Hi Bernie, That's nothing new. Elsewhere on the continent that kind of dealer behavior started many years ago. If you've been on this list for long then you know that there are solutions to almost any problem. But since they are not the kind of solutions that fit well into the business model of a modern VW dealership, the dealership would rather not have to deal with the issue. If someone wants to drive a Vanagon, they should be willing to accept that they won't get much in the way of dealer support for that decision. For the kind of customer who asks the dealer what to buy, the dealer answered correctly. YMMV.
