Before I purchased my latest Vanagon Westy, I took my "love partner" on a camping vacation to the Pacific Northwest. We rented a '82 full Westy from Northwest Campers in Bellingham WA and spent 10 fantastic days driving and camping on Widbey Island, Olympic Peninsula, Lake Crescent, Rialto Beach, Hoh Rain Forest, etc.

After the usual Vanagon acclimation period, (her figuring out how to get in and out the front seat gracefully) she began asking me if I thought we could buy one of our own.

My response: "Well, I guess I could try to find one.... somewhere."

She's addicted now. We even camped out in the Berkshires last January during a snow storm. I woke up at 4 AM freezing my ass off but she never stirred. I had the heater on and coffee ready when she got up. Better than life at home!

Just brought my first Vanagon home and the wife hates it, and I mean really hates it. She refuses to ride in it. So unfortunately it has to go. Before I list it on ebay and in the local paper I thought I should list it here since you all talked me into one and it should go to someone who will appreciate it more them my wife. I thought maybe I should sell the wife but I reconsidered.

I'm new to these Vanagons so you are welcome to come and check it out anytime because I don't want an unhappy buyer. I will send pics to any interested folks. Here are the details:

*This is NOT a mint Vanagon; it's my first decent driver Vanagon that fit in my budget. I got lucky with it being a 91. I figured I'd have to get an early model for under $3000. But it's a good well-used late model Vanagon and I only had to go $500 over my budget.

1991 GL Blue with gray interior and gray lower trim pieces and bumpers. Rear seat folds down, but there is no cushion 171,000 miles Stock 5 spoke alloy wheels Power windows (needs regulator installed, included) A/C but blows warm (will have it checked before sale) I've been driving it and it runs great, plenty of power and starts right up, no smoke. Can be driven home easily. Inspected till Nov New front breaks and rotors just redone. I was told the head gasket and motor are in great shape (I will give you the garage's number I bought it from for verification) Rear corner of bumper was hit (busted up pretty good) and may be fixable. Lower rear wheel well skirts have been banged up a bit (new ones are included so you or your body shop can swap them out) Some minor dings and dents here and there, but not to bad and very repairable. Interior is in good shape, a couple of tears in the back of the middle seats and 2 tiny round holes in the front seats. A little dirty, but I am having it cleaned over the next few days.

Looking to get my money back so $3500.00 is my price.

Not sure what else might be of interest or what I may be leaving out, so please if you need more info ask or call me anytime.
