Dear fellow vanagon-lovers
Please take a look at the sale-advert for Mary from Denmark - a one of a kind expediton Syncro, that has been around the world, and is in great shape - and available in the US for 29K$.
The Bager family are finalizing their world-tour in the US, and are looking at the possibility to sell Mary in the states, instead of shipping her back home to Denmark
Take a look at the car here:

1990 Syncro 4X4, Expedition ready for 5 Persons, 1,9L TD Price
29,000US$
Our loved Vanagon, named Mary, who has been our home at our 2
years journey around the world will be for sale when we end our journey in the
end of July 2010 in Canada. She has taken us safely on adventures on and off
road in Australia, New Zealand, South America, USA and Canada. She is fully
equipped for more adventures all over the world.
She is a one of a kind
in USA and Canada and this is the only chance to get a car like this.
She
is a black/silver Caravelle Syncro Vanagon from 1990 with following:
? 1,9L
AAZ turbo diesel engine. This engine is used all over the world by VW and Audi
in models like Golf and Passat etc. The engine is totally rebuild in January
2010. The engine is very strong and reliable and it is easy to get parts for it
and repair it all over the world. The AAZ engine is regarded as one of the best
diesel engines ever standardmounted in the Vanagons.
? Differential lock for
front wheels and back wheels. Which means that only one front wheel and only one
back wheel needs to touch the ground, and she will still keep going. This
combination was never imported to USA or Canada.
? Decoupler. This means that
she can be a 2WD or 4WD on demand.
? Heavy duty South African springs in
front and specially designed super heavy duty springs in back. All new in
2010.
? Old Man Emu shoks in front and back. All new in may 2010.
? Goes
about 24miles per gallon (10km/L) fully loaded and with the topbox on. With
normal load and without the topbox, these models normally goes 32-33 miles per
gallon (13-14km/L). This is much better than the usual gasoline Syncros in USA
and Canada.
? Power stearing (rebuild in January 2010).
? Alternator, the
starter and the diesel pump are all rebuild in 2009.
? All CV joints (inner
and outer) replaced in 2009
? Totally stripped down and newpainted outside
and inside in 2007.
Camping features
? Special designed camper that
sleeps 5 adults and has seatbelts for 7.
? Reimo pop up roof. Compared to
the usually Westfalia, the Reimo offers about 10cm more free space over the
mattresses when popped down. Hereby there is space enough for sleeping bags and
pillows for the persons who sleep upstairs.
? Huge storage capacity with 10
waterproof heavy duty aluboxes. It is a unique system that uses the space much
more efficient.
? Table with sink behind the passenger seat (kitchen).
?
Wall mounted flip up table (weekender model).
? Colemann portable gasoline
stove, which can be used all over the world.
? Waeco 60L portable fridge
that runs on 12V or 110V or 220V
? Webasto diesel heater for the cabin (very
nice in cold mornings).
? 2 extra batteries for fridge, light, radio, water
pumps, heater etc. (the car has 3 batteries all in all).
? Solarpanel
?
Power converter to 220V (can easily be changed to 110V in about 10
minutes).
? Watertank with a capacity of 80L (21gallon)
? Katadyn ceramic
filtersystem for making drinking water. This system has a capacity of about 25L
(6-7gallon).
? Extra 80L (21gallon) dieseltank which gives the car a range of
far more than 1.000km.
? Fiama F45 canopy/awning. This model is longer than
the standard in USA and covers the entire length of the car, including most of
the front door.
? Skirt to put on the side for wind protection.
? Heavy
duty bikerack on the back for 5 bikes. It now carries a box in stainless
steel.
? Tube for 6-8 fishing rods. The tube is 5feet long.
? Fiama Topbox
with a capacity of 400L (105gallon).
As she has been our home for the
journey also means that we have always kept her in the best possible condition
so we always can rely on her. Inside she is cleaned several times a week and all
seats are permanently covered with washable sheets. The mechanical parts have
always been serviced the best way possible. The Engine oil and filter is for
instance changed every 5.000km.
The price for such a well equipped van is
extremely low here in the USA/Canada. If she is not soled at the middle of July,
we simply ship her back to Europe, so don?t wait too long to come and see her.
She is on Danish license plates and the new buyer has to do all the needed
paperwork to get her on new plates.
If you interested to see the car our
journey will go from Utah in the first week of June, to Yellowstone NP and cross
the border to Canada about the 12/13 of June heading to Banf and Jasper in
Canada.
