Upgrading to lower mileage vehicle, so I'm selling my trusty '87 vanagon. San Francisco Bay Area location Here's the details: 1987 VW Vanagon GL High mileage (155k) Weekender package Cruise control Air conditioning, completely checked last summer Electric mirrors Electric door locks (some need tweaking) No significant damage, a couple small scratches though Engine runs great, just passed smog easily Consistently gets 19 mpg New plugs, rotor, distributor cap, oxy sensor Also just paid registration for 1995 Automatic transmission, slips a bit in 2nd up steep hills, but is perfectly driveable. New master and rear brake cylinders (needs some bleeding, still spongy, I'll probably get around to it) Bentley manual included Reasonable offer not refused I'm considering buying a '90 vanagon if I can find a weekender with low mileage. Also have looked at Eurovans at Bob Lewis VW, they have a couple GL's there with about 18k miles but want $21k, even if they drop to $17k it's a lot of dough for a used vehicle. I looked at Fords, you can buy a new '94 with 4.0 liter engine for $20k. VW screwed up big time: I've always owned VW vans and would for the rest of my life except there aren't any new ones (for all practical purposes!) Buying a '93 Eurovan seems risky for parts availability, I think I read there's been less than 10,000 sold in the US.
