For Sale: 1982 Vanagon GL, 2.0L, FI, air-cooled, 80,287 miles (approx 21K on rebuilt engine), two-tone blue, tinted windows, 7-pass, rebuilt exhaust system, USA/Federal version, currently smogged, registered, and titled in California. Vehicle currently used as a commuting vehicle in San Diego, california. The Vanagon was originally purchased while living in Lincoln, NE, as a *long-term* driving/camping vehicle for the family. I'm also the original owner of a '73 Squareback ... to give you an ida of what I mean by long-term. With "log-term" in mind, I did a complete engine rebuild (new oil pump, camshaft, pistons, cylinders, main bearings,lifters, push rods, tubes,tube seals, main seals, throw-out bearings, flywheel, clutch plate, AFS, etc., etc.). After the rebuild, it was used daily for short in-town trips (5-10 miles), and occasionally for longer trips (camping, 200-400 miles RT). The Vanagon was driven to san Diego, in May 1996. Since September, it has been used alomost daily for a 36 mile RT commute. It has been averaging abround 17 mpg for the commute. To pass California smog testing the entire exhaust system was rebuilt (reconditioned USA/Fed Cross-over pipe, new muffler, new cat aconverter, new EGR filter, etc.). Ideally, I would like to keep this "workhorse" Vanagon. I have invested a lot of time, effort, and funds in this vehicle with the intention of keeping it long-term. But the recent inheritance of an 86' Westfalia, functionally makes the Vangon obsolete. In addition, my spouse would like to purcahse a smaller car for commuting. I can't justify the EXHORBITANT California insurance costs on four vehicles, but more inportantly, I would like to conserve funds for a complete restoration of my Squareback (planned for next Summer). Botton line: I need to find a new home for this Vanagon. Hopefully, a home that will use, but not abuse this "workhorse" vehicle.
