There's an aircooled '82 AW here in 23221 and I've been told the price is "$4000 and not a penny less," but it is presumably road-ready and complete, also dentless and rustless. If you can get a hint of the interest in the vehicle that might affect your bid. Depends on how bad you want it, I reckon.

dear new Adventure Wagoner ...
good find ... well done ..
if your vehicle has been sitting for a long time
you may need to do a couple of things ...'
New tires ... even if they look good to the eye ...
the stress of sitting in one place for a long time then being asked to go
round and round is likely too much of a hardship -
the brakes may have separated asbestos from metal ...
and seals may have let go that have not been flexed and used in the last
however long
i will be facing all this with my 89 lebaron when i put it on the road this
summer after a two year + in storage
(under a car cover)
lots of mold to clean up ..etc ...
any way ... glad to see you have found the sleeping VW-AW
yours

I have just looked at an 84 adventure wagon. It has 39,000 miles and body is
perfect, no rust no dents except 2 small dents. Paint is 2 tone faded but
with wax should be great. it looks like it has been sitting a long time. It
is part of an estate sale. Battery is dead and the sale person wouldn't let
me jump it. She did let me hook up a charger and I can come back tomorrow.
my question is what is the value of the adventure wagons, I see the layout
of this one is very different than the standard westfalias I have seen. What
is the history on these and what are they worth. I like tha hard top with
all the windows and big skylight. What should I be looking at before buying?

Picking up garbage and telling people things.
