I think you should keep your Vanagon also. I have not seen anything for sale out there with under a 100,000 miles on it. Currently my Vanagon has a little over 212,000 miles, and its a 90. You know the history on your van, who knows what you might be getting yourself into on somebody elses. Three weeks after I bought my 90, it threw a rod, and I had to get the engine rebuilt. That was almost 5 years ago. I am lucky my husband didn't make me sell it right then and there. Since then I have spent thousands keeping him in good shape. That includes a transmission. Unless there is lots of rust, and it is on its way to the junkyard, I would think twice about trading up. Julianna 90 VW Vanagon Westfalia 76 VW Automatic Bay Westfalia |
