"obviously a dream' .........?
what the asking price ?
I suppose it could be worth that .
the *only* thing it has going for it ........is low miles.
And if it's not rusted, for where it is ..........that's big points to the
positive of course.
to call it a 'camper motorhome' is stretching it tough. .
there's a bathroom and a shower ?
Most women would think those come in any 'camper motorhome' .
And ..it's an air-cooled early vanagon ..with auto trans...
'not the best model to start with' let's say.
and I suspect the seller is likely not that aware of the entire water-cooled
and wbxr, and subaru, and Zetec and TDI etc. etc. 'enhanced vanagons' world.
low miles are nice..
and ..
I have seen, an own ...vanagons with 200K on them..
and sure they'be been through a few engines..
and have their 'loving minor wear and tear' on the insides and outsides..
but the whole van, suspension wise n' all , doesn't seem like there are that
many miles at all.
'most' vanagons these days are in the 150K to 250K miles range..
and they are just like a traditional general aviation small plane..
like a Cesna ...as long as you keep the body/chassis intact and healthy ..
you can rebuilt and upgrade on it forever.
Vanaongs ....non-rusted and non-crashed ones..
hvae many lives in them. Any good body/chassis can be turned into
whatever..
the ultimate tdi sycnro westy blah blah blah.
anyway...it's all fun.
and Vanagons rock,

This was listed here & ebay a few months ago - obviously it's a dream!
Amazingly such a great deal if only for it's current owner with high hopes.
Or is just high........ IF it ran without starting fluid maybe. . . . .
