these? The lift
is now out and I have acquired one jumpseat (no darn seatbelt!) and now it is
almost like a regular vanagon (except the brake system). The dealer was
asking $7000 for it and I pointed out I wasn't stupid enough not to see it
was in an accident and nobody around here would want the van especially with
a wheelchair lift. So I talked the man down to $3000----quite a bargain
hunter.
