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

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)
