I recently stumbled on what may be the coolest mode of transport ever. It is an 82 Vanagon. The owner wants $2000.00 for it. Does that seem a fair price? It has all the amenities, heater, air conditioner, fridge, stove, sink, poptop. It drove rather good and has little rust. I believe that it is a Wolfberg West Edition if that means anything. Like I said, I am new to this and any help would be appreciated. >> $2000 seems ok for a '82 (Westfalia Camper , i presume, since you said it was a poptop) beware of the aircooled vans that had air conditioning...the A/C is quite a strain on the aircooled motor.. does it leak/burn oil? have good compression? also, there was no such thing as the Wolfsburg Edition in '82. the previous owner must have just added the little badges, himself. the Wolfsburg edition didnt come out 'till '84. good luck, chris |
