Today I purchased the Vanagon I looked at 1 week ago. I brought it home, it was about 50 miles. It did beautifully, with not a single problem. It gave good power, and seemed to loosen up as time went on. It sat for over a year without being started. All it needed was a battery! After going thru receipts, over $10k has been invested in this van in the last 3 years. Everything from a paint job to a new motor and auto transmission. VDO gauges, new tires, brakes, shocks....the list is very long. I went over it today with a fine tooth comb and only found it to need 1 light bulb and 2 wiper blades. Boy do I feel lucky!
