Hi Volks,


Your Vanagon is ten years old.  The 200bhp Eurovan is zero years old.  Comes
with a four year warranty.  We're talkin the Multivan Westfalia popup here
not the ordinaire Eurovan.


VAG made some serious improvements.  Drivetrain, comfort, lower price, good
warranty.  To bring your 10yr old Westie multivan up to snuff you'll spend
twenty thousand frogskins.  AND you'll still have no ABS, no traction
control, no warranty.


No comparison.  a ten year old 25000$ multivan or a zero year old 30000$
modern multivan, OBD II compliant, real brakes, heated seats...on and on and
on.  For me it's a no brainer but I have this syncro, you see....


No BenT it's not for sale.
