I earlier stated that the dark gray wolfsburg vanagons are easily the
prettiest vanagons that VW ever made.
Combined with a very flexible interior layout, and the biggest bed,
and what I consider good road handling manners, I hope you get your
asking for the van, it's seems like it should find a lucky buyer.
You should... have web pages with full photos, of each section..
interior, ext. , electronics, engines...
Maybe a timeline list of the new stuff, and repairs?
and a youtube video...
My buyer actually drove from VA, and felt comfortable driving back in
the van... based on my report and the video...
Unfortunately the clutch broke less than a few miles away, I refunded
his $, fixed it, and he picked it up (again) today, again VA to NY
and back.
I sold it the same day I posted my pictures and video.
