I've had my 1985 Vanagon Westfalia  for over 3 years and put 56,000 miles on
it in that time.  It has been THE most reliable used vehicle I have ever
purchased, and I have had many, many cars.  The heads have never been off
the engine and the odometer just turned past 182,000 miles.  I'm taking a
nice camping trip this weekend and will put another 1000 miles on it.

Thanks, but my Vanagon is pretty ideal.
