Hello fellow list members,
The time has come to sell my beloved ’88 Wolfsburg Vanagon and pursue
my new love of motorcycles.
It has been my daily driver for the past 2 years and received lots of
TLC. The Wolfsburg Edition includes the fold down Bed, Side Table,
Curtains, Fluorescent light and Rear facing jumpseats. 221K new heads
22K ago. Manual Transmission, PD, PW, PM. Always used Pentosin (blue)
coolant and Mann oil filters. 2.1L runs strong and has rock steady
idle at 880 rpm. All grounds have been cleaned and it’s never once
experienced Vanagon Syndrome. No chips or cracks in the headlights.
Small oil leak at 1 push rod tube. Easy fix for any backyard
mechanic. Body has it shares of chips and small dings. Some damage on
the rear passenger fender well which is the most common body damage
on Vanagons. No rust except small surface rust at the fender well
body damage. Interior is in excellent condition with no tears or
stains. Bentley Manual included.
Yakima Rack with high rise adapters included. (not shown)
